    Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun.

    An awful song I admit to buying when I was a kid.

    The b-side was Put The Bone In.

    "Put the bone in, she called, to the store (butcher)."

    About her dying dog, not...the other thing.

    I guess I'm surprised that there are no other DADA fans on SHMF? This is one of their most well known songs. Absolutely fabulous guitar work.

    Here, another murder ballad to add to the pile. Courtesy of Tom Waits.
    Widow's Grove from Orphans. So beautiful and disturbing in equal measure.
