As a brazen wannabee industry whore I could probably list any song that has made a few quid over the years but I'll fight the urge.

I  have to say that if I was to pick a recent one it would be P!NK's 'True love'- I hate you so much it must be true love, nothing breaks my heart like true love' - that is songwriting on a whole different level.

I'd also liked to have penned Chelsea Dagger mainly to say that I manged to write a smash hit that consisted mainly of a simple 'do, do, do,do,do' hook/chorus.

Land down under I'd liked to have written just for the pure folly of managing to get the words 'veggimite sandwich' into a completely absurd verse that also included '6 foot  4 and full of muscles'.

I guess when we talk about classics I'd love to have written Redemption Song by Bob Marley and Lyin Eyes by the Eagles.

I'd love to have written Still Crazy After All These Years. Kind of a benchmark for me in terms of songwriting. Having a standard to strive for is never a bad thing :D
