"As" and "Another Star," especially the latter, on Songs in the Key of Life.

"Favourite Hour" by Elvis Costello (Brutal Youth)
Continuing the Yo La Tengo thread, "Night Falls On Hoboken" (And then nothing...)
"Will You Find Me?" by American Music Club (Mercury)
"Lighting Out for the Territories" by Laurie Anderson (United States Live)
"Come On Darkness" by Camper Van Beethoven (Key Lime Pie)
"Dime Store Mystery" by Lou Reed (New York)
"Halcyon & On & On" by Orbital (Orbital 2)
The live version of "Violaine" on Cocteau Twins' BBC Sessions
"Sunless Saturday" by Fishbone (The Reality of My Surroundings)
"Motorway to Roswell" by Pixies (Trompe le Monde) is a bit of a cheat - not quite the last track, but it should have been.
By contrast, my list of favorite closing tracks on shorter albums is huge, but I'll wait for someone else to veer off-topic before I bother.

"Go Spread Your Wings" from the CD version of Godflesh's "Selfless", however, is pretty much the standard by which I measure "totally awesome songs that are on the very end of albums."

-- technically not a "song" as such, but the heartbreaking duo between Ramsey Ameen and Cecil Taylor at the end of One Too Many Salty Swift And Not Goodbye.

"The Verb 'To Love'" by Todd Rundgren is a killer (next to last song on -Faithful- -- this is the LP where the Runt filled up side one with note-for-note recreations of 60's pop classics. Neat trick, but it obscured some good Todd originals on the other side).

The unlisted song on Travis's The Man Who has more bite than anything else they ever did. About an abusive alcoholic father and a house on fire.
