I knew for a little while that ‘Every breath you take’ wasn’t really a happy love song but I only realised quite recently that "Copacabana’ by Manilow was quite dark.
Just wondered if anyone had other examples of songs which may well seem quite upbeat but whose lyrics aren’t at all?

Almost everything by ABBA.
Indeed. The best example being The Visitors, about the capture and mistreatment of political dissidents in the Soviet Union. A truly stunning song, imho.
