The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. I actually like Johnny Cash's cover best, but you would have to be almost entirely comatose to smooch to it. Here's Roberta Flack. A great love song.

Top track (whole album is really good) but I'd struggle to get lovey dovey with that pounding away.

It isn't exactly a love song, it a life song.

I think the first time I realised quite how utterly gorgeous this song is was when I saw the Beautiful South at Sheffield Arena in 1994. The rest of the band took a break while Paul Heaton performed it solo a cappella. Truly mesmerising...

It's funny that Billy Bragg is generally known for his political songs, but he's definitely at his best when writing about relationships. This is my personal favourite...

We had a registry office wedding, so none of that walking down the aisle nonsense, but we had Bryan Ferry's version to fill the silence while we did the signing the register bit...

I've always seen him as not just a political writer.
