    I know Juan Gabriel wrote it, but Rocio Durcal sings it very well

    About 99% of Townse Van Zandt's songs are depressing.

    Good call on Mayonnaise but personally I never knew what the hell that song was about. I don't think Corgan did either. Or maybe it was Geek USA he was talking about. I forget. The parts of Mayonnaise I do understand do seem sad though.

    Radiohead has a few.

    These two songs bring tear to my eyes, when I'm really feeling down.
    "We suck young blood"
    and
    "Sail to the Moon"

    Final Cut by Pink Floyd

    Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
    I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    And far from flying high in clear blue skies
    I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

    If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
    And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
    And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
    Dial the combination, open the priesthole
    And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall

    There's a kid who had a big hallucination
    Making love to girls in magazines
    He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
    Could anybody love him
    or is it just a crazy dream

    And if I show you my dark side
    Will you still hold me tonight
    And if I open my heart to you
    and show you my weak side
    What would you do
    Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone
    Would you take the children away
    And leave me alone
    And smile in reassurance
    as you whisper down the phone
    Would you send me packing
    Or would you take me home

    Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
    Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
    I held the blade in trembling hands
    Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
    I never had the nerve to make the final cut

    Waters sounds like he's holding back tears in the song.

    Seether: Got it made
    NIN: Hurt cover
