    Monday Morning 5.15 by Rialto. I think that was the name of their song. They were dubbed 'the new Pulp' back in 1998 so I taped this song off the radio.

    Can we include possibly loosely associated songs such as:
    Time - David Bowie (after all it includes the beautiful piece "Oh I look at my watch it says 9.25 and I think 'Oh God, I'm still alive'" I LOVE that bit.

    and

    Monday Morning - Pulp

    Edit: A quick google is telling me the Rialto song was called Monday morning 5.19 but I genuinely thought it was the other. Can't be arsed youtubing it.

    Edit: Howza bout 20th Century Boy - T.Rex
