I had to pick Charles Windsor - just cos it's so energetic. It's the one that sounds least like McCarthy. Altho I recently fell in love with Red Sleeping Beauty. And now like We Are All Bourgeois Now more than I used to (used to hate it)

I dislike Charles Windsor the most- both the cover and the original. Probably the weakest track on I Am A Wallet.
...Bourgeois Now, on the other hand, is covered beautifully by the Manics. And so is Red Sleeping Beauty. It was a hard decision

Red Sleeping Beauty is forever tarnished by the fact that I actually had to buy Autumnsong to get it.
