Songs that make you cry... (page 6)

Sad emo

Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel (?) - the one from Watership Down.

Nothing Compares to U - Sinead O'Connor

The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve

Anyway - Genesis

I Know what I like, and I like what I know

Marillion - Heading for the great escape

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday

Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away

Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload

Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light

Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you

You're holding on, you're holding on ...

Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk

So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?

UnConfused

Billy Joel's Vietnam song....

Goodnight Saigon

We met as soulmates
On Parris Inland
we left as inmates
from an asylum
and we were sharp
as sharp as knives
and we were so gung ho to lay down our lives.

We came in spastic
like tameless horses
we left in plastic
as numbered corpses
and we learned fast
to travel light
our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

we had no homefront
we had no soft soap
they sent us playboy
they gave us bob hope
we dug in deep
and shot on sight
and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.

We had no cameras
to shoot the landscape
we passed the hash pipe
and played our Doors tapes
and it was dark..
so dark at night
and we held onto each other
like brother to bother
we promised our mothers we'd write

(chorus)
and we would all go down together
we said we'd all go down together
yes we would all go down together.

THE VERVE....."Bitter Sweat Symphony"

Dude newboy you rock! Their tune "The Drugs Don't Work" should also please you. It's sad and tragic and real.

Edit: Sorry sad emo I didn't see your post till too late. I used to listen to this one on the way to the hall. Seriously!
