The lyric snippets below are from the last five songs played on my iPod this morning. Can you identify the songs? Quite a tough one this week I think...
- There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror, Right on top of my right eye, And I can't stop staring back, How did I get this way?, Take a big look at a living lie.
- Now your lover went and put me in the ground, I'll be watching, when he's around. Now your lover went and put me in the ground, I'll be watching...when he's around.
- Oh, ball of fire, In the summer sky, Your healing light, your parade of days. Are they betrayed, by the men of power, Who hold this world in their changing hands.
- Well, I'm hanging round the depot, boys, Can't get a job, I'm so sick and tired of being laid off, No silver lining, no rainbow's end, Blues in my mailbox, that's all they ever send.
- And he's searched underground and overground for a partner, Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw, He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer, So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw.
Answers in the comments please, and no Googling!

My encyclopaedic knowledge encompasses just one of these lyrics - No 3 - Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Mother Earth (from Ragged Glory)
Although I feel I should know number 5 I don't. I assume you've taken a wee liking for Rory Gallagher though because no. 4 is At the Depot.
Two out of five this week. Not bad but could do better.
The answers are:
1. Rags To Rags - Eels
2. Brick Shithouse - Placebo
3. Mother Earth (Natural Anthem) - Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4. At The Depot - Rory Gallagher
5. I Smell Winter - The Housemartins
