Literature 101

Five songs that were influenced by books

1. Boo Radleys – Wake Up, Boo (remember To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee?)
2. Babyshambles – La Belle et La Bete (well, this is obvious)
3. Manic Street Preachers – Patrick Bateman (b-side to their single Life Becoming A Landslide, based on Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho)
4. The Cure – Killing An Arab (pretty much fanboying Albert Camus' L’etranger)
5. Pete Doherty - Salome (because Doherty is one of the last Wilde-like stars)
