your most depressing songs

Cat Power-Names

His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father send him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old

Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of a bus
She was doing it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old

Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was a very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old

His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old

His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he begin to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don't know where he is
I don't know where they are

Ok I'm gonna go kill myself

Type O Negative: Everyone I Love is Dead.

Actually, I think Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" makes me sadder, but that might just be because it was Cash's last single. As far as other sad songs go....

Nirvana "All Apologies"
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"
The Tragically Hip "Ahead By A Century"
The Tragically Hip "Fiddler's Green"
Crash Test Dummies "Superman Song"
Beck "Lost Cause"

First track on the Eels' Electro-Shock Blues(actually, half the songs on the album will break you in two), Elizabeth on the bathroom floor, saddest song ever. Also, Dead of Winter off the same album.

Something in the way-Nirvana
Please,please,please, let me get what I want-The Smiths
Without You- Harry Nilsson
Mary Jane- Alanis (argh!)

I'll update this later, perhaps.Mind blank.

People who died - Jim Carroll Band (a song about all his junkie friends that died tragic deaths)
Crow - Jim Carroll Band
