Been well over a decade (possibly two!) since I've seen it, so could be wrong and god knows how I've remembered it if I'm right, but isn't 99 red balloons in that?

You know what, I was sat last night thinking the list of songs on the soundtrack was good, but not quite as good as I remembered. Maybe I was just impressed at an american film including The Clash, The Specials and The Beat.

Then I thought 'hang on, there was definitely a Cure track and an Echo & The Bunnymen track in the film'

So I've looked deeper.

Here is a fuller listing

  1. "Blister in the Sun" - Violent Femmes (2:08)

  4. "Under Pressure" - David Bowie and Queen (4:03)
  5. "I Can See Clearly Now" - Johnny Nash (2:46)
  6. "Live and Let Die" - Guns N' Roses (3:02)
  7. "We Care a Lot" - Faith No More (4:03)
  8. "Pressure Drop" - The Specials (4:18)
  9. "Absolute Beginners" - The Jam (2:50)
  10. "Armagideon Time" - The Clash (3:53)
  11. "Matador" - Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (4:34)
  12. "Let My Love Open the Door (E. Cola Mix)" - Pete Townshend (4:58)
  13. "A Message to You, Rudy" - The Specials (2:53)
  14. "Cities in Dust" - Siouxsie and the Banshees (3:49)
  15. "The Killing Moon" - Echo & the Bunnymen (5:44)
  16. "Monkey Gone to Heaven" - Pixies (2:56)
  17. "Lorca's Novena" - The Pogues (4:35)
