“You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morisette

Fiona Apple!
…brilliant, cutting lyrics - just pick a song!

Happy? by Mudvayne is a violently angry song.

sinead o’connor - the last day of our acquaiance
maria mckee - if love is a red dress (hang me in rags)
led zeppelin - baby i’m gonna leave you
tegan and sara - days and days
the shins - caring is creepy
the cure - boys don’t cry
bie holiday - i’m a fool to want you
bright eyes - lover i don’t have to love

The Mountain Goats - No Children

I’ve seen Kelly Clarkson mentioned, but I think her best angry song is “Chivas”, the hidden track on her cd “My December”. It’s pretty biting.

Robbie Williams - Karma Killer.

(and also “No Regrets”)

how about the calling’s adrienne?

I Get Out - by lyrical genius Lauryn Hill

Concrete Blonde “Morphine and Chocolate”

And, from what I have heard, the bands Provoke and Tempo 38 have some lyrics
Heartfelt Disgust: “I believed all your stupid lies/wake up in the morning with a mouthful of broken teeth and two black eyes”.

beatles- “for no one” & “i’m so tired”

Eminem- 97 bonnie and clyde

yup… just the two of us.

Bright Eyes- it’s cool we can still be friends.
Sting- I’ll be missing you

U2’s “The Sweetest Thing” - Please listen to those words - that’s a bitter love song if I ever heard one.

Rapid Hope Loss and This Bitter Pill-Dashboard Confessional..although alot of DC’s early stuff could qualify.

I agre with you (Herschel Alan) REM’s “The One I Love”.
…This one goes out to the one I love, FIRE!….
Yes, I´ve been under the impresion it is about a bullet.
But sometimes its just my mind taking walk in the dark side.

Nope.

Most of Bright Eyes earlier work was seething with love-lorn bitterness.

Kudos to Dusk442 for mentioning Tonio K’s H-A-T-R-E-D, great song. Just about anything on “This Year’s Model” by Elvis Costello. “You’re Breaking My Heart” by Harry Nillsson.

I second lucinda williams–good point

You Cause As Much Sorrow - Sinéad O’Connor
Unsatisfied - Replacements
Hardly Getting Over It - Hüsker Dü

Quite a large topic and lots of good ones brought up.

No one has mentioned Lucinda Williams - she has lots of bitter anger in her catalog. These come to mind:

Joy
Changed the Locks
Come On

guess i’m doing fine - beck

the undisputed angriest ever: “You Oughtta Know.” Hands down.

great calls on all the dylan songs added here!

From my “breakup” playlist:

almost anything by L. Cohen, although I think A thousand kisses deep would be better for “deeply bitter” than famous blue raincoat…

You’re going to make me lonesome when you go–Dylan

Some flowers bloom dead–Wallflowers

It won’t take long–Rolling Stones (particularly great for bitter angry rants)

old 97’s - wish the worst

CHORUS:
I hope you crash your momma’s car.
I hope you pass out in some bar.
I hope you catch some kinda flu.
Let’s say I wish the worst for you.

I hope you’re happy with yourself.
I hope you found somebody else, cause I ain’t askin’ you again.
I just wanna know where you been,

one name: Alanis.

Take ten minutes of your time and listen to these two gems by Bob Dylan;
“Dirge” off of Planet Waves
“Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine” off of Blonde on Blonde.

Pat Travers’ “I’d Rather See You Dead”
’nuff said

Boys Next Door’s “Shivers” (allthough its more whiny than angry)
Maybe/sorta Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy”

How could anyone forget “He stopped loving her today” by George Jones???

- Seen It All Before
- Careless
by Amos Lee
Master of the bitter break-up song

Locomotive/Guns N’ Roses

“Kindness is a treasure-
And it’s one towards me you’ve seldom shown
So I’ll say it for good measure
To all the ones like you I’ve known
Ya know I’d like to shave your head
And all my friends could
paint it red
‘Cause love to me’s a two way street
An all I really want is peace”

“Idiot Wind” by Bob Dylan, “Dead Flowers” by the Stones, and “Come Pick Me Up” by Ryan Adams

U2 - Until the End of the World - Achtung Baby

Seventy Times Seven — Brand New

“Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there’s ice on all the roads and you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt and again when your head goes through the windshield.”

