Simple Together - Alanis Morssette You've been my golden best friend Now with post-demise at hand I can't go to you for consolation Cause we're off limits during this transition This grief overwhelms me It burns in my stomach And I can't stop on bumping into things I thought we'd be simple together I thought we'd be happy together I thought we'd be limitless together I thought we'd be precious together But I was sadly mistaken You've been my soul mate and then some I remembered you the moment I met you With you I knew god's face was handsome With you I saw fun and expansion This loss is numbing me It pierces my chest And I can't stop dropping everything I thought we'd be sexy together I thought we'd be evolving together I thought we'd have children together I thought we'd be family together But I was sadly mistaken If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air My wealth would render this no less severe I thought we'd be genius together I thought we'd be healing together I thought we'd be growing together I thought we'd be adventurous together But I was sadly mistaken I thought we'd be exploring together I thought we'd be inspired together I thought we'd be flying together I thought we'd be on fire together But I was sadly mistaken B
Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave 'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho Just take a look at me now
Or you can go to this site which has the Alanis Morissette Random Lyric Generator to write your own Alanis Morissette sad song...... http://www.brunching.com/alanislyrics.html Here is one I made about the Utah Jazz: "I Think" I Think floppers are really a huge problem I Think whiners are too much on my mind I Think elbows have got a lot to do with why the world sucks But what can you do? Like a Rocket Red rain, beating down on me Like a George Clinton line, which won't let go of my brain Like Jennifer Lopez's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz I Think short shorts are gonna drive us all crazy And fouls make me feel like a child I Think losers will eventually be the downfall of civilization But what can you do? I said what can you do? Like a Rocket Red rain, beating down on me Like a George Clinton line, which won't let go of my brain Like Jennifer Lopez's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz Like a Rocket Red rain, beating down on me Like Jennifer Lopez's smile, cruel and cold Like George Clinton's ass, it is in my head Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz Blame it on Utah Jazz
Awesome site! Here's my ode to the bane of my existence --- cat pee. "Why" Puddles, kitty litter, cats Why God, Why? Kitty litter, odors, cat pee Why God, Why? What have I done to deserve this Green horror? Surrounded on all sides with the Hell of cat pee Like a Walt Whitman character, I'm wordy and alone Why God, Why? Water, puddles, paper towels Why God, Why? Cat pee, paper towels, cats Why God, Why? What have I done to deserve this Green disaster that is my life? Surrounded on all sides with the Hell of cat pee Like a Walt Whitman character, I'm wordy and alone Why God, Why? What have I done to deserve this Green misery? Surrounded on all sides with the Hell of cat pee Like a Walt Whitman character, I'm wordy and alone Why God, Why? Why God, Why? Why God, Why? Why God, Why? Why God, Why?
John Lennon - Mother Mother, you had me but I never had you, I wanted you but you didn't want me, So I got to tell you, Goodbye, goodbye. Father, you left me but I never left you, I needed you but you didn't need me, So I got to tell you, Goodbye, goodbye. Children, don't do what I have done, I couldn't walk and I tried to run, So I got to tell you, Goodbye, goodbye. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home. Mama don't go, Daddy come home... or... John Lennon - My Mummy's Dead My mummy's dead, I can't get it through my head, Though it's been so many years, My mummy's dead, It's hard to explain, So much pain, I could never show it, My mummy's dead.
Here are some that come to mind: PM Dawn "To Love Me More" from 1993. Prince "Purple Rain" from 1984 and "Pop Life" from 1987. Another sad one is George Michael's "One More Try" which was released on the Faith album. Someone was asking about a sad hip hop song, "Song Cry" by Jay-Z from 2001. A nice and sad classical piece would be Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings". That was composed in 1936.
Towne Van Zandt's "Marie." Willie does a cover that's damn hard to listen to. I'll also nominate two songs that I don't have lyrics for - Ted Hawkins' "Sorry Your Sick" and "The Lost Ones." If you like somewhat obscure blues artists, give Hawkins a try. Marie by Townes Van Zandt I stood in line and left my name took about six hours or so Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game said they'd let me know I put in my time till the Pocono line shut down two years ago I was staying at the mission till I met Marie now I can't stay there no more Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man to move some old cars around maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out van and do a little settlin' down Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride and the junkyard's a pretty good ways that job's about a half week old besides it'd be gone now anyway Unemployment said I got no more checks and they showed me to the hall my brother died in Georgia some time ago I got no one left to call Summer wasn't bad below the bridge a little short on food that's all Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat we're headed down into fall I used to play the mouth harp pretty good hustled up a little dough but I got drunk and I woke up rolled a couple of months ago they got my harp and they got my dollar them low life so and so's harps cost money and I ain't got it it's my own fault I suppose The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin' two freights everyday if it was just me I'd be headed south but Marie can't catch no train She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby, says we gotta wait and see in my heart I know it's a little boy hope he don't end up like me Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file I gotta stand in line again I want to kill him but I just say no I had enough of that line my friend I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold I'm feelin' too low down to lie I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth hope she don't break down and cry Marie she didn't wake up this morning she didn't even try she just rolled over and went to heaven my little boy safe inside I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them caught a Chesapeak on the fly Marie will know I'm headed south so's to meet me by and by Marie will know I'm headed south so to meet me by and by

You want sad songs? Listen to Lou Reed's album "Berlin". A great album and very sad indeed. The last song on it is titled "Sad Song".
Beatles - Yesterday, While My Guitar Gently Weeps Ben Harper - Waiting on an Angel, The Drugs Don't Work DMB - Bartender, Love of My Life(Just sounds really sad...With Carlos Santanna) Billy Joel - Piano Man Bob Dylan - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue U2 - With or Without You
Pretty much every song on Adore by the Pumpkins has a sad feeling to them. "To Sheila" and "For Martha" are my two favorite songs on that album...
