All the Rage by Elvis Costello holds a special place in my heart:

 

The twitching impulses to speak your mind

I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it

Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face

Where you keep my picture still despite the fact that you had me replaced?

 

Say "Goodbye"

Baby can't you act your age?

You know why

I'm going to give it to you straight

Although I'll never be

Unhappy as you want me to be

Still it's all the rage

 

I'll probably play along

Left to my own devices

Spare me the drone of your advice

The sins of garter and gin

Confession may delay

You know the measuring pole

The merry boots of clay

I've heard it all before

You'll say it anyway

 

Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief

You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief

So don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think

And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink

The Saints - Know your product:

 

 

Know your product

Yeah

All right

Sing it up, west coast

Too much!

 

I'm just sitting in my chair when a voice comes on the air

Says "Why don't you try it? You'll feel allright!"

"Got some great new brand of smokes

"Cool your head and clear your throat

"Keeps you young and so in touch."

 

Cheap advertising, you're lying

Never gonna get me what I want

I said, smooth talking, brain washing

Ain't never gonna get me what I need

 

"Our new soap that's peachy keen saves your soul and keeps you clean

"It's recommended, used by the queen

"Gonna improve your IQ, help in everything you do

"It's economic, don't cost too much."

 

Said advertising, you're lying

Never gonna give me what I want

I said, smooth talking, brain washing

Ain't never gonna get me what I need

 

I said take it,

Come on,

Soul man.

Let's shoot the professor!

Alright!

Where's the professor?

We need him now!

Gonna tell you 'bout them

Yeah we take it all the way 'round the world

For that west coast feel

Yeah man.

It's not what you love

Look out on the radio

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah...

I've always felt that Idiot Wind was the meanest song I ever heard.

Nice call. I'm not gonna go wade back through the thread but I was just gonna post Positively 4th Street.

Listened to this today, and thought that it was a pretty good one:

 

Luke Doucet - "Broken One"

One day you're gonna miss me.

One day you're gonna wake up cold.

Then you'll wish that you could kiss me when you're old and you're alone.

So cry if you want to.

Yeah, you can come undone

But you've gotta have a heart to have a broken one.

 

You can take your accusations.

You can have all your records back.

You can have an opinion or a heart attack,

'cause if you lose a kindred spirit, you'll find another one.

But you've gotta to pull the trigger to have a smoking gun.

Oh my girl, it must be so tight in your skin 'cause there's no room to breathe- this fantasy you're living in.

I need a new perpective, I need a fresh start.

I need a girl like you like a stolen car because we all love the joyride until you wind up dead.

You see, you don't need a heart to have a swollen head

Don't know if anybody here has heard of them but there are a great U.K band called 'Archive' who had a track out titled 'F**k You' a couple of years ago. Definately worth checking the band out. They started out as a trip-hop type outfit and have kind of morphed into a progessive/electronia outfit. Their latest tune 'bullets' is awesome and is on youtube for anyone interested.

XTC - Your Dictionary

 

H-A-T-E

Is that how you spell love in your dictionary

K-I-C-K

Pronounced as kind

F-U-C-K

Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary

Black on black

A guidebook for the blind

 

Well now that I can see my eyes won't weep

Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap

Now that I can talk all your corn I'll reap

I'm not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary

There are no words for me inside your dictionary

 

S-L-A-P

Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary

C-O-L-D

Pronounced as care

S-H-I-T

Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary

Four-eyed fool

You led 'round everywhere

 

Now that I can see it's the queen's new clothes

Now that I can hear all your poison prose

Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze

I'm not so sure of Santa or the buck tooth fairy

There are no words for me inside your dictionary

 

Now your laughter has a hollow ring

But the hollow ring has no finger in

So let's close the book and let the day begin

And our marriage be undone

I love the songs I naturally gravitate toward at the end of relationships, without being conscious of their message. The last two months of my last relationship, I was playing "Making Love With You" by the Old 97's non-stop. The relationship prior to that, I couldn't stop listening to "I'm Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You," by the Silver Jews. Not a "fuck you" song, unless you listen to it in the context of getting back into yourself after getting out of the Relationship From Hell.

Have I suggested Fear's "I Don't Care About You (Fuck You!)"? If not, then fuck me.

Great pick.

 

I have a couple more:

 

Johnny & June Carter Cash - "Jackson"

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,

We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.

I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,

Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,

Look out Jackson town.

 

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.

Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,

You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!

Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.

See if I care.

 

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)

All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,

I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.

'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.

"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

 

But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.

They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,

With your tail tucked between your legs,

You're goin' to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.

And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,

 

Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,

We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.

I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.

Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.

 

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout'

And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...

The Format - "The Compromise"

You, you think its cool to be crazy,

I say "you're born rich? stay rich."

There's no point in taking chances.

 

And me, I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump

No, I'd say I’m one step closer to bein' just where I want to be.

 

Away from this scene,

Away from this machine

Alright!

 

So meet me in the middle

well, come on, let's make up a dance

and we'll agree to call it the compromise.

 

Step one:

Find a partner, grab a pen

and don't you dare ask questions just sign on the dotted line.

 

Step two:

Throw your partner behind a desk

where they'll do absolutely nothing

so it's your job to dance and smile

the whole time.

 

Well, don't call it a trend,

'cause it's the only way we think to get ahead.

 

So meet me in the middle

well, come on, let's make up a dance

and we'll agree to call it the compromise.

 

There's no sense in complaining.

If it doesn't change our minds.

Well, take me by the hand let's compromise.

 

I can feel your feet touching mine.

If you can't dance, there's someone else in line!

Didn't post here when this thread started but my first reaction was "Idiot Wind," which by the second or third post had already been mentioned. And, yes, "Positively 4th St." comes next. No one spews eloquent bile like Bob Dylan, and I realize i am not the only one who knows this. This discouraged me from reading through the next 7 pages, so if I am repeating, forgive me. Other ideas include Johnny Cash "Mean Eyed Cat," Ween "Baby Bitch," Replacements "Waitress in the Sky"