Try to top that for anger.

COME ON PEOPLE!!!! TONY BENNET I WANNA BE AROUND!!!!!!!!!

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who’ll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,
Let’s see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Like you, like you broke mine.

delia’s gone jonhny cash
song for the dumped ben folds
you make me feel like a whore everclear
opiate tool
another good one!!! misfits american nightmare
Hot cherry on Friday night
When the sun goes down my spine
I put an axe in my baby’s head
I’m gonna end up doing time

She looks so good in red
American nightmare running scared

She shoulda been hard to get
She shoulda been hard to kill
She shoulda been hard to kill, hey

I had to split your head
American nighmare running scared

I’m heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the lord don’t get me the devil will
But not without a fight

Does this highway never end
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare running scared

I’m heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the lord don’t get me the devil will
But not without a fight

This highway never fucking ends
American nightmare running scared
Hey, American nightmare running scared

Elvis Costello’s ‘I Want You’

Pearl Jam have some great ones, Corduroy & Rearviewmirror being the angriest and Nothingman, Indifference being the most poignant.

‘My Curse’ - Afghan Whigs

what about ’stuck in a moment ‘ by U2..sums up an end of love story perfectly..

Ummm…. dummies that listed U2 song “With or Without You” have NO COMPREHENSION of the lyrics. Have a clue - think about J.C. - it is NOT an “ANGRY” love song - it makes me angry anyone could even be that clueless! FIGURE IT OUT!

There has been some debate on REM’s “The One I Love”. Is it an “angry” love song? When he sings “This one goes out to the one I love” he’s talking about a bullet. “This one goes out to the one I love - FIRE!” Murder sounds angry to me.

Oscar Diaz I agree with you!! Haha, “Rata de dos patas” is the single BEST angry love song, its even better if you are drunk

and burn in my skin”

1.”Troy” by Sinead O’Connor - talk about angry, but a capella.

2.”Why” by Annie Lennox - keep your big mouth shut, but so sweetly.

3.”Chopsticks” by Liz Phair, let’s just get this over with.

4.”Just a Friend” by Biz Markie, the title says it all.

5.”See You When You’re 40″ by Dido
“Night Moves” by Bob Seger, neither one are in it for love.

6.”Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel, the closest these guys will get to calling a girl a hoe.

7.”Fairytale of New York,” Shane McGowan and Kirsty MacCall. This one’s funny.

8.”Hard Luck Woman” by KISS - might as well have just said, “Sorry babe, better stay in the trailer park.”

9.”Wonderful” by the Circle Jerks. Nuff said here.

10.”Pretty in Pink” by the Psychedelic Furs, poor Caroline is a slut.

you don’t know what love is(you just do what you’re told) - the white stripes
the one i love - REM

and for those who said the song from the wedding singer, how bout that song from old school at the wedding in the begining, … i think it was”turn around” they rocked it

Halloween - Dave Matthews Band

OK, I realize it’s a random album track from a CD that didn’t sell so hot, but I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Health And Happiness, by the Wallflowers. One of the most intensely bitter songs I’ve ever heard. They also did well with I Wish I Felt Nothing.
Also REM’s Make It All Okay: “Jesus loves me fine / And your words fall flat this time”
Ouch.
Til The Day I Die, by Garbage.
And if the rumor about its creation is true, we definitely must include Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight.

lets get it on- Marvin Gaye

Its all about the brits here.

Arctic Monkeys-Do Me a Favour

Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

Everybody Loves You Now by Billy Joel

The nastiest is still H-A-T-R-E-D by Tonio K. In Robert Christgau terminology: Inspirational Verse:

I wish I could be mellow
As for instance Jackson Browne
But Fountain of Sorrow, my ass motherf**ker,
I hope you wind up the ground!”

Ah, Tonio, we hardly knew yee.

