Tomorrow, Wendy by Concrete Blonde

It is complete now - two ends of time
Are neatly tied
A one-way street, she’s walking to the
End of the line
And there she meets the faces she sees in
Her heart and mind

They say - goodbye - tomorrow wendy’s
Going to die
Underneath the chilly grey november sky
We can make believe
That kennedy is still alive
We’re shooting for the moon and smiling
Jackie’s driving by

They say - good try -
Tomorrow wendy’s going to die
I told the priest - don’t count on
Any second coming.
God got his ass kicked the first time he
Came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die
And then forgive us -
No, I don’t wonder why
I wonder what he thought
It would get us - hey hey, good try -
Tomorrow wendy’s going to die

Fade to Black - Metallica

Possibly the darkest, most depressing song ever written. A man stands in front of the mirror contemplating all the failures of his life, and mocking himself into committing suicide. "Yes, it's come to this. And wasn't it a long way down...Oh, wasn't it a strange way down?"

To sharpen the blow, Cohen adds a very light string section and a children's choir to the song.

Nothing sadder than knowing it's a song sung in 3rd person talking about ridding of himself.
