Apologies for this one but does the intro sound a bit like "Death Comes to Town"?

Not actually a song but we've definitely heard this. I don't think it was credited on the sleeve.

I was listening to the Beatles today and the following lyrics to "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" caught my attention:

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew what I could not say

The song sounds nothing like "It's a Dirty World" but the lyrics aren't a million miles away

100%- this is actually a pretty decent tune, never really listened to Leonard Cohen before, just always heard clips of the odd song, but I really enjoyed this

Hmm, more of a Pulp-video vibe. I've heard this song many times over the years, I think I know the bit you're thinking of, the insistent repeated notes on the keys but nah, they wish they could be as good as Pulp.

Yeah, I was trying to add this to Weed's "Sounds Like Pulp" playlist on Spotify last night! David's Last Summer in the breakdown completely. Hawley is a big fan of these and I'm sure Jarvis knew of it too.

I'm sitting here smiling at some of these similarities. I'm loving the original songs too. Great songs. Thanks for the heads up on these. My listening sorted for Saturday night!

You've a good ear for these Ian but your old examples are impossible to check-out as the youtube links are dead :(
Maybe best off typing the name of the song too.
