    Love both versions of this song, but it's a cover that really does the original justice.

    It's very good, as is Suede's version (and the original). Carter's versions of "This Is How It Feels" and "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" (posted above) are also brilliant.

    Proof that Leonard Cohen was a far better songwriter than singer.

    We've had this thread not too long ago.

    And my answer was "everlasting love" by Rachel Sweet and some other bloke. Then I listened to it and it sounded terrible and i hated myself like Prince Harrybalding does.

    My latest offering would be "Wild is the Wind" by David Bowie.

    Bought that album, very under rated, re-appeared as some mock Irish fiddlers a couple of years later.
