And the award for craziest song goes to...

One tune from last week's blog sparked an idea for this week's theme (sample-spotters might be able to guess which one), so I'm going for songs about mental illness. Obviously it's a serious business in real life but songwriters play rather more freely with images of psychological collapse so I'm not going to be too medical about it. Just be sensible and selective. A gloomy lyric doesn't necessarily indicate clinical depression, otherwise the list would be wall-to-wall goth, and the Osmond's Crazy Horses are not in any way meant to be mentally ill horses.
