11. Here you go:


You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you yes it is
You just can't hide
You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gonna soar
I don't care for any casanova thing
All I can say is
Love stinks

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

15. The Byrds "Pretty Polly"


There used to be a gambler who courted all around
There used to be a gambler who courted all around
He courted pretty polly, such beauty never been found
Pretty polly, pretty polly, come go along with me
Pretty polly, pretty polly, come go along with me
Before we get married, some pleasures to see

She jumped up behind him and way they did go
She jumped up behind him and way they did go
Down into the valley that was far below
They went a little further and what did they spot
They went a little further and what did they spot
But a newly dug grave with a spade lying by

Oh, willy, hey, willy, Im afraid of your ways
Oh, willy, hey, willy, Im afraid of your ways
Im afraid you will lead my poor body astray
Pretty polly, pretty polly, you guessed it just right
Pretty polly, pretty polly, you guessed it just right
I dug all your grave the better part of last night

Then he stabbed her in her heart till her hearts blood did flow
He stabbed her in her heart till her hearts blood did flow
Down into the grave pretty polly did go
Now a debt to the devil, that willy must pay
A debt to the devil, that willy must pay
For killing pretty polly and running away


Sorry, bad joke. I'm not a misogynist! It's a great old song, and I really like the Byrds version, although there are versions with more and alternate stanzas.

Grouches of the world unite!
Stand up for your grouchly rights!
Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain
Just stand up and complain (heheheh)

Let this be the grouches' cause:
Point out everybody's flaws!
Something is wrong with everything
Except the way I sing!

69. I actually heard that FIRST when the Meatmen covered it...
It was several years before I discovered that the Pagans
had done it originally...either way, any version, it still
touches me HARD, and needs not apologize to anyone for its
existence.

Which is to say: Great tune!

18. "She Hates Me" | Puddle of Mud
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbd8TsjaCq4

She Hates Me | Puddle of Mud
Met a girl
Thought she was grand
Fell in love
Found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came unglued

CHORUS:
In a trap
Trap I can't grip
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fuckin' hates me
Trust
She fuckin' hates me
La la la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
After that, her shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no

CHORUS

That's my story
As you see
Learned my lesson
And so did she
Now it's over
And I'm glad
Cuz I'm a fool for all I said

CHORUS

19. No Valentines by Elton John
" ...but keep my Valentine
I'll keep my bleeding heart
just let me out of here
before the sentimental music starts
your regrets
fall like empty lines
like the lies we write
on Valentines"

"Born to be blue" Wynonna Judd
"Love hurts" Nazareth
"Good Bye to Love" The Carpenters
"All you get from love is a love song" The Carpenters
"Fooling Yourself" Aldo Nova
"What are you waiting for?" Gibson Miller
"Bye bye love" Everly Brothers/Simon and Garfunkel
"Solitaire" The Carpenters
"Alone Again" Dokken
"Wait" White Lion
"The Last to know" Asia
"Heart to heart" Aldo Nova
"I don't need love" Sammy Hagar

Okay some of those are about heartbreak more than they are anti-love, but anti-love needs a reason, doesn't it.

25. Oooh...It's Not Love ~ Dokken
:hi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9qQ5RlB7mk

Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore

Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you

It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down

20. Steppenwolf..."Tenderness"....
...

She tried to show me how to love
I bit her lips and bruised her arms
No I hadn't learned Tenderness
She asked "what does love mean to you?"
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down
I looked in her eyes and I laughed
The love I feel is hard and fast
It's for a face and for one night
I don't need to own anyone

She said, she said all your women burn in your flame
But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge

She laughed and said "You'll go thru hell
You'll live in lonely rooms unknown
And watch for my lost Tenderness"
I went from her to someone else and someone else
No, I couldn't be satisfied

She said, she said all your women burn in your flame
And as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge

I wish that I could find her now
My love is soft, my love is warm
I'd take her to bed tenderly
Yes I'd take her to bed tenderly

23. Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe"
... You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me babe
A-no, no, no it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for babe ...