Even Deeper from NIN:

i woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where i ran away
it seems everything i’ve heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
sometimes, i have everything-
yet i wish i felt something

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper

and in a dream i’m a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life i feel complete-
and i still want to ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway

i hear them call
i cannot stay
the voice inviting me away

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs…

i’m straight
i won’t crack
on my way
and i can’t turn back
i’m okay
i’m on track
on my way
and i can’t turn back
i stayed
on this track
gone too far
and i can’t come back
i stayed
on this track
lost my way
can’t come back

“get the fuck out” skid row

I don´t agree with “Urgent” being a sad , angry song, I find it erotic instead.
Maybe I´ll have to take a closer look to the lyrics.
The One I love - Deserves to be in this category :“a simple prop to occupy my time” You have to be really angry to say something like that. Do you write a song like that for someone that is just “a simple prop”?
“I Used To Love Her” even if the rumor about the dog is true. Isn´t this a perfect angry song to dedicate to your ex?

What it takes - Aerosmith
Just a car Crash Away - Marilyn Manson (This is a sad song , not so much angry)
Where did you sleep last Night _ Nirvana
- Most of the songs from “Eat Me Drink Me” (Marilyn Manson) fall under this category)

What it takes - Aerosmith

“BUrn by Ray lamontagne!!!… and most definately “stupid kid by alkaline trio”

Of course, Elvis Costello’s “Alison”
“Answering Machine” — The Replacements
“Passion is no Ordinary Word” — Graham Parker
“Heart of Stone” — The Rolling Stones
“It’s Different for Girls” — Joe Jackson
“Train in Vain” — The Clash

sour girl by stone temple pilots. ive got tons of torch songs, but this ones great for the angry ones

Warren Zevon - “Finishing Touches”

Some people like to be punished
They keep coming back for more
But I’m sick and tired
And my cock is sore…

You can screw everybody
I’ve ever known
But I still won’t talk to you
on the phone

Train in Vain- The CLash
Idiot Wind(!) -Bob Dylan
No Expectations- The Stones.

Also,

Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams

Crazy - Willie Nelson/Patsy Cline

Crazy, I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you’d leave me for somebody new

Honorable Mention: One - U2

RYAN ADAMS- COME PICK ME UP
dashboard confessional- screaming infidelities

Guys, guys, I Will Survive by Cake and Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division. Pretty Much anything from Nirvana’s In Utero or Blur’s 13.

Bill Withers: Who is He and What is He to you? (not really any sarcasm but definitely a late night drunk call).

Love Me Tomorrow - Chicago

Untouchable Face by Ani Difranco has to be up there

I lot of good choices here. Layla is not a break up song though. I think the #1 break up /I hate my ex song would have to be In the air tonight by Phil Collins. there are a lot of others as list here but you can feel the distain just listening to this tune.

Two Smiths songs:

“That joke isn’t funny anymore”

“I know it’s over”

Fools all of you for not putting either of these before i did.

You Can’t Do That or Run for Your Life- The Beatles

How about?:
If Love Is A Red Dress (Hang Me In Rags) Maria McKee Lyrics -

My heart is empty.
Your eyes are dull.
Once we were hungry,
Now we are full.
These ties that bind us,
Can’t beat these chains.
If love is shelter,
I’m gonna walk in the rain.

You were my angel.
Now, you are real.
So like a stranger,
Colder than steel.
The morning after,
You know what you bring.
If love is a red dress,
Well, hang me in rags.
My heart is empty.
Your eyes are dull.
Once we were hungry,
Now we are full.
These ties that bind us,
Can’t beat these chains.
If love is shelter,
I’m gonna walk in the rain.

You were my angel.
Now, you are real.
So like a stranger,
Colder than steel.
The morning after,
You know what you bring.
If love is a red dress,
Well, hang me in rags.

Away.
There goes the fairy tale.
Lord, ain’t it a shame?
In all this comfort,
I can’t take the strain.

If we played even,
I’d be your queen.
But someone was cheatin’.
And it wasn’t me.
I’ve laid it on the table,
You held something back.
If love is Aces.
Give me the Jack.

More Anger than Rage, and definately of use for depressed, vodka (straight-from-the-bottle-i-tr ied-to-make-myself-feel-better ) fuelled drunk dialling, is “When I think about you, I touch myself” by The Divynils.

“You oughta know”, Alanis Morissette.

