The Ballad Of Tom Jones - Space feat. Cerys Matthews

I recently rediscovered this track and cant for the life of me think why I ever forgot about it. The guys who bought you 'The Female Of The Species' and the girl from Catatonia (and the Australian jungle) got together in 1998 to write a love letter to Welsh crooner Tom Jones. The song tells the story of a couple who want to kill each other but have second thoughts after listening to Tom's back-catalogue. Seriously, i'm not making this up. Genius lyrics and that gloriuosly catchy 'Tom Jones, Tom Jones' bit make this well worth a listen.
