Fruit Tree by Nick Drake. Actually, I'd love to have written a lot of his songs and every time one is played on the TV it becomes the one I want to have written. When the Vicks advert comes on it's 'From the Morning' that I'm in love with and when someone uses 'Northern Sky' or 'Pink Moon' I have to get them out and play them too.

EDIT- actually, change all of that. If I can only pick one, can I choose 'I was made to love magic' instead? Or maybe 'Stellar' by Incubus?

Mind you when you think of all the different artist that sang My Way (Sex Pistols version best for me personally) and it only took 30mins to write, look at the royalties, I would have got for that:)

Most of Meatloaf's back catalogue... In fact if I could sing better than I can, I'd consider going to a studio and recording a cover version of Bat out of hell! Imagine the royalties! And possibly the chance to meet (no pun intended) the Meat himself!

I would also have liked to have written: Dont Stop Me Now by Queen. That song is so exciting, and so "me".
