I am a deeply disturbed individual.

[oneno]

Eno's new one, Bone Bomb is about suicide bombers.
Queen-Death on two legs
Frank Zappa-I'm so cute ,from sheik yerboutee
Cheap Trick has a couple-Auf Wiedersehen ,Heaven tonight
The Police-Can't stand losing you
Not suicide but dark nontheless
How bout the Boomtown Rats-I don't like mondays

[Sean]

HEUTE IST EIN GUTER TAG by Near Dark

This song freak me out when I found out it meant "Today is a good day to die".

[waukena]

Lou Reed - Heroin

[scramjet]

For the talking someone off the ledge angle, how about R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts?

The M*A*S*H theme?

U2 - A Day Without Me

"Suicide is Painless"? Yeah, I guess so.

[popreactor]

Here are my suggestions:

Ultravox "Viena"
Joy Division "Atmosphere"
The Associates "Breakfast"

and this
David Sylvian "Orpheus"

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
There's a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing
Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
Just you the weather and I gave up hope
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
Still the voices have stories to tell
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring...

[My Aural Stimulator]

How about anything by Celine Dion? Her songs always make me want to end someone's life.

[Dave]

And the obvious entry from Jim Carroll???

Those are people who died, died!

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
And I salute you my brother

[firefall]

Boomtown Rats-Living in an island
David Kubinec-At the edge of the floor
Zounds-Did he jump
Big in Japan-Suicide a go-go
20/20-The night i heard a scream
Enoughe with the macabre...

[getyourbootson]

OK, there is a song that I am thinking of, but I don't know the title, nor who sings it, but if I can remember correctly, it's from an old punk movie I think, hehe. Sid and Nancy, Dogs in Space or Suburbia, one of those. I know big help, but anyway...... the lyrics go "I've been contemplating suicide.."

Now it's buggin' me. I'm gonna go look it up.

OK, confirmed that it's from Dogs in Space. Several people did it, but the one I remember is by Boys Next Door on the Dogs in Space Soundtrack. I'm trying to download it right now. ;o)

[Otters Walk Among Us]

I'd suggest

The Replacements - The Ledge
Husker Du - Too Far Down

a couple of happy tunes right there.

[egg-roger]

Thanks a lot everyone! I'll have enough "mood music" to last a lifetime, or at least the last of the lifetime.

[firefall]

Is ''Shivers''the song you talk about,getyourbootson? Great one.

[bpdp3]

"bobby", last song on Jerry Harrison's Casual Gods album...

[egg-roger]

In addition to Joy Division I could use Plasmatics, Badfinger and Big Country as each had members who offed themselves.

Certainly Suicidal Tendencies would be appropriate, and I always liked Love & Rockets "If There's A Heaven Above" . . . . "throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Egg"

And I mustn't forget Gilbert O'Sullivan "Alone Again, Naturally".
