Oh, and also This Mortal Coil's version of Song to the Siren - arguably not better than Tim Buckley's wonderful original, but certainly its equal.

Is that the one that goes "All I want to do is spend some time with you ?"
If so that is an excellent call if I may say.

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Jesus Don't want me for a Sunbeam by Nirvana was a cover, wasn't it?
The unplugged version is pretty special ...

Cheers. Well that a bit different isn't it ?? Not bad. I agree with one of the earlier posters, if you're gonna cover a song you've got to add something to add something to it - I suppose thats what these guys have done.

Trufflehound - 'You and your sister' was the song I was thinking of - a truly sublime song.
