Rev is correct.

"Elephant" uses almost all of the same cord changes as "Creep" there was even a video of him playing them as a medley and about the only thing that changed was his melody and the speed at which they're each played. "Insane" doesn't have any of them in common.

Some have also accused Damo of the ol' Everclear/Cypress Hill plagiarizing oneself trick with "Cold Water" and "Sleep, Don't Weep" but they're fascinatingly dis-similar in a number of nuanced ways (very apparent when played simultaneously.

And yes, op, "Baby Sister" is quite blatently a direct steal of FBR. Never one to hide his love of Cohen, Damo played it on KCRW when he was guest DJing once and described it as one of his all-time favorite songs.
