"Holland 1945" -- Neutral Milk Hotel. It's about Anne Frank and the Holocaust!
"4 Minute Warning" -- Radiohead. This song about fleeing from a city being bombed sounds like a campfire love song.

"The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes"--Elvis Costello. I've always assumed that the protagonist is going to kill himself after being rejected. "I won't get any older..."
