Think (for a minute) by Housemartins is also very melancholic. I love that song.

I put on Alison Moyet's "Alf", just about every track fits the mold.

Erasure's later songs, e.g. rock me gently, stay with me, i love saturday, fingers and thumbs, in my arms (eh, not sure if that's the song title).

I remember just lying down on the cold hard floor listening to these songs for hours on end.

"Sometimes" by erasure.. would fit in this list perfectly.
Also "Kayleigh" by Marillion (I love that song though it makes me feel miserable).

"Rainy Season" by Howard Devoto. One of my all-time favorite songs!
