yeah, I think Buckley's is the best, but the original by Cohen is cool too!
I have a version performed by Imogen Heap... it's totally bad, just doesn't sound honest
here are some of the songs I like:
_______
"Spawn again" by Silverchair
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old in with the new
Discard the old in with the fashion
Who is the bad guy
For iron require mince, these are the facts
so eat what you murder,
this is animal liberation,
eight billion killed for human pleasure,
bring on the ape farm,
demolish the monkeys,
drink up drink up, look down on junkies
I'll hold it back, hold it back
Discard the old in with the new
Discard the old in with the fashion
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

"A forest" by The Cure
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again

"Sally's Song" by Fiona Apple
I sense there's something in the wind
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

"Make yourself" by Incubus
If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'dve fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow.
Powers that be would have swallowed me up,
but that's more than I can allow.
If you let them make you, they'll make you paper-mache.
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
then you crumble and blow away.
If you let them f*ck you, there will be no foreplay.
But rest assured, they'll screw you complete til' your ass is blue and grey.
You should make amends with you.
If only for better health.
But if you really want to live,
why not try and Make Yourself?
If I hadn't made me, I'dve fallen apart by now.
I won't let em' make me, it's more than I can allow.
So when I make me, I won't be papier-mache.
And if I f*ck me...I'll f*ck me in my own way.
You should make amends with you.
If only for better health.
But if you really want to live,
why not try and Make Yourself?
Make Yourself.
