And last but not least …
Midnight Rambler - Stones.
I’m Gonna Make You Love Me by The Jayhawks
Voyeur by Blink 182
Wow, nobody’s mentioned the all time stalker classic, I Will Follow Him by Little Peggy March. That song always gave me the creeps. What if he doesn’t want you to follow him, Peggy? Hmmm?
Sunshine Superman by Donovan.
I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mine
I’ll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
I always get a stalker-type vibe from the song “Breaking Glass” by David Bowie:
See you’re such a wonderful person
But you’ve got problems oh-oh-oh-oh
I’ll never touch you
Satellite by Smashmouth
“I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It’s pointed straight up towards the smog
I know I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning x-ray vision
As you roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I’m generating or maybe not yet”
No Reply by The Beatles
"I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That’s a lie
'Cause I know where you’ve been
And I saw you walk in your door "
I get a little stalker feel from “Found Out About You” by the Gin Blossoms:
“Your boyfriend’s over, I watched the lights go out.”
“You oughta know” by Alanis, from Jagged Little Pill isn’t very stalkerish, but the alternate track on the album is kinda disturbing.
“I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
Opened the door without ringing the bell
Walked down the hall
Into your room where I could smell you
And I shouldn’t be here
Without permission
Shouldn’t be here…”
Private eyes
They’re watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They’re watching you
Private eyes
They’re watching you watching you watching you watching you
One Night in NYC by The Horrorist
Lily (My One and Only) by Smashing Pumpkins is a good stalker song. It’s on the second album of Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
A bit obvious, but Urge Overkill had a great, funky, sloppily played track called “Stalker” on their “Saturation” LP.
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why… Why… that’s the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry
Nick Cave From Her to Eternity.
He was just a social drinker but social every night
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
He’d enjoy the thought of killing her before
The Beautiful South Woman in the Wall not a stalker song but in the right spirit.
Gonna Get Close to You by Queensryche, from their Rage for Order CD:
Outside your balcony, I have a room with a view
And I’m watching you…
…I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door 'til you’re asleep at night
And when you’re alone I know when you turn out the light
…You fumble for your keys
I’m six or seven steps behind you
I’m so close to you
Are you terrified of me?
What do I know about you?
How did I find out?
Blonde’s “One Way or Another”
There’s gotta be a**Kate Bush[/] song that would fit.
“Willing to Wait” by Sebadoh. Sounds like a stalker with a really long fuse.
I’m Stalking, yes indeed
I’m Lurking behind trees
I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me
Whatcha gonna do when I make bail?
Whatcha gonna do when I get out of jail?
Every time you turn around you find me on your tail
Wouldn’t be safe to open your mail
I’m Stalking your behind
I’m Peeking through your blinds
I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me
Whatcha gonna do when the cops come late?
Whatcha gonna do when I kill your date?
When you find your dog poisoned by something that he ate
Will you know I think of you when I masturbate?
I’m Stalkin, yes indeed
I’m Lurking behind trees
I’m Hoping that you’ll come back to me
Dead or Alive
By popular New Orleans performer Fayard Lindsey
Best stalking song ever:
Women call it stalking (I just call it creative walking)
by Otis Lee Crenshaw (aka comedian Rich Hall).
It’s on the London, Not Tennessee album and you can buy it via his website.
Rod Stewart’s “Downtown Train” always sounded like a stalker to me, but I may just be weird…
“On My Mind” by Powderfinger. One of their best songs, and the lead singer specifically said that that was what it was about, at least in his mind.
Baby I’ve got you on my mind, honey you won’t ever know
How much I need you by my side, promise you won’t ever go
I won’t take no from you this time
Baby I’ve got you on my mind.
