2. Tricky the Cosmonaut - self titled ("and I stand naked in your psychological courthouse all right")
3. Tori Amos - "Little Earthquakes" ("doesn't take much to rip us into pieces" - got me thru the Kent thing)
4. Fleetwood Mac - "The Dance" ("and if you don't love me now, you will never love me again. I can STILL hear you saying..." - can't believe this is '97, but OK)
5. Jane's Addiction - "Nothing Shocking" ("... you treat me like a rag doll")
6. Wedding Present - "Watusi" (oh that jangly guitar and "gazebo")
