Readers recommend: songs about regrets

Ever had second thoughts? I can certainly think of many records I've regretted buying. Who knew that Pinky & Perky live at the Budokan would be such a stinker? This week we're looking for songs about regrets, that address the sinking feeling when you know you've made a mistake. It could be remorse about something small – or maybe about something more profound and life-changing. Post your suggestions below and we'll gather some of the best ones in a playlist published at guardian.co.uk/readersrecommend next Thursday. * Thanks to RR regular Abahachi for suggesting this week's topic.
