Can anyone add to this list of songs which are kind of 'spoken on' rather than sung, for a compilation CD I want to do. So far I've got:

Death in Vegas - Aisha
Belle & Sebastian - A Space Boy Dream
Ballboy - A Day in Space
Whipping Boy - We Don't Need Nobody Else
Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend
Blue Aeroplanes (virtually everything they've done!!)
Baz Luhrmann -Sunscreen

Failthless - Insomnia

Other faithless songs are like it but this is more spoken than the others in my opinion.

Theres no electricity, somethings all over me.
Greasy.
Insomnia please release me and let me dream about making mad love to my girl on the heath.
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But theres no release no peace
I toss and turn without cease
I open my eyes and rise like yeast.

she did have one album with proper songs on years ago which was superb. can't remember what it was called, but I do remember a great track called *coolsville*.
