Songs with the same title but different - not covers!

I would've put good money on Lana having a song called "America" but turns out she only has one called "American", so I don't think that counts.
 
Inspired by the 2002 AOTY thread, have been listening to Ladytron's album Light & Magic, which is great, and has songs called both Seventeen and Blue Jeans. I suppose that this means Ladytron are the missing link between the Sex Pistols and Lana Del Rey. (Or, if you prefer, that Lana Del Rey is the missing link between Ladytron and Millions of Dead Cops.)
As well as sharing song titles with Ladytron and Millions of Dead Cops, Lana also has a song called Heroin:

Which isn't a cover of the Velvet Underground song:

Sure other people have probably used that title as well.
Heroin appears on her album Lust for Life, which also has an eponymous song, but that one doesn't count because I'm pretty sure no-one else has ever had a song called Lust for Life.
 
Turns out there's proper loads of heartbeats - Wire, Allo Darlin', Dum Dum Girls, Cloud Nothings and Big Boys for a start:





Although I mostly know the Wire Heartbeat from the Big Black cover, which is a cover and so doesn't belong on this thread.
 
Heaven is a place where you can always think of an original song title:



And of course:


First one that comes to mind:



It's funny, when I was a kid the Psychedelic Furs looked incredibly mysterious. I now realise they're not, of course, but I still know FA about them really. Pretty in Pink (good song and everything) killed the mystery and also made me not inclined to investigate them further.