64. Or Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

24. Shame Shame Shame ~ Ratt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQc38WEpunA

I'm knockin' at your door
And there's no answer
I hear the moans and groans
Of your nasty laughter
I'm kickin' in the door
As your breathin' gets faster
Your trail of clues
Is leadin' to disaster

Once I looked into your eyes
I thought they were true
Innocence can turn to lies
And now the finger points
At you, baby

Shame Shame Shame
You should've known better
Than to cheat on me
Shame Shame Shame
Now it don't matter
So let me be
You've got your own self to blame
Now it's time to feel the pain
Of your twisted little game
It's such a cryin'
Shame Shame Shame
Shame Shame Shame

Did you do your poses
In the mirror
Did you tell him
Baby, baby please
Did you twist his tongue
And bend his ear
Did you have him beggin', beggin'
On his knees

Once you looked into my eyes
And told me you were mine
Now I see your cheap disguise
And you're runnin' out of time, baby

Shame Shame Shame
You should've known better
Than to cheat on me
Shame Shame Shame
Now it don't matter
So let me be
You've got your own self to blame
Now it's time to feel the pain
Of your twisted little game
It's such a cryin'
Shame Shame Shame
Shame Shame Shame

29. My all-time favorite, from Harry Nilsson...
YOU'RE BREAKIN' MY HEART

You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearin' it apart,
So fuck you.

All I want to do
Is have a good time
Now I'm blue.

You wanna boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps,
Have a dance or two--ooh!

You're breaking my heart,
You're tearin' it apart,
But fuck you.

You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearin' it apart,
Ooh!--ooh!--

You stepped on my ass,
You're breaking my glasses
Too.

You wanna drive my car,
Buy a lot of stuff,
I've had enough of you--ooh!

I'm goin' insane,
There's no one to blame,
So fuck you.

You've gotta have your way,
There's nothin' left to say,
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!

You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearin' it apart,
So fuck you.

You've gotta have your way,
There's nothin' left to say,
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!

You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearin' it apart.
(But I love you.)

46. He also wrote "I sang my balls off for you"
Hmmm, wonder why I never heard either of those on the radio?

He did one called "Joy": "Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl, but to me she only meant sorrow".

30. "Unhappy Birthday" - The Smiths
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)

Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way ?
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
And : "May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight"


I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)


Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way ?
I said "No"
And then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight


From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind

40. Since no one's mentioned Blue Rodeo's "Heart Like Mine"
...I will.

Greg Keelor used to spin a tale of the girlfriend from hell before playing this song at gigs. I don't know if the story was true, but I had to love the song.

http://www.bluerodeo.com/music/songs/heartlikemine.aspx

Don't you know that we're out of touch
Yeah we fight too much
How'd we ever get so messed up
Every night we say the craziest things
You know our words they once had wings

Now it's all covered up
In double-talk and lies
There's a stranger looking back
When I look in your eyes

I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine a heart like mine

You call me a fool 'cause I still feel the same
You say that your love has changed
Ah here we go again
Close your eyes tell me what do you see
Do you still remember me
Like some Mexican diplomat
After the fact
Air-brushed from history
Swept under the mat

I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine a heart like mine

And as I walk out the door
I step into a dream
The world's quiet and I feel free
But things are never what they seem
But then I hear you call
And warn myself don't go back
But slow motion attacks
Like some Mexican diplomat
After the fact
Air-brushed from history
Swept under the mat

I just want to find a heart like mine
I just want to find a heart like mine
A heart like mine a heart like mine

42. "Used to Love Her" ...guns n roses
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 11:21 AM by MrsGrumpy
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

43. That Ain't My Truck - Akins Rhett...
She's been goin' out with him
She's been goin' out with me
Said she'd let us know by tonight
Which one it would be
So I waited by the phone
But she never called me up
Had to know what was goin' on
So, I drove by her house -- and sure enough

That ain't my truck in her drive
Man this ain't my day tonight
Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck
That ain't my shadow on her wall
Lord this don't look good at all
That's my girl -- my whole world
But that ain't my truck

I pulled over by the curb
I've been sittin' here all night
Wonderin' what it was I did so wrong
That he did so right
I've thought of breakin' down her door
But there's nothin' left to say
That chevy four-by-four
Says it all sittin' in my place

