Halloween-Dave Matthews Band

So many choices… However I have to say one of my favorite and most comforting is an unreleased (if you want it, it can be found) Ryan Adams tune, with him banging the piano, called “God Bless the Week”

an example of the lyrics:

All you wanted from me was nothing
And damn, you gave it to me
Oh, fuck me

God bless the lids on your eyes that you closed when you could have stared
God bless the fumbling tune you sing to yourself when you’re scared
God bless the week
God bless the week
God bless the week you go away

My pick is Never Again by Kelly Clarkson. Someone hurt that girl bad.

Sarah = Bob Dylan

love hurts-nazareth

love hurts-nazareth

note that the “I hate yourself for loving you line” was used in Dylan’s “Dirge” long before Joan Jett “wrote” it.

also note that “Love Hurts” is not only not particularly angry, but was first done by the Everly Brothers, then by Gram Parsons and Emylou Harris, before Nazareth trashed it.

The only couple I can think of at
the moment are-
Your Time Is Gonna Come-Led Zeppelin
Goodbye(Astrid Goodbye)-Cold Chisel

Bourbon

fiona apple’s-limp,and sleep to dream

Kelis- Caught Out There

Hey, you´re forgetting “Hound dog” – in the Big Mama Thornton original; unlike Elvis she really sounds pissed…

John Legend- Used To Love You

So many posts and nary a mention of Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”, one of the most sarcastic, bitter songs ever written.

That’s because GREEN DAY is an abomination.

Butch Walker – “Best Thing You Never Had”

I Don’t think this 1 can be topped!

You oughta know- Alanis Morissette
Take a bow- Madonna

Elvis – Hard Headed Woman

Someone else mentioned “Halloween” by Dave Matthews Band, and I admit I was thinking about that one too. However, it’s not draped in ANY kind of sweetness on the surface. It’s chilling…but then again, that depends how you feel about Dave. (For non-fans, it might be a bit goofy.)

How Do You Sleep? – John (for Paul)

I’m Looking Through You- The Beatles
Delia’s Gone- Johnny Cash

Tina Turner – What’s love got to do with it?
Meredith Brooks – Bitch
Frankee – F**ck you right back

The album “Life in the Foodchain” by Tonio K is chock full of angry love songs. “H-A-T-R-E-D” is the angriest. But “Funky Western Civilization” has the classic line – “Grab your baby by the hair, throw her down and leave her there!”

“Rich Bitch” – The Stooges (…not sure if they ever studio recorded it, but it’s on the live “Metallic KO” album. Absurdly brutal.)

“alt.end” – The Cure

“Stepping Stone” – The Monkees, Sex Pistols, Minor Threat, etc. (Pistols version gets my vote)

“You’re So Vain” – Carly Simon

“Wild Thing” – Sam Kinison

“Lorte Parforhold” by Magtens Korridorer

Now there’s a pissed-off gentleman

Oops! My list is a perfect example of why you should read the ENTIRE explanation of what the list is about. Supposed to sound sweet? Uh…strike all of mine except Carly Simon.

Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before – The Smiths

You’re The One For Me Fatty – Morrissey

Song for the Dumped—Ben Folds Five

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”

sarcastic and bitter? lol
alanis morissette “You Oughta Know”

not his best album, but who hasn’t mentioned…

“somewhat damaged” by NIN

you know…the first song…on the fragile….heh…yeah

Alanis Morrisette – You Oughta Know

“how can i ever think, its funny how everything you swore would never change…is different now”

fuck, i like it.

shorts & curlies – rolling stones
love stinks – j geils

Train in the Distance by Paul Simon. Its All Over Now by Rolling Stones. Those songs have gotten me through some tough times. I bet You Don’t Know What Love Is by The White Stripes will get me through any tough times in the future.

Tom Petty – Don’t Do Me Like That
Everclear – You Make Me Feel Like A Whore
Pearl Jam – Rearviewmirror
Wilco – At Least That’s What You Said

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

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.

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

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.

TRAIN IN VAIN
TRAIN IN VAIN
TRAIN IN VAIN

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

dmb’s ‘halloween’….best line ever ‘tell me are you satisfied with fucking?’

nin’s ’something i cant never have’

Smile- Lily Allen
You Oughta Know- Alanis (obviously)
Song for the Dumped- Ben Folds Five
Limp- Fiona Apple

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.

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

train in vain by the clash!!!

Black Keys – The Lengths

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”

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

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.

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…

everything ends – slipknot

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

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”

OK, Jokes Over – The Dismemberment Plan

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

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

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.”

Only one mention of Positively 4th Street?

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

John Prine- All The Best

hang down your head – tom waits

“Road rage”, Catatonia (”it’s all over the front page, you give me road rage thinking you’re maybe losing your mind”)

“You oughta know”, Alanis Morissette.

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

Love Sick-Bob Dylan
You Dont Know What Love is (You just do as as your told)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Untouchable Face by Ani Difranco has to be up there

Love Me Tomorrow – Chicago

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

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.

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

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

Also,

Summer of 69 – Bryan Adams

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

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

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

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

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

What it takes – Aerosmith

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)

“get the fuck out” skid row

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

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.

lets get it on- Marvin Gaye

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.

Halloween – Dave Matthews Band

kim – eminem
heart shaped box- nirvana
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

The best song is: “Rata de dos patas”, offcourse for people who speak spanish!.

I feel you on the Kaiser Chiefs…

“Everyday I love you less and less.

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.

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

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.

you cant change me by chris cornnell

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!

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

‘My Curse’ – Afghan Whigs

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.

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

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)

great calls on all the dylan songs added here!

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

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

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

I second lucinda williams–good point

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.

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

But sometimes its just my mind taking walk in the dark side.

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

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

Robbie Williams – Karma Killer.

(and also “No Regrets”)

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.

The Mountain Goats – No Children

Def “I’m Gonna Find Another You” by john Mayer

ugly kid joe

Well, I’d say that “Wish” by Nine Inch Nails fits the bill.

Here’s how the song goes:
“Wish”

this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there’s nothing more f***ed up i could do
wish there was something real
wish there was something true
wish there was something real
in this world full of you
i’m the one without a soul
i’m the one with this big f****ng hole
no new tale to tell
twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist f**k
don’t think you’re having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone

wish there was something real
wish there was something true
wish there was something real
in this world full of you

i want to but i can’t turn back
but i want to

Come on people, one of the greatest break songs This love, pantera!!!

I think Bob Dylan is the greatest.
