I am talking about the most depressing song you have ever heard.  I got a few:

1. When The Tigers Broke Free - Pink Floyd (An Autobigraphical song of Roger Water's Father's death)   If you have never heard it, it will make you cry, I did.

It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

(his dad really died from a Shtuka Dive-Bomber's attack)

   2.  Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins

   3.  Cat Stevens - Cats In The Cradle (my dad was like this for the better part of my childhood)

the one that goes....

Last kiss
Pearl Jam
Where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
Shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddys car
We hadnt driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldnt stop, so I swerved to the right
Ill never forget the sound that night
The screamin tires, the bustin glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
Shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up the rain was pourin down
There were people standin all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed

Well now shes gone
Even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
Shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

meteora: pearl jam didn't write that song...they sang it as a joke at a concert and people actually liked it

Saddest song by far is Waltzing Matilda by Tom Waits

Most of you may not get the references...I know I had to look up alot of stuff whenever I listen to his stuff...This is the only song that ever made me cry

"Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
Got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you?
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything's broken
And my Stacy's are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows
Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy
The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No primadonna, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight to Matilda too"

Nobody ever suspects the fun police!

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at East side`s health and childrens centre
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with prescription drugs and that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit life and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

remember we were driving driving in your car
speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still dont have a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

remember we were driving driving in your car
speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

remember we were driving driving in your car
speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

It's not the same song at all

He just took the phrase "You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"

He took it on a more depressing side of drinking

Nobody ever suspects the fun police!

American Pie by Don Mclean.

I believe it was about the death of Buddy Hollie. It's an extremely powerful song.

November Rain by GNR

Don't Cry by GNR

I can't find the lyrics but The living years - Mike and the mechanics    It's about a guy who had a bad relationship with his father growing up and he intends to set things straight and rectify their relationship but keeps on putting it off until he hears that his father died  its purdah sad.    and Cat's in the Cradle has made me cry before uhhh   Oh yeah Hear you me - Jimmy Eat World 

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

Hades wrote: Well since she took her own life, most people believe that the Pearly Gates are closed for her.

Thats not really true. Not trying to start any kinda of debate, its just that I cant stand to hear people say that. According to scriptures, all sins, past present and future are covered for those who are truly saved. So taking your life would not send you to hell. Well thats just something I had to throw in real quick.

Johnny's Daddy was taking him fishing

When he was eight years old

A little girl came through the front gate

Holding a fishing pole

His Dad looked down and smiled

Said "we can't leave her behind"

Son I know you don't want her to go

But someday you'll change your mind

And Johnny said

Take Jimmy Johnson

Take Tommy Thompson

Take my best friend Bo

Take anybody that you want as

Long as she don't go

Take any boy in the world

Daddy please - don't take the girl

Same old boy same sweet girl

Ten years down the road

He held her tight and kissed her lips

In front of the picture show

Stranger came and pulled a gun

Grabbed her by the arm

Said "if you do what I tell you to do

There won't be any harm"

And Johnny said

Take my money

Take my wallet

Take my credit cards

Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me

Here's the key to my car

Mister give it a whirl

But please - don't take the girl

Same old boy same sweet girl

Five years down the road

There's gonna be a little one

And she says it's time to go

Doctor says the baby's fine

But you'll have to leave

Cause his momma's fading fast

And Johnny hit his knees

And there he prayed

Take the very breath you gave me

Take the heart from my chest

I'll gladly take her place

If you'll let me

Make this my last request

Take me out of this world

God please - don't take the girl
