The album this is from (The Good Son) brings me to tears everytime I hear it.

So many Waits song to choose from, this probably takes the cake though.

She was 15 years old
And never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
Was, "I love you mom."
 

"Today I'm dirty
I want to to be pretty
Tomorrow I know, I'm just dirt
Today I'm dirty
I want to to be pretty
Tomorrow I know, I'm just dirt

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are"

I am astounded that one one mentioned gloomy sunday, also known as the hungarian scuicide song. It was illigal to play in hungry (or europe?) because so many people played the song when they commited scuiced/it was blamed for causeing the scuicides themselves.
 
No mention of Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely"? It's about time, then!

I personally like this song called "Flying Saucer" by Astronaut Wife.

http://grooveshark.com/s/Flying+Saucer/2LnoLl?src=5

Lyrics:

Hello my friend in the sky
Where did you go?
I miss you, do you miss me?
Nobody here believes a word I say
When will you come back and take me away?

Flying saucer in the sky
Where will you take me tonight?
Flying saucer in the sky
Where will you take me tonight?

On the planet you live, are you ever alone, is anyone?
Is there any such thing as loneliness?
Is anyone's life so meaningless?
You're the closest thing to a friend that I ever had
I wished you could understand

I feel like a stranger
I feel alone
I feel invisible
Not in a good way but in a bad way
I feel like a misfit, like I'm living another life
When you come back next time, don't leave me behind

 
1. Disconnect


[Dave Mustaine]

Behind closed doors all you live for is taking
That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking
Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter
Don't you hear people talking? What is it that your after?

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything's so real so you just - Disconnect

The key to save yourself if for nothing else
A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden
With a broken heart underneath all of the pain
Do you stroke the pretty scars? The hurt never ends

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything's so real so you just - Disconnect

[Solo - Mustaine]

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything's so real so you just - Disconnect

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything's so real so you just - Disconnect

[End Chorus Solos - Pitrelli / Percussion - Chris Vrenna]

Sums up how I feel.

IMHO, "Everybody Hurts" arguarbly tops off the list. How can it not do, eh?

My other suggestion is an instrumental song that I heard recently and instantly deemed it as the best tune I've heard in ages. It's an instrumental track by a band called Hammock entitled "This Kind Of Life Keeps Breaking Your Heart" and I used it recently in a mix of mine *if you want to listen to that mix you can find it on my www.soundcloud.com/stevefound2 - look for "Always Darkest Before Dawn" (mix title)

Here's a youtube link for that track:
