Novel is correct. As you may be aware, January to April are when I most submerge myself in writing entirely new novels. I'm about 12,000 words into a new mystery thriller (just started chapter four).

As for the songs in question:

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - 80

The Beatles - 75 (I like the lyrics, but this isn't one of my favourite Beatles tracks)

Bruce Springsteen - 90 (although despite the line you highlight, I think that's a rather tenuous link to your theme)
