Songs that tell Great Stories
 
I'm trying to prepare a list of songs that tell great narratives. I'm trying to come up with short story ideas.

I only have three so far:
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Bobby Jean - Bruce Springsteen
A Postcard to Nina - Jens Lekman

Tell me what your most beloved, story driven songs are... please : )

The first person to mention In the Aeroplane over the Sea is getting bum-fucked with an oar.

I love the album to death but it is true: There are recurring motifs, but no clear narrative here.

As for the songs right now - great! Keep them coming!

The Trees by Rush and 2112 by Rush. The first one of normal length, 2112 is technically a 20 minute album that's all one story.

Do you know that The Trees is a song about the philosophical views of Ayn Rand?