“Where have all the cowboys gone”, Paula Cole.

hang down your head - tom waits

John Prine- All The Best

Coooome oooon!
“Pig” By Nîne Inch Nails, of cooooourse. Too easy.

Only one mention of Positively 4th Street?

John Entwistle; I Feel Better

“When I’m feeling blue
I stick a pin in the picture of you
Beside my bed and I feel better

When I’m feeling sad
I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had
And I feel better.

When I’m feeling great
It’s only because I’m consumed with hate
For you and I feel better.

When I feel alone
I make obscene remarks on the telephone
To you and I feel better.”

And oh yeah, “You Don’t Know What Love is (You Just Do As You’re Told)” by the White Stripes

I agree with Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground by the Stripes. As far as I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself…..It was originally a Burt Bacharach/Hal David Song

OK, Jokes Over - The Dismemberment Plan

surely someone has mentioned joe jackson’s “is she really goin’ out with him”. and randy newman’s “i just want you to hurt like i do”.stones cover of bobby womack’s “it’s all over now” and robert zimmerman’s “it’s all over now, baby blue”

Morphine - Candy(….down in candyland…..)

everything ends - slipknot

Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream, Not About Love, and Get Gone
Tori Amos - Beyond the Pale
Scissor Sisters - Kiss You Off

There must be half a dozen good ones each by Nine Inch Nails and Ani DiFranco too, but I’m having trouble thinking of titles…

Must be collective amnesia night. When “drunk-dialling” my ex-girlfriend, I can’t think of two more appropriate songs than:

With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I waitÖ without you

With or without you
With or without you.

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for youÖ

With or without you
With or without you.
I can’t live with or without you.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you.

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you.

and:

One

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it’s one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it’s too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We’re one, but we’re not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other… one

Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got.
We’re one, but we’re not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we’re not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.

My guess is that these two have been staples of bitter ex-lovers for years.

Heartbreaker - LedZepp
Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana
Wild Horses - Stones

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought REM’s “The One I Love” is NOT an angry lovesong. The line “a simple prop to occupy my time” suggests the guy is only being cruelly sarcastic.
Also: GNR’s “I Used To Love Her” is about a dog that had to be put down because of… heck, I can’t remember.

My contribution: Foo Fighter’s “Best of You” and “The Last Song”, both from 2005’s album “In Your Honor”

Black Keys - The Lengths

train in vain by the clash!!!

there’s no home for you here by the white stripes

You Got Lucky - Tom Petty
Heartbreaker - Zeppelin
Seperate Ways - Journey
Love Stinks - J Geils Band

“You Got Lucky”-Tom Petty

Black–Pearl Jam

if my ex thought “you oughta Know” was a good song I would feel alot better about breaking up with them

YOUR CHEATIN’ HEART! - Hank Williams Sr.!!!

I would have to say Elvis Costello writes the best angry love songs, especially Allison and I would have to say “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” as a mellow angry love song. Also “Elenore” by the Turtles is pretty funny and angry, I think.

Yeah . . . I agree! Train in Vain by the Clash.

TRAIN IN VAIN
TRAIN IN VAIN
TRAIN IN VAIN

somebody got ben folds’ five’s “song for the dumped” in before me so i’ll go to an obscure 80’s song - “the salt in my tears” by martin brilley.

You could throw a rock at the Aimee Mann catalogue and hit one of these songs.

“Choice in the Matter” off of I’m with Stupid.

So row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
I hope you drown and never come up

Famous Blue Raincoat isn’t exactly an angry song, it’s bittersweet and resigned but not angry. He’s writing to his wife’s lover and though he’s sad that she had a lover he acknowledges that he couldn’t make her happy and is thankful that the lover could.

why should i cry for you? Sting
tear in your hand Tori Amos

Tom Petty - Don’t Do Me Like That
Everclear - You Make Me Feel Like A Whore
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror

alanis morissette “You Oughta Know”

wow - how could anyone forget the queen of bitter break-up songs…Aimee Mann?

I like this line from “I Should’ve Known”..

“I knew you would betray me but without the kiss”

How did we all miss “Every Day I love You Less and Less” by the Kaiser Chiefs?
