Tear Jerker / Space

Go To

  • 'Bad Days', from Tin Planet, about the band's lost loved ones. And not just for fans, either - Tommy cried when he was recording it.
  • From Suburban Rock 'n' Roll: 'Punk Rock Funeral', '20 Million Miles from Earth', 'Quiet Beach', and 'The Goodbye Song'.
  • From Attack Of The Mutant 50ft Kebab, 'Armageddon' and 'Guest List to Hell', though the latter also doubles as a moment of heartwarming.
  • From Give Me Your Future: 'The Loneliest Robot' is either this to some listeners or Narm, especially due to the addition of pitch-shifting which makes Tommy sound as if he's about to malfunction.
  • Tommy Scott isn't the only band member capable of writing a Tear Jerker; see 'Gravity', one of the highlights of Love You More Than Football, written and sung by Jamie of all people. "Supersonic Jetplane", written by Yorkie in tribute in his late mother, is also prone to causing waterworks.
  • For the band themselves, playing the Hillsborough Justice Concert in 1997. Jamie and Tommy both broke down in tears during the finale, where the bands all came onstage to sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
