The only one I can think of right now is
Lady of a Certain Age by The Divine Comedy
Beautiful song about a rich girl who grows up with an unloving family, full of desperation and despair. But it sounds so true, it's probably happened a million times before. Theres a line in it "You gave him children, a girl and a boy", that really gets me. It's like the only reason they exist is to keep her husband happy.
"You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
