What songs absolutely make you feel like crap inside, yet you feel strangely drawn toward?

It's 1:00AM and I'm working on homework. I just encountered a travelogue from an ex-girlfriend and an ex-best friend, and the usual winter blues are coming close to setting in. Consequently, rather than sleeping (as I should be), I'm listening to depressing music. Here's my choice:

Sarah McLachlan - Hold On, Acoustic Version.

Don't ask me why. It's probably because it's late; I'm more prone to fits of irrationality then. Regardless, that's my musical choice. What's yours? I'm not talking about anger-inducing music or some tunes that help that rage out; I'm really just wondering about that song that, whether you like to admit it or not, takes your guts and twists them, wrenches them, and spits them out. Then, when it's done, you hit replay. Know what I mean?

No, I'm not depressed. Nope, I'm not writing this as YAGT. I've got a beautiful girl and am a happy person. Regardless, sometimes I hear a lyric, a piano note, and something just kicks in.

Hold on, hold on to yourself, this is gonna hurt like hell.

Billy Idol - "Eyes without a face"

Starts out...

"I'm all out of hope, one more bad dream could bring a fall."

I Touch Myself by The Divinyls.

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feeling down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one who makes me come honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I´d do anything for you
I don´t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don´t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah

;)

edit: The lyrics really aren't that bad when you ignore the touching of one's genitals.

So you feel crapy when you touch yourself?

My Dying Bride & Sentenced. The last mainly if I start listening to the lyrics when I'm already depressed.

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss really makes me depressed, and most of the time i try to steer away from that song on my playlist, except every once in a while... :(
