I've posted this before[1], but I have a feeling you'll like Dirt Poor Robins' But Never a Key[2] and the concept album it lives in, Deadhorse.

It begins:

  Algernon
  You won't need these flowers
  They've revoked the horrors
  Your tragedy now ends happily

  And I'm sure that they won't be done
  Till they fenced off the ledges
  And rounded the edges of all that goes wrong
  For you, Algernon...
