Here She Comes Now by The Velvet Underground. Great song, but short at only 2:04.

Allison by the Pixies. Two and a half verses, three choruses, a bridge, and a guitar solo, all in 1:18. This is probably the one song I’ve hit repeat on the most times.
Most of the stuff on J J Cale’s Really.
The song “Pizza Boy” by the band Go.
Her Majesty

Original Luke was a careless man
Heart as hard as the Grand Coulee dam
