    Many songs by Mark Lanegan, this being just one example:

    When Your Number Isn't Up

    Did you call for the night porter?
    You smell the blood running warm
    I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone
    Now something crawls right up my spine
    That I always got to follow
    Turn out the lights
    Don't see me drawn and hollow
    Just blood running warm
    No one needs to tell you that
    There's no use for ya here anymore
    And where are your friends?
    They've gone away
    It's a different world, they left you to this
    To janitor
    The emptiness
    So let's get it on
    When the sun is finally going down, and you're overdue to follow
    But you're still above the ground
    What ya got comin' is hard to swallow
    Like blood running warm
    Did they call for the night porter
    And smell the blood, blood running warm
    Well I've been waitin at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone
    You have to hear the music and especially his voice to get the full effect. I have never heard anyone evoke such pain and suffering so vividly in his music. Probably because he has lived the things he sings about (coping with and recovering from heroin addiction).

        Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?

        Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?
        Did it make you feel like cryin'
        Or did you think it was kinda gay?
        Well I, for one, believe in the ladder to heaven.
        Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...9/11.
        I said 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Ni-hi, hi-hine...
        ...Eleven

                Prince - Sometimes it Snows In April

                Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
                just after I'd wiped away his last tear
                I guess he's better off than he was before,
                A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
                I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because he was my only friend
                Those kind of cars don't pass u every day
                I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because I wanted to see him again,
                But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...

                Sometimes it snows in April
                Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
                Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
                and all good things, they say, never last

                Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
                A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain
                Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
                Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain
                He used 2 say so strong unafraid to die
                Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
                No, staring at his picture I realized
                No one could cry the way my Tracy cried

                Sometimes it snows in April
                Sometimes I feel so bad
                Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
                And all good things, they say, never last

                I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
                I know that he has found another friend
                Maybe he's found the answer 2 all the April snow
                Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

                Sometimes it snows in April
                Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
                Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
                But all good things, they say, never last

                All good things that say, never last
                And love, it isn't love until it's past

                        Phil Collins - Against All Odds

                        How can i just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
                        When i stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
                        You're the only one who really knew me at all

                        How can you just walk away from me,
                        When all i can do is watch you leave
                        Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
                        You're the only one who really knew me at all

                        So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
                        And there's nothing left here to remind me,
                        Just the memory of your face
                        Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
                        And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what i've got to face

                        I wish i could just make you turn around,
                        Turn around and see me cry
                        There's so much i need to say to you,
                        So many reasons why
                        You're the only one who really knew me at all

                        So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
                        And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
                        Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

                        But to wait for you, is all i can do and that's what i've got to face
                        Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
                        And you coming back to me is against all odds
                        It's the chance i've gotta take

                        Take a look at me now
