Certainly "How Soon Is Now?" qualifies.

Slovenly, "Self Pity Song". Not that it could make me (or anybody) cry hot tears of anything.

Neil Young - Ambulance Blues

Scott Walker's cover of "Make It Easy On Yourself" is infamous for this (so magnanimously over-the-top it draws attention back to the singer)

You're all wrong. The winner is "It Makes No Difference" by The Band.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

...or maybe "Weeping" by Throbbing Gristle.

"Fake Plastic Trees"

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't see how 'how to disappear' is in any way self pitying.
it's inwardly reflective u can say ! i adore that record absolootly.

"What's Up Fat Lip" by Fat Lip. I love that song.
