The best breakup song EVER is the Mountain Goats’ “No Children”: And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can’t find one good thing to say And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out You’d stay the hell out of my way I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die ---

If I might suggest this: the _Funeral March of a Marionette_, aka, the Alfred Hitchcock theme song: [http://timstvshowcase.com/hitch.html](http://timstvshowcase.com/hitch.html) Love, Phil ---

Elvis/Are You Lonesome Tonight…the laughing version [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar3LJnDErX8) Sorry, can’t find it on youtube, but the Sam Kinison song. He plays a jazzy piano, talks about how his girlfriend loved him till the money ran out. You’re expecting this wistful, bittersweet song until he starts singing: You lying whore! You used me! You never loved me! I hope you slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood! Die! Die! Die! I want my records back! I want my records back! ---

Here is a sample of “Your Love is Like a Nuclear Waste” by the Tuff Darts I’d rather crawl through poison ivy, Or grab high tension wires, Cut my legs off at the knees, or set myself on fire. Than to have to feel your charms closing in around me, Or feel your slimy kisses covering my body. ---

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, by Soft Cell [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfRXOORev-A) Lyrics: Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo Crying in the rain It was a kind of so so love And I’m going to make sure it never Happens again You and I It had to be The standing joke of the year You were a sleep around A lost and found And not for me I fear The song continues in that vein… ---

_Death on Two Legs_ by **Queen**. Excerpt (from first verse) You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you preach You’ve taken all my money And you want more It’s my favorite “angry” song.
