It's puzzling at first to find someone who has nurtured such diverse musical talents doing a covers album.
But then you realise it makes perfect sense, and this track shows what he can do. Randy Newman is the best composer you've never heard of - an astonishingly prolific man. And in Peter Gabriel's hands this sad song becomes deep and dark. Don't listen to it more than twice a day. And seek out the rest of the album, Scratch My Back, for other melancholy.
