smrk4 scores 8 points. This is a respectable score one can’t really complain about but I understand if he was hoping for more.

The Pogues – Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six
I’m not sure how Walrus rules work, I wanted this to tie with 3rd so you could both share the podium, but by the slimmest margin I chose the next entry over this. What can I say, the first half of the song is very poignant, makes me think of Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms. Beautiful. The second half picks up the pace and the ire, wrecking the justice system that put these innocent men in jail. The submitter highlighted these lyrics:
A curse on the judges, the coppers and screws
Who tortured the innocent, wrongly accused
For the price of promotion
And justice to sell
May the judged by their judges when they rot down in hell
For those who haven’t seen In The Name of The Father with Daniel Day Lewis, it’s about the the Guildford Four, who were also wrongly convicted and released after 15 years in prison. 94% on Rotten Tomatoes I think, worth your time.

4/4 podiums? We have truly entered a new era of Walrus.

The hosts are obviously all scared of the ban-happy mod. I will accept no other explanation.

Maybe in the other categories. 
This one was my strongest submission out of all my entries, imho.

Sorry I was in a client meeting until now. This was mine. The part at 2:50 is my favorite bit and why I submitted the song. It’s like the guitar is screaming. I love it!

Sorry I wanted to make their mustaches sparkle bronze, silver and gold but just ran out of time. Maybe next time?

I’ll be the judge of that.
Edit: I am being told I will NOT be the judge of that. It’s still smrk4.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945
Love the tempo throughout, and the lyrics are touching and masterful at times (worthy of the poetry category imo), ending with:
And it’s so sad to see the world agree
That they’d rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I’d want to keep white roses in their eyes
Definitely a band and song I didn’t know, so I’m grateful to have been introduced to them. Maybe hints of Death Cab in his voice? A worthy third.

Still hunting for that first W! I’ll take 3rd though.

I’m not bitter, but I will state that I considered The Pogues (a different track), and I considered that Neutral Milk Hotel one.
Well, I am bitter, it’s just there’s clearly no one at fault apart from myself.
