Sleeping isn’t working, watching movies isn’t working, lying on my couch and thinking isn’t working, laying on the floor isn’t working, maybe some good songs will.
Can anyone give me some good break up songs, preferably some about the guy getting over the girl? Maybe some about the man getting his heartbroken and being a little pissed at the girl, those might help.

“Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits
Theres this one Bob Dylan song that I remember hearing a while back, something about switching shoes and hating the girl. Can anyone name that song?

“Thank God and Greyhound She’s Gone” Roy Clark
“Lost Cause”, Beck. Actually the whole CD (Sea Change has a break-up feel.
“She hates me” by Puddle of Mudd
Its kind of catchy in an earworm sort of way.
I would recommend “Don’t Leave Me Now” by Pink Floyd, but it sort of… ends badly. :eek:
