I only have 1 song to ad:
__________________The Living Dead- Suede. That tune makes me tear every time I hear it. Fucking junkies. Where's all the money gone? I'm talking to you All up the hole in your arm Is the needle a much better screw? But oh what will you do alone? 'Cos I have to go. Where is this life of fun that you promised me? Nothing here works but your works and I mean it I have to leave But oh what will you do alone? 'Cos I have to go. If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead boy? You're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead Could have had a car, could have had it all, Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall. I know where the money's gone-- I know what you do 'Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and The needle's a much better screw But oh, what will you do alone? 'Cos I have to go.

![]() I think it's important we don't confuse 'melancholic' with 'melodic', though. For instance, I would consider Green Day's Time Of Your Life melodic, not melancholic. ![]() Anyway, here goes... 1. The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin 2. Hey You - Pink Floyd 3. Wasted Time - Eagles 4. Everybody Hurts - REM 5. Only When I Lose Myself - Depeche Mode 6. Low Man's Lyric - Metallica 7. One (live w/ strings) - U2 8. Street Spirit (fade out) - Radiohead 9. When You're Gone - The Cranberries 10. They Dance Alone - Sting 11. Love Hurts - Nazareth 12. The Final Cut - Pink Floyd *really the whole album* 13. She's Leaving Home - The Beatles 14. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles 15. Into The Great Wide Open - Tom Petty 16. The End - The Doors 17. Jerry Was There - Kula Shaker 18. Run Baby Run - Sheryl Crow 19. Yesterday - The Beatles 20. Wake Up Dead Man - U2 |
