Try these-
Love Will Tear Us Apart/She's Lost Control by Joy Division. The first one is about love gone bad, the second about a girl having an epileptic seizure and eventually dying.
Depeche Mode- Blasphemous Rumours/Flies On the Windscreen. One song about a girl attempting suicide, surviving, discovering Jesus then being hit by a car and dying on a summers day, then another song about how we can die at any moment.
Depeche Mode- Precious. About divorce.
Johnny Cash- Hurt
The Smiths- Girlfriend In A Coma. Self explanatory.
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'- Erasure
Level 42- Leaving Me Now. Self explanatory.
New Order- Blue Monday. Suppposedly a song about drug and child abuse.
Sheryl Crow- Diamond Road. About breaking up.
Everyday I Love You Less And Less- the Kaiser Chiefs
Joy Division- Atmosphere.
And this is just what I have on my MP3 player......!

Have you checked out Janis Ian? She did "At Seventeen" and some other really sad songs, including "Belle of the Blues".
"I Wish it Would Rain" -- The Temptations
"Romeo and Juliet" - Dire Straits
"Free Fallin'" - Tom Petty (more depressing in the context of substance abuse)
"River" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" -- Joni Mitchell
.... for starters.

Suicide by Barclay James Harvest deserves to be on this list,about a bloke goin to a club, gets the elevator to the roof,climbs over the guard rail, people below notice him and you hear one bloke shout out "dont jump , let me move my car", then he jumps and the group used a new recording technique and kicked it off the roof and you can here the air rush by and then ---------
Worth a go is Heroin by the Velvet Underground or Lou Reeds live version on Rock N Roll Animal---- awesome, if you like that sort of thing.

"Gloomy Sunday" by Billy Holiday. Just don't think about her life while you listen to it. Or - on a different note - you could the "The Present" by The Velvet Underground (Lou Reed) - hope it's not a true story! BE HAPPY.
