    2. Cops and Robbers — The Hoosiers

    If we catch a criminal
    When we catch a criminal
    There’s nothing we can do
    But play cops and robbers
    Cops and robbers

    3. Cemeteries of London — Coldplay

    At night they would go walking ‘till the breaking of the day,
    The morning is for sleeping…
    Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way,
    Save the nighttime for your weeping…
    Your weeping…

    Singing la lalalalala la lé…
    And the night over London, hey…

    4. John’s Theme

    5. Skeleton Song — Kate Nash

    Skeleton you are my friend
    But you are made of bone
    And you have got no flesh and blood
    Running through you to help protect the bone

    6. My Manic and I — Laura Marling

    And since last that we parted last that I saw him
    Down by a river silent and hardened,
    Morning was mocking us. Blood hit the sky.
    I was just happy, my manic and I.

    7. Squealing Pigs — Admiral Fallow

    It’s that sinking feeling of being alone
    And it’s the way it makes you screech
    And pulls the skin off your bones
    And I can’t help but think, as I pick my mouth off the floor;
    Will you still know me in a year?

    8. Bite Hard — Franz Ferdinand

    You don’t know
    I sing these songs,
    About you,
    You don’t know the pseudonyms,
    I assume
    You don’t know the pseudonyms,
    I assume,
    For you.

    9. Sherlock’s Theme

    10. Blood — Editors

    Blood runs through your veins, that’s where our similarity ends
    Blood runs through our veins.

    11. The World Is Full of Crashing Bores — Morrissey

    Policewomen policemen silly women taxmen
    Uniformed whores, Educated criminals, Work within the law
    This world is full, Oh oh, So full of crashing bores

    12. The Bones of You — Elbow

    And the sickener hits; I can work till I break
    but I love the bones of you
    That, I will never escape.

    13. Marry Me — St. Vincent

    But you you’re a rock with a heart like a socket I can plug into at will
    And will you guess when I come around next
    I hope your open sign is blinking still

    So Marry me, John
    Marry me, John I’ll be so good to you
    You won’t realize I’m gone
    You won’t realize I’m gone

    14. Praise You — Fatboy Slim

    We’ve come a long long way together,
    Through the hard times and the good,
    I have to celebrate you baby,
    I have to praise you like I should

    15. Tick Tick Boom — The Hives

    ‘Cause I have done it before and I can do it some more
    I got my eye on the score
    I’m gonna cut to the core
    It’s too late it’s too soon or is it?
    Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, BOOM.

    16. Heroes — David Bowie

    I
    I can remember
    Standing
    By the wall
    And the guns
    Shot above our heads
    And we kissed
    As though nothing could fall
    And the shame
    Was on the other side
    Oh we can beat them
    For ever and ever
    Then we can be Heroes
    Just for one day

    17. Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes — The Spirits of Rhythm

    Now gangway for that famous sleuth
    Must be Sherlock, that’s the truth
    “Elementary, Doctor Watson.”
    “You’re amazing, Mr. Holmes.”
