Songs that tell a story? :)

Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega tells a story about the going ons in a Diner and you feel like you are in that Diner yourself.

I could see the half filled coffee and Suzanne subtly being nosy but pouring her milk innocuously. I could see the Woman coming in with wet hair from the rain even though she used an umbrella. Been there myself.

Just Another Brick In The Wall Part 1 and 2 really do tell a story.

Although when Pink Floyd sang,"Teachers leave them kids alone," they were referring to the Teachers mentally abusing The Students such as being Dictatorish to the Students. In Modern times, some Teachers molest and even rape their Students! :O

The Wall is of course a concept album, telling the story of one man's slide from isolation into madness. So any concept album tells a story. Most songs should tell some sort of a story I feel; the deeper the lyric most often the better the song. Nick Cave excels at this.

as does Springsteen

But for me the undisputed master is Waits.
