The Smiths/Tear Jerker

This British alternative rock band has some pretty depressing songs.

Probably the biggest Smiths tearjerker ("I Know Its Over" aside) is the surprisingly uplifting and bittersweet "Reel Around The Fountain".
"Unhappy Birthday". Although, others might find it to be more humorous than anything else.

And you say no
You don't have to feel this way
And I sing no
I'm gonna kill my...dog
May the line sag
May the line sag heavy and deep tonight...

However, "I Know It's Over" and "Asleep" are Grade-A tearjerkers.
Nothing can get the depression rolling in like "Everyday is Like Sunday" for some people.
- Also in Morrissey's solo work, two notable tracks are "Late Night, Maudlin Street" and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday".
Others can include "Still Ill" and "Reel Around the Fountain"
One might love to go... "Back To The Old House".
- The acoustic version on Hatful of Hollow is particularly heartbreaking.
"There is a Light That Never Goes Out" takes the cake as well.
And then there are "Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want", "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me", and "Suffer Little Children".
- As well as "Hand In Glove", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", "Well I Wonder", and "Half A Person".
