Sorry this clip of the Chapin Sisters is dark. But the song is darkly funny.

I know I'm slightly dense but I don't see the humor in it...
Don't wanna live, Sad and lonely, no, no
So go get a rock and just stone me, woah oh
Have mercy on me it's the end don't you see?
Kill me now, oh, kill me now
You've ruined my life, don't defend it, no, no
Just go get a a knife, and please end it, woah oh
Have mercy on me it's the end don't you see?
Kill me now, oh, kill me now
The fire begins as a spark
Next thing you know the whole world is in flames
Next thing you know it's always the same, always the same
You think I'm strong but I'm not
you can take me
Can't watch it die not our love
please don't make me
Have mercy on me it's the end don't you see?
Kill Me Now

Ok, now that I see the lyrics there, and yes I think it's kind of funny. THey sound like John Cale era Velvet Underground which if those guys are your influence, forget it, its going to be dark. It's funny because it's juxtaposed (there's that word again) against that hummable music in three part harmony and is sung by three really smart looking chicks (I think anyway, its pretty dark there) who obviously know that this isn't to be taken seriously. It's just another expression of the human condition. Kill me now (not really). Dave
