Brand New Love
as performed by Superchunk on the Tossing Seeds singles comp, though I suspect it's a cover.

Fuck you Dave!
"Losing My Mind" from Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" - the line "you said you loved me, but were you just being kind"

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds -- The Ship Song. Again, always at the same point: - "When I must remove your wings, and you must try to fly." 
Raynard the fox -- a traditional song about foxhunting narrated from the fox's point of view. ("It was by stony fields where they killed me, How the bloodthirsty hounds they did holler, They tore my old jacket to pieces...."). Lovely modal tune also.
The good old way -- a Primitive Methodist hymn, last verse starts, "And far beyond this mortal shore, We'll meet with those who have gone before, And shout to think we've gained the day, By marching in the good old way." Again, a wonderful tune.
There's loads more.

i wouldnt bother with The Familys version tbh, as its a very banal take on a fantastic song -its the oldest version, but REALLY poor compared to Sinead O connors haunting tearjerker, or Prince and Rosie Gaynes amazing version.
You've mentioned that Billy Bragg tune before, maybe here maybe somewhere else.
Geri
wasn't born to follow
Yeah, more than once I think!
God, I was in the car tonight with Take That's new cd on and I was listening to a song called "What is love" - it made me cry!! 
Apart from that.....
There's a couple in Les Mis that bring me to my knees and 'in the ghetto' usually does it.
Actually, I'll cry at lots of songs.....

Flaming Lips Realise especially from Glasto gets me as it did most of the crowd who were caught out by the words in the moment I think lots chocked up a bit... it gets me everytime... but its hard to tell if its joy or saddness its that sort of a song
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LE4fOfraVeA
Flaming Lips - (waiting on a) superman always gets me ...
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ-542yQKyU
But especially like this amateur cover on youtube which is rare as I dont usually like covers of The Lips stuff but it gets me everytime even though she uses too much reverb it captures the feeling so well

No hair shows you care.
hhhmmm...yes, i was thinking it couldn't be that good otherwise i'd have remembered it being so and would have thought "oh, that sinead o'connor's version ain't a patch on the original"
Prince and Rosie Gaynes version? what's that on? don't think i've ever had the undoubted pleasure of hearing it?
Give me a little more time by Gabrielle. Mostly for personal reasons. Will explain if asked but would prefer not to. (waves to the person concerned )
Silly Games - Janet Kay. Personal reasons also but I would give anything for the chance to wave at her again.

Nessun Dorma, especially when sung by Pavarotti. The most beautiful piece ever. And the last song that made me cry.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ONUCPKdGcrk - sounds not too great though.
Also, for years Sway by Strangelove used to get me. It was played at the funeral of a friend of mine from my teens, and since then has always been that song, you know.
