Which 10 songs do you wish you'd written? Not for reasons of financial gain or fame, or even because they are great, but rather because they strike some emotional chord. You must have had that 'I wish I'd written that' feeling - I'll start with 10 off the top of my head (in no particular order)

Ruby's Arms - Tom Waits
God only Knows - Beach Boys
She Doesn't Exist Any More - Robyn Hitchcock
How Soon Is Now? - Morrissey/Smiths
Ship Song - Nick Cave
Sparky's Dream - Teenage Fanclub
Shipbuilding - Elvis Costello
Back In Black - AC/DC (The perfect rock song)
Hurt - 9 inch Nails
What's Going On - Marvin Gaye

I could keep going for ages but that's the first 10 that came to mind.
