Lou Reed & Antony - Perfect Day (1972 / 2003)
I discovered the original song in Trainspotting and this cover by Lou Reed and Antony (from Antony & The Johnsons) in the album The Raven.
Apparently, Lou Reed forgot to play it during his set at the Isle of Wight festival in 2006, so he asked Coldplay to cover it.
