Songs about car accidents

Eminem - Stan

 

Also covered by Tom Waits

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Steve's own compilation, The Best of Tragedy, on DCC, DZS-078, which includes a number of these songs, including Last Kiss.

 

Elvis Costello's "Accidents Will Happen" alludes to a car accident.

"accidents will happen
they're only hit and run
you used to be a victim
now you're not the only one
accidents will happen
they're only hit and run
I don't want to hear it
'cause I know what I've done"

 

John Hiatt - Only the Song Survive

'She said we rolled that Camaro like a cowboy cigarette
Out on the highway in a puddle of beer
That's just about how close to death you're gonna get
Till the only thing standing is fear '

Tom

 

"Contusion" - Nervous Norvous... or spelling similar....

 

I was just listening to Bob Dylan . . .

"An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again."
