Hit me with some. I'm looking for songs about literary works/inspired by literary works or literary figures. Preferably streamable, but I'll make an exception to my usual uptight policy of only tagging streamable stuff, as I wouldn't mind having them as a reference list. So far I've got:
Wuthering Heights
Sun in My Mouth
Bernice Bobs Her Hair
Lucy
A Woman of the World
Three Sisters
White Rabbit
1984
Diamond Dogs
A Rose for Emily
Colony
Killing An Arab
Cloudbusting
Avalon
Calypso
Houses in Motion
California
Fool on the Hill
I Am the Walrus
The Crying of Lot G
Riki Tiki Tavi
La Chanson de Prevert (only because the original Gainsbourg song isn't streamable)
Pauvre Lola
Angela Carter
Sympathy For The Devil
Albums:
Histoire De Melody Nelson
Hmm I'm not sure what The Raven is like, so I've just tentatively tagged the title track.
Some of these I found thanks to the Songs Inspired By Literature database. You can look up the works the songs are based on there.
