Anyone know any good songs about SA?

I know there would be songs about the things we go though, although I don't know whether there would be many directly about SA. I want to download and listen to these songs, a little bit of connection to the song, I would get.

Good topic. I can't actually think of any really detailed SA lyrics..
Theres the smiths - how soon is now
and theres probably something by the nine inch nails but I can't think.
I can think of plenty of songs that you can apply to SA but aren't actually about it.
Would love to hear some suggestions.

As mentioned these songs probably weren't specifically written about SA, but they remind me of it.

Ask by The Smiths
Jubilee by Blur
Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count by a-ha

NERVOUSLY by Pet Shop Boys
THE VISITORS by Abba

Not about social phobia directly but they do remind me of it.

"A Most Peculiar Man" by Simon & Garfunkel
"My Friend Will Be Me" by Of Montreal

Either could be interpreted as being about SA, though I'm not sure if they were written with it in mind.

Well maybe the Of Montreal track was, but the S&G one was probably just written about someone who was depressed although there are a lot of similarities between the "most peculiar man" and someone who has SA - "he has no friends / he seldom spoke" for example

REM - loosing my religion, if you try hard some of the lyrics sound like they could explain SA like

"That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough"

I dunno lol, i like to try hard to relate songs so SA

It is clearly about shyness.