That ain't my truck in her drive
Man this ain't my day tonight
Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck
That ain't my shadow on her wall
Lord this don't look good at all
That's my girl -- my whole world
But that ain't my truck

That ain't my shadow on her wall
Lord this don't look good at all
That's my girl -- my whole world
But that ain't my truck
That's my girl -- my whole world
But that ain't my truck

54. She never cried when Old Yeller died
Confederate Railroad

"She never cried when Old Yeller died
she wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb
she never stood up for the Star Spangled Banner
and she wasn't a John Wayne fan
her baby blue eyes hid the warning signs
that woman was bad to the bone
she never cried when Old Yeller died
and I ain't gonna cry when she's gone"

"Down came a blackbird"

"Down came a blackbird
set on the fence
talking in riddles
making no sense
she's gone
your baby's gone

down came a blackbird, perched on a pole
took out a mirror and said 'son, behold'
'cause she's gone, your baby's gone

(chorus)
gone like a dollar
spent on a drink
head hanging over the kitchen sink
gone like the wind through a cabin door
never gonna blow that way no more

gone like the song of a mockingbird
laughing at everything it heard
gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
she ain't coming back and it ain't no joke
she's gone
your baby's gone

down came a blackbird, set by the fire
said "the future's coming at you like a freight train
and you're walking the wire"
'cause she's gone, your baby's gone

she says she doesn't want a man
who hangs around the house
who doesn't say a word unless he's shooting off his mouth
there's got to be a better way to be a loving wife
if she stays here, she'll end up his waitress for life

down came a blackbird, set on a fence
talking in riddles and making absolutely perfect sense
'cause she's gone, your baby's gone

(chorus)"


Lila McCann. I guess a one hit wonder, made when she was 17 in 1997. The song rocks though and reminds me of "The Raven". The CD was decent too. I especially liked #10 "A rain of Angels"

44. Comedian Tim Wilson: "If You Try To Save this Marriage Again, I'll Kill You"
They got eleven of us in a Jim Walter home
They got your genes, and my chromosomes
But these young-ens are about to drive me out of my skull
They lost their minds and you've lost your looks
You think I've slept with the telephone book
But to tell you the truth, I'm only half way through the “Q”s
And if you try to save this marriage again
I'll kill you

You're louder than an outboard Evinrude
You got us living off little-league food
You're cooking corn dogs for a forty-five year old man
And you've been laying around like I'm a nurses aid
I oughta draw checks from Medicaid
You lay on the sofa, till your butt turns black and blue
And if you try to save this marriage again
I'll kill you

Call your lawyer, get him on the phone
Ya'll can split everything I own
Divorce is rough and there's hell to pay
But we don't own anything anyway
Since you turned me in to the Internal Revenue
And if you try to save this marriage again
I'll kill you

Call your lawyer, tell him everything
Man, that fat lady sure could sing
Take the damned house, I wish you would
There's a Hooter girl waiting in my pickup truck
She's a 38D, and she just turned twenty-two
And if you try to save this marriage again
I'll kill you

Under my thumb
The squirmin dog whos just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

The way she does just what shes told
Down to me, the change has come
Shes under my thumb
Ah, ah, say its alright

57. that won't drive me crazy!
Reminded me of my theme song "Lonesome Loser" Little River Band

"Have you heard about the lonseome loser
beaten by the queen of hearts every time
have you heard about the lonesome loser
he's a loser but he still keeps on trying ..."

or Lonesome Dove

"I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance
his cry echoes out through the day
he's sad that his lover flew off with another
and I know the sorrow he feels
lonesome dove, we're not that different
you sing a sad song, 'cause you're all alone
you've been forever forsaken by the one that you love
I know how you feel lonesome dove."

