You've never heard it all the way through?
Quite deliberately not. I'm a delicate little flower sometimes.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That list is very late-20th-century American centric. What does it say that the three saddest songs I can think of are all early 20th century (or earlier) Irish? Danny Boy Grace A Pair of Brown Eyes (OK that one's from 1985 but still. It's f*ckin' sad. Oh wait, I forgot about The Green Fields of France
But the very saddest song ever is Australian And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Listening to Space Oddity thanks to ita's link. I had a Major Tom-like dream once, except I got to come back from my lonely (though not deadly) space exile to go to the drugstore.
Just a few days ago, my iPod (on shuffle) played "Space Oddity" and Peter Schilling's "Major Tom" back to back. I love both of those songs, but I think I love Bowie's sequel to "Space Oddity," "Ashes to Ashes" even more.
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low

Wait, is that Waltzing Matilda the Waltzing Matilda? Because as songs go of which I only know the chorus, that's a mindfuck and a half.

Completely unrelatedly, why are they going on about the length of her skirt? Haven't they noticed she has no breasts? Not even nipples?

That is a very plaintive couplet.
The original Matilda is the one about the Jolly Swagman down beside the Billabong.

Also in Lori's pictures you can see her holding Noah. Noah likes being held which is good.
My hands aren't that small or delicate. It's just in proprotion to my chubbiness, they look small.
Tomorrow is going to be a long ass day. which is sad. Shower then sleep.

The original Matilda's none too joyous either.
Other sad songs of mine--well, Prince can certainly sing up a good cry: Sometimes It Snows in April and others from Parade (Under The Cherry Moon, frex) qualify. Then there's 80s British Apoca-pop (Life In A Northern Town, Enola Gay--even when they weren't about the end of the world nuclear style, they still had similar melancholy).
