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
Love, Phil
“Bitch” by Meredith Brooks
or, maybe …
“Cheap and Evil Girl” by Bree Sharp
Elvis/Are You Lonesome Tonight…the laughing version
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
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.
