Real, Or Hidden Meanings Behind Songs

I've heard that Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters is about David Grohl's ill fated relationship with Courtney Love.

The Police's "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is about Sting talking to a student that had a crush on him, during his career as a teacher. Obvious from the lyrics.

What songs do you know of that have "real or hidden meanings"?
