I read or heard the same interview Lonely Dreamer, about why he doesn't like to call them covers.

My personal choice would be "One More Kiss Dear"
From the Bladerunner soundtrack by Vangelis
Sung by Don Percival

Hedonistic Hipsters,
IWNSHO, this is a topic that can't be discussed enough and Teresa's recommendation is completely inspired. W2 loves this song and thinks it would be a perfect choice for hero to interpret.
Whilst on the subject, W2's life long love of 'Carrickfergus' makes him wish that our hero would explore more from the traditional folk world.
A few years ago he did a couple of sea chanteys for a compilation album and Windswept thought they had charm - particularly 'The Cruel Ship's Captain'.
OK, they have a deliberately rough hewn to them but this in itself is part of their charm.
More than this, there rests W2's long standing desire to see The Bonny Lad turn his hand to Richard Thompson's fabulous 'For Shame Of Doing Wrong' (for arrangement clue see Sandy Denny's take).
If ever a song was created for Ferry this is it. That said, he probably doesn't take requests and has his own list.
Windswept poursuit ses rêves.
Salutations,

W2

Oh yes
"The Cruel Ships' Captain" was very nice
