“I Don’t Want You Back” by Eamon.
“F— what I said, it don’t mean sh-t now
f— the presents, might as well throw them out
f— all the kisses they didn’t mean jack
f— you ho, I don’t want you back.”
And in the video, he throws a pizza.

Ani DiFranco - “Untouchable Face” It’s also a good bad mood song, or just pissed off/fighting with someone song. Had to buy a two disc compilation to get it and it’s the only song of about forty I like. Worth every penny.
I forgot I’m Free by The Who.
How could I forget You Outta Know.
Oh and that Foo Fighters song The One. Or Tired of You. Nah, The One is better.
Lyle Lovett’s *She’s Leavin’ Me Because She Really Wants To. *
It’s not a kiss-off song, but I’ve always loved the line from Rod Stewart’s Reason to Believe:
Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else.
The Eurthymics (Annie Lennox): *Would I Lie to You? *
How about Basement Jaxx’s Good Luck?
I find that generally the answer to the best lyrics about any subject ends up back at the Beautiful South and in this case I’ll go for I’ll Sail This Ship Alone:
I’ll sail this ship alone
Between the pain and the pleasure
I’ll sail this ship alone
Amongst the sharks and the treasure
If you would rather go your way then go your way
I’ll sail this ship alone
I don’t imagine they are popular in the US and the lyrics are hard to appreciate without listening to how they are performed but check these out and some of you may find a pleasant surprise.
SciFiSam I made my son a CD of Beautiful South stuff because he likes Robbie Williams and it’s the same sort of subversive stuff - it sounds cute on the surface until you listenn to what is being sung. He now likes BS too.
Even better Song For Whoever:
I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry
Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Phillipa, Oh Sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I wrote this song for you
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light,
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
A lovely piece of heartless pop. Listen if you can.
It’s hard to beat Harry Nillsson’s You’re Breakin’ My Heart.
“You’re breakin’ my heart,
You’re tearin’ it apart,
So f ck you.
You stepped on my ass,
You’re breakin’ my glasses, too.”
Wake up baby
You’re so totally deluded
You’ll end up old and lonely
If you don’t get a bullet in your head
Good luck, good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
While your’re resting your head
Yeup, works for me!
Robert Cray’s Still Around
Sample lyrics:
Why can’t you show some feeling?
Why can’t you understand?
[You] Messed up my whole life
Why wreck my day
Did my best to love you
Now do your best to leave
Can’t you see that’s what I want
I really need
I’ve always kinda liked Aaron Tippin’s Kiss This:
Why don’t you kiss…kiss this
And I don’t mean on my rosy red lips
Me and You, oh we are through
And there’s only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes, and kiss this…good bye
Goody Goody:
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody Goody!
You met someone and now you know how it feels
Goody Goody!
You gave him your heart too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do?
Cry Me a River:
Now you say you’re sorry
For bein’ so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I’ll be Glad When You’re Dead, You Rascal You:
I’ll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
I’ll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
When you dead in your grave,
No more women will you crave.
I’ll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
Motley Crue’s Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
Oooh, another one! I Hate Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe.

I think this isn’t Dylan, but Nick Drake. I freely admit I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure.
[/pick]
Nick who, now?
I always thought Freebird was the ultimate Kiss-off song. (I wouldn’t exactly call it the best one though.)
Dylan wrote it, Nick Drake covered it.
