"Johnny The Horse" by Madness

Despite their name Madness didn't really write many songs about mental illness, but this is about a homeless man who has lost everything (his life, family, his wife, his home) because of psychological problems.

Actually that is one direction I completely agree we should explore. Very dark lyrics contrasting with a cheerful music would make perfect sense for a "crazy" band like Insanity Streak! ;)

I know this isn't the style you wanted, but I love the contrast between the cheerful optimism of the music and the deeply depressing story they're telling. It seems even more tragic when the music sounds happy.
