Actually, I may have just found the perfect combo:
Life on Mars (duh!) & Kooks.
Life on Mars needs no explaining, and Kooks... well, parts of the lyrics are kind of perfect for the part of the story the song's going to appear in - namely, the morning after the day when Sam has come back from a year's stay in a mental hospital for believing he caused WW3, and just a little while before Annie kinda sorta "inspires" him to believe he's just dreaming again. The song's kind of like her pleading with him to "stay".
And, well, you know, "Kooks"... it also fits their mutual pact of semi-make-believe insanity. (Sam and Annie in my story is kind of... complicated, and not very healthy.)
I was going to suggest Kooks anyway (based on stuff we've said before, but also because I thought it just fitted at the time), but I couldn't decide whether to go with the preceeding song or the following. But yes, both those sound like a good choice to me c:
I'll still stick the CD on and have a listen though.
I think Kooks was the last song on that side of the record. As I need two consecutive songs on the same side of the record, it will have to be Life on Mars.
