(Note: Torn was originally written by Scott Cutler and Anne Preven in 1991, performed live by their band Ednaswap but never recorded, finally recorded by Lis Sørensen in 1993 and again by Trine Rein in 1996; however, the entry for this tournament is Natalie Imbruglia's 1997 version.)
(Note 2: a shortened edit of Common People is used in the music video; here is the full length version - audio only!)
Listen to both songs before voting, and define "better" any way you wish!

VIRGINIA TURBETT
documentation of the chaotic emergence of British subculture in the 70s
Virginia Turbett photographed punks, rockers, mods, skinnies and New Romantics.
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs and the flesh machine
He's gonna do another striptease
Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
Something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film, drive a GTO
Wear a uniform, all on a government loan
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With the liquor and drugs
With the liquor and drugs
Well, I am just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)
'Cause of a lust for life
I got a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Oh, lust for life
Oh, lust for life
A lust for life
I got a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Well, I am just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life
Well, here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs, and the flesh machine
I know he's gonna do another striptease
Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
About something called love
Oh, love, love, love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens
Well, I am just a modern guy
Of course, I've heard it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life)
I got a lust for life
Yeah, lust for life
I got a lust for life
Oh, lust for life
I got a lust for life
Yeah, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
A lust for life (lust for life)
Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
