I'd have to say Eleanor Rigby. So dark, and yet, so true.



I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' b**** for you
Keep your mouth shut,
you're squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting up my brains for the words

There are sad songs: Eleanor Rigby, For No One, She's Leaving Home; and songs that appear to be dark, but are not: Blue Jay Way. So I was about to say that there are no real dark songs. And then I remembered:

HELP!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I think  " Eleanor Rigby " is a dark song , lonelyness is a dark place to be BlueMeanie ?
Yes it's  sad but the imagery in the lyric is dark .
Poor Eleanor is not having a buddle of laughs , she's crippled by lonlyness , she's trapped in that dream .
I always think she's like one of the characters in a Dicken's novel , a witherd grotessque like Mrs Haversham in Great Expectations ?

Quoted from DaveRam
Maxwells Silver Hammer is a dark song with dark humour  


Yup! It never was a song I would listen to.  But I have been trying to really listen to all the songs now and I have found that ones I had decided that I didn't care for before, I now like.  This is one of them.  And it is very sinister!

REVOLUTION #9

How did no one pick that?
That song scares the mess out of me, especially in the dark, late at night.
haha

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me."
