I can't Believe nobody has mentioned Paul Simon's 50 ways to leave your lover

"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Ooo slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Who could forget one of the best breakup songs in recent history?

Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson

ratbastid · 01-12-2007, 02:01 PM

Ooh, I can't believe I forgot good old "Insensitaz" by Juan Carlos Joabim!

The literal translation of the lyrics from their original Brazilian goes:

Quote:

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me.
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely.
Why, she must have asked, did I just turn
And stare in icy silence?
What was I to say?
What's there to say when the love affair is over?

FoolThemAll · 01-12-2007, 08:29 PM

Oh yeah, just thought of another good one. Amicable at first glance, but decidedly bitter if you take a closer look.

Nickel Creek - "Somebody More Like You"

Quote:

I didn't hear you say you're sorry
The fault must be mine
I wish you all the best of luck at
Finding somebody more like you

You said you'd love me always truly
I must have changed
'Cause you don't need me like you used to
I hope you find somebody more like you

I hope you finally find someone
Someone that you trust
And give him everything
I hope you meet someone your height
So you can see eye to eye
With someone as small as you

You came out of nowhere and made me smile
Then tore me in two
Saying we're very different people so dear
I hope you find somebody more like you
I hope you find somebody more like you

"How Long"

Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away

I can't seem to get my heart over you
Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
I said fuck that

I can tell you're lying when your lips move
Cause of one lie it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away

She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
With one finger
I said fuck that

Good suggestions so far. Here are some that came to my mind.

Plain White T's: Hate (I really hate this song, but it's a good Fuck You song I guess)
Ween: Push th' Little Daisies
Dashboard Confessional: Screaming Infidelities
Violent Femmes: Kiss Off

Quote:

I take one one one cause you left me and
Two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my lonely and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost God and
10 10 10 10 for everything
Everything everything everything

And for a whole album:
Afghan Whigs: Gentleman
The whole album is pretty much a Fuck you when listened to in one sitting. However, the lines below are great.

Quote:

WHAT JAIL IS REALLY LIKE
Lonely?
Maybe
Or maybe not
It all depends
Your ideal, your image
Your definition of a friend
If what you're shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone

And my all-time favorite

Best 2 lines in bold.

The Donnas - I Didn't Like you Anyway

Quote:

You told me that it just couldn't be
You don't wanna go out with me
No I'm not sad, I don't even care
'Cause dumb boys like you are everywhere
yeah, that's right
B-O-R-I-N-G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B-O-R-I-N-G
I wanted something quick and easy
I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh-huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run
You thought I would be broken hearted
Maybe I would if you weren't so retarted!

Nobody mentioned 'Forget Her' by Jeff Buckley yet?

While this town (is) busy sleeping,
All the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
(Cause) she'll never change her ways.

Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
And my heart feels so still
As I try to find the will
To forget her, somehow.
I think I've forgotten her now.

Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.

Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.

Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of her words, all of her men,
all of my pain when I think back to when.

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.

But don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will
to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.

Oh She was heartache from the day that I first met her.
My heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will
to forget you, somehow.
Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.

"Friendly Fire" - Sean Lennon

I don't want to hear
another word from you now
I'd rather be wrong
life is mostly what
you don't see anyway
so just look away
but our shadows
never leave us alone
down the bad roads
they will follow us
faithfully home

you launched the assualt
with the first cannonball
my soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought
it would never come down,
down to the wire
it's friendly fire

in your room filled with the things
that you've never done
does anyone really care
your shadow
just wont leave you alone
'cos he knows well
he knows what you've done

you launched the assualt
with the first cannonball
my soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought
it could never come down,
down to the wire
it's friendly fire

waves don't wonder
when you're drowning
under the sea
so don't look for me
find her keep her lose her
deserts you in the end
you were my friend
like your shadow
no one knows you as well
as I do

you launched the assualt
with the first cannonball
my soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought
it would never come down,
down to the ground
'cos I was so tired
then I'll get down
down to the wire
it's friendly fire
