I think the theme might be to do with the 5 senses and the last song title has senses in it?
I can't think what they are though!

The only one jumping out at me at the moment is the Nirvana one.

You are certainly along the right lines.

Correct.

I think the link is that the song titles all have one sense in it - XTC's doesn't but refers to the 5 senses

Spot on. Well done.

Has anyone any idea about 2, 3 and 5 or should I put you out of your misery?
