Great endings/outros

Not opposed to fade outs but I do love it when a song shifts into another gear (not the up a note key change!!)

Forest Fire by Lloyd Cole & the Commotions has to be up there

as well as Denim's romp through the 80's here

I was listening to If by the Bluetones this morning

One of my favourite "na na na na" outros of the mid to late 90s.

Interpol have this one nailed

PDA is the most obvious example, but Roland, The Lighthouse, Not Even Jail, Leif Erikson, The New, Stella... all having class outros

The favourite RHCP track

"Sir Psycho Sexy" has a good one.

Also "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac

- That Sir Psycho Sexy Outro
  
  is easily the best piece of music the Chili's have written...

New Order - The Perfect Kiss

The full 12" 8:50 version, not the <5 minute edit on most of their compilations, nor the slightly edited 8 minute version on the CD of Substance.
I feel incredibly geeky now, but proudly so.

Pixies - No. 13 Baby

Deerhunter - Desire Lines also, which kind of reminds me of the Pixies tunes.
The Smiths - Barbarism Begins At Home, The Queen Is Dead, Death Of A Disco Dancer
...and I've realised that most of New Order's singles from the 80s have great outros too. To quote Barney Sumner, "Notice all our songs finish with big endings. Big songs, small dicks."
