Ik houd van droevige luisterliedjes, dat mag wel blijken uit deze top 10, en dit is echt een van de allermooiste en allerdroevigste liedjes die ik ken. Het komt uit de film Magnolia en alleen al om de muziek zou je die film een keer moeten zien (hoewel het verhaal, de regie, de art-direction en de acteerprestaties ook erg goed zijn).

De volledige tekst:

It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up
