A little late arrival: Paul the Spud sets Question of the Day at Shakespeare's Sister - "which song do you wish you had written?"

Lots of great answers, and of course much discussion of the marvellous "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.

My choice for what I wish I had written? today I would go for the brilliant Nick Cave and "God is in the House". I'm with my pal George that the line about "Well-meaning little therapists, Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists" - great alliteration!

Awesome song too.

Completely unrelated to the Shakespeare's Sister post, but I couldn't find anywhere appropriate to put it...

I just noticed you have Jim Dodge's Stone Junction in your recommended reading list. I love his stuff. And I got to meet him! And spent a good half hour or so nattering with the great man himself! He's wonderful. He's published by Canongate, and therefore got to share a book launch with the wonderful Helen Walsh. Oooh, I forgot about that. She shared a book launch with Jim Dodge. How cool is that? And to think, they very nearly published me... *sigh* Oh well, next time.
