10cc’s, I’m Not In Love

[Yaxche]

The Afghan Whigs, Gentleman.

Just throw that on, and you’ll be fine.

This must be what jail is really like…

[Kimstu]

Nobody seems to have mentioned the classic I’ve Got No Use for the Women; I like the Burl Ives version but Marty Robbins seems to have done it too.

[Spoke]

She’s Not There - The Zombies

[camille]

Get Out (Take Your Mother With You) - Airship

I Don’t Care Anymore - Phil Collins

I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain - Tim Buckley

Ha, good one.

@WordMan

That’s not about a woman - the woman is a metaphor for US encroachment into other countries…

False, unless you only subscribe to John Lennon’s view on the meaning of lyrics:

Jim Kale, the group’s bassist and the song’s co-author, explained his take on the lyrics: “ The popular misconception was that it was a chauvinistic tune, which was anything but the case. The fact was, we came from a very strait-laced, conservative, laid-back country, and all of a sudden, there we were in Chicago, Detroit, New York — all these horrendously large places with their big city problems. After that one particularly grinding tour, it was just a real treat to go home and see the girls we had grown up with. Also, the war was going on, and that was terribly unpopular. We didn’t have a draft system in Canada, and we were grateful for that. A lot of people called it anti-American, but it wasn’t really. We weren’t anti-anything. John Lennon once said that the meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them.”

As for my contribution to the playlist, I give you The Cure - Shiver and Shake
*“You’re just a waste of time
You’re just a babbling face
You’re just three sick holes that run like sores
You’re a fucking waste” :eek:

[Prelude_to_Fascination]

Marshall Tucker’s “Can’t You See” shows how far a guy will go to get away from a woman.

[Mama_Zappa]

Tom Lehrer:

• She’s My Girl
• I Hold Your Hand In Mine

There’s a song that has a really bouncy tune, and the refrain is something like “if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life” (and goes on to say never marry a pretty woman because she’s going to cheat on you).

Ruby (don’t take your love to town)

You Know I’m No Good (Amy Winehouse)

Rumor Has It (Adele? starts out with her stealing the fellow from another girl - then dumping him).

[Invisible_Chimp]

Alex Chilton/Big Star- S.L.U.T.

[Superdude]

This one?

Tom Petty’s You Got Lucky? I don’t recall seeing it mentioned before.

ETA: Tom Petty’s Don’t Do Me Like That may also qualify.

[medstar]

How about Todd Rundgren’s “We gotta get you a woman”? He seemed rather dismissive of women other than as sex objects.

Oh, speaking of Marshall Tucker Band, This Old Cowboy is perfect for what the OP describes.

[Biggirl]

Outkast Hey Ya and especially Roses
Meatloaf Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad
Green Day Good Riddance
Emenem Love The Way You Lie
Teddy Pendergrass I Don’t Love You Anymore

[VarlosZ]

‘On Again’ – Jake Thackray. Funny, too.

Please understand I respect and admire the frailer sex
And I honor them every bit as much as the next
Misogynist

[F.U.Shakespeare]

Wives and Lovers (written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, sung here by Jack Jones)

The lyrics are amazingly dated in their blithe acceptance that husbands will stray:

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don’t send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

[Alley_Dweller]

I was going to mention that one too, but lost4life beat us both to it in post #23.

[Edward_The_Head]

Golden Earring’s Long Blond Animal.

Hard to go wrong with lyrics like “You might be a good looking lady, but you’re rotten to the core. You’re all fucked up.”

Helped me through my divorce at least. Helped that she is blonde and she liked the song.

[Prelude_to_Fascination]

Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More”.

[gaffa]

@Invisible_Chimp

Alex Chilton/Big Star- S.L.U.T.

Actually S.L.U.T. was by Todd as well. I’ve never heard the Big Star cover.