"All the lonely people" The Beatles

61. "Hit and Run" by The Bar-Kays
Well, well, well
Whoa, whoa

Hit and run
You were just out for fun
I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
You really made it hard to tell
That all you were was
A one night stand

Well
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The stage was set the day we met
I thought I had the leading part
But you lied to me and led me to believe
That no one else could steal your heart

But you said you would love me good
And I thought that you were here to stay
You held me tight, it felt so right
Then you up and ran away

Oh, hit and run
You were just having fun
Girl, I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
You really made it hard to tell
That all you were was
A one night stand

Well, well, well
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Yeah

I bet you know I wanted you so
But love was never on your mind
No chance for me 'cause you had to leave
For a love of a different kind

Girl, you lied to me, led me to believe
You were gonna be here to stay
I never understood, never thought you would
Turn your back and run away

Oh, hit and run
Girl, you were just out for fun
I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
Girl, you really made it hard to tell
That all you were was a one night stand

Hey, hey
Well
Woo, woo, woo

Hit and run just for fun, ooh
Hit and run just for fun on me
Hit and run just for fun
Hit and run just for fun

63. Alison by Elvis Costello
Oh it’s so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
That you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.
I’m not going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines,
’cause I don’t know if you’ve been loving somebody.
I only know it isn’t mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you’ve got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
In the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I’ll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
Cause I can’t stand to see you this way.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.

65. "My Way" by Limp Bizkit
Awesome, rage-filled break-up song:



Check, check, check check... out my melody

Special
You think you're special
You do
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it when you laugh at me
Look down on me
You walk around on me
Just one more fight
About your leadership
And I will straight up
Leave your shit
Cause I've had enough of this
And now I'm pissed

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Check out, check check... out my melody

Just one more fight
About a lot of things
And I will give up everything
To be on my own again
Free again

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
Where, you never know
Where you're gonna go

Check out, check check... out my melody

Just one more fight
And I'll be history
Yes I will straight up
Leave your shit
And you'll be the one who's left
Missing me

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
Where, you never know
Where you're gonna go

Check out, check check... out my melody

68. How about "Don't Talk To Me" by GG Allin?
Well I'm just sick and tired of talking on the phone
Sitting in your room conversing all alone
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking about everybody else
But what you really rather do is talk about yourself,so......

Chorus
Don't talk to me, don't talk
Don't talk to me, don't talk
Don't talk to me, don't talk
You don't talk to me, don't talk

You don't talk to me
Not even a word, not even a whisper
Just button your lip!

You ought to have a case of bloody laryngitis!
We're sitting in a room with no one here beside us,
cause we're sick and tired of listening to your neurotic shit
Why don't you shut your mouth, stop acting like a twit

Chorus
Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha cha chatter chatter chatter!

You talk to me all night, but I don't know whats the matter
When you yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak!
I'd like to tie your hands and feet and put you in a sack.

Chorus

And then there's Mr. Allin's first-date song, "Gimme Some Head"...

72. Pantera "This Love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR8mracdlzM


If ever words were spoken
Painful and untrue
I said I loved but I lied
In my life
All I wanted
Was the keeping
Of someone like you
As it turns out
Deeper within me
Love was twisted and pointed at you

Never ending pain, quickly ending life --


You keep this love, thing, love, child, love, toy
You keep this love, fist, love, scar, love, break
You keep this love

I'd been the tempting one
Stole her from herself
This gift in pain
Her pain was life
And sometimes I feel so sorry
I regret this the hurting of you
But you make me so unhappy
I'd take my life and leave love with you

I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself --



No more head trips

82.  How Can I miss You (When You Won't Go Away)? by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
How Can I Miss You (When You Won't Go Away)
by Dan Hicks

I've talked to your mother and I've talked to your dad,
They say they've tried but it's all in vain.
I've begged and I've pleaded, I even got mad,
Now we must face it, you give me a pain.

chorus: How can I miss you when you won't go away?
I keep telling you day after day,
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay,
How can I miss you when you won't go away?

Out of three billion people, why must it be me?
OhOh why, oh why won't you cut me loose?
D Do me a favor and listen to my plea
I'm not the only chicken in the roost.

Your never-ending presence really cramps my style,
I dream that it won't always be the same.
At first I was attracted, but after a while,
Have you ever heard of a "hard to get" dame?"

85. Love Hurts - Nazareth et al
Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

Im young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when its hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
Theyre not foolin me

I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts



I know it isnt true,
I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
