Gomez – Rosalita Lyrics 18 years ago
I love the shift from being strong and determined to get over Rosalita ("my little conceit you see is that I will not need you more than now") to the desperation in the last verse ("I could not need you more than now")

Tom Waits – Invitation to the Blues Lyrics 18 years ago
"He probably left her for a socialite, and he didn't love her 'cept at night,
And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared"

Always brings a lump to my throat...

Sleater-Kinney – Little Babies Lyrics 19 years ago
These are two songs being sung here. The lyrics above only have the mother-figure; there's also someone talking dirty inbetween each line in the verses.

I think it's about men wanting women to be two different things in one - a caring mother and a horny lover. Those men are the little babies :-)
