Songs that say "I'm glad to be rid of you"...
My court date to try and amend the child/spousal support is on Thursday. On that day, Mr. Ass wants the Jetta back.
*shrug* I plan on giving it back to him on Thursday. But, as a parting gift, I plan on leaving a CD in the changer with some choice songs. Some of the things that my friend and I have thought up so far are: Tainted Love by Soft Cell (I hate) Everything about You by Ugly Kid Joe etc... If you have any ideas, throw em here! Thanks!! |
One song you may like is Tina Turner's 'When The Heartache Is Over':
" Time to move on with my life now Leaving the past all behind I can make my own decisions It was only a matter of time Sometimes I look back in anger Thinking about all the pain But I know that I'm stronger without you And that I'll never need you again When the heartache is over I know I won't be missing you Won't look over my shoulder Cause I know that I can live without you " |
Quote:
"You Oughta Know" I want you to know, that I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she perverted like me Would she go down on you in a theatre Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able To make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, till you died But you're still alive..... |
How about Green Day's "Good Riddance"
Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go So make the best of this test And don't ask why It's not a question But a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs And still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf of Good health and good time Tattoos of memories And dead skin on trial For what it's worth It was worth all the while It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life Or, you could always go with GLoria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" |

Leave Disco 30 years in the past where it belongs. :cool: |
How about Ben Folds' "Song for the Dumped"? Though it's not appropriate for your situation per se, it does say "I'm glad to be rid of you."
So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some and have some space Well **** you too Give me my money back Give me my money back you bitch I want my money back (And don't forget to give me back my black T-Shirt) I wish I hadn't bought you dinner Right before you dumped me on your front porch Give me my money back Give me my money back You bitch I want my money back and don't forget... |

Also, though they're not gender appropriate, but I still crank them up and shout, er, sing along: I Used to Love Her ~Guns 'N Roses Don't Go Away Mad ~Motley Crue |
The Real Tuesday Weld - (Still) Terminally Ambivalent Over You
|
This Love - Pantera 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 -- (Chorus) You keep this love, thing, child, toy You keep this love, fist, scar, 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 -- (Chorus) No more head trips |
How about...
Like It Or Not, by Genesis Ah, don't you know, I've been on my own But I'm coming home. And I'd like you to be there, I feel a little cold in the air, And you're not anywhere. You're just another face, I used to know. But there is still a chance to hold on to our love, 'Cos I gave you everything, everything I had. Ooh, like it or not You have done it this time And like it or not, I've had enough. Ooh, like it or not There's a lot I could say 'Cos I've got a lot on my mind. It won't be very long You're just another face That I once used to know And I gave you everything, But what have I got to show? Oh Oh Oh, like it or not You are out on the street And like it or not That's where you will stay. Oh, like it or not There's another thing darling, Well I just could not stand another day 'Cos if you want to know, That there is still a chance to hold on to our love 'Cos I gave you everything Everything I had - Everything I had. It's been a long, been a long long time Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone. Oh it's been a long, been a long long long time But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway? It's been a long long long long time Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone. Ooh it's been a long long long long time But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway? Ooh it's been a long long long long time Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone. Oh it's been a long, been a long long long time I'm right, if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway? It's been a long long, long long long time Since I held anybody, since I held anyone. |
Only one song is needed, but it should be repeated the length of the CD -- this is supposed to annoy the poor chap, am I correct? Then trust me. The song in question is a bouncy little pop ditty titled, You're Breaking My Heart, by the late great Harry Nilsson (with Harisong on guitar)
(singing) "You're breaking my heart You tore it apart So F*** you." |
Song: Im Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair - Rodgers and Hammerstein (Featuring libraryvixen as Nellie, Girls: everyone else) Nellie: I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, And send him on his way. I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms, Nellie and Girls: I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms, I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms, And send him on his way. Don't try to patch it up Girls: Tear it up, tear it up! Nellie: Wash him out, dry him out, Girls: Push him out, fly him out, Nellie: Cancel him and let him go! Girls: Yea, sister! Nellie: I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, And send him on his way. If a man don't understand you, If you fly on separate beams, Waste no time, make a change, Ride that man right off your range. Rub him out of the roll call And drum him out of your dreams. Girls: Oho! If you laugh at different comics, If you root for different teams, Waste no time, weep no more, Show him what the door is for. Rub him out of the roll call And drum him out of your dreams. Nellie: You can't light a fire when the woods are wet, Girls: No! Nellie: You can't make a butterfly strong, Girls: Hmm, hmm! Nellie: You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good, Girls: And you can't fix a man when he's wrong! Nellie: You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower, Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour Girls: Oh no! Oh no! Nellie and Girls: If his eyes get dull and fishy, When you look for glints and gleams, Waste no time, Make a switch, Drop him in the nearest ditch! Rub him out of the roll call, And drum him out of your dreams Oho! Oho! Nellie: I went to wash that man right outa my hair, I went to wash that man right outa my hair, I went to wash that man right outa my hair, And sent him on his way. Girls: She went to wash that man right outa my hair, She went to wash that man right outa my hair, She went to wash that man right outa my hair, Nellie and Girls: And send him on his way!

"U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D" from Starlight Express (it's a train motif using Country Western pastiche):
I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. I can't bring myself to say it. No siree. I'm a carriage with no marriage I'm a van without a man I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. Was I corroded or overloaded? Maybe I shamed him Who could have blamed him? If he thought me second-class Went in search of chrome and brass Went to find some other fool like me. And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. I can't seem to stop C.R.Y.I.N.G. People look and me and think, "There she goes the missing link" She's been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. But I'll get my R.E.V.E.N.G.E. He'll come crawling back one day And I'll turn to him and say, "Go away, you B.A.S.T.A.R.D." - - - - - A couple by Eurythmics: "You Hurt Me (And I Hate You)" Well the sun came up this morning Like a burning red balloon. It broke into my window And it slipped across the room. It spread itself upon me Like the smell of sweet perfume. I was sleeping like a baby. I'm not a saviour I'm not a saint I'm not an angel I'm not that quaint Don't need a preacher To be that wise. Don't need a teacher I've got my eyes. You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me A history of bitterness You have left a blazing trail. If you had been a hammer I'd be a broken nail. You gave me nothing Nothing but regrets. Don't think it's over It's not over yet. You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me. And everytime You try to fool yourself You've only got yourself To blame. And every lie you ever Told yourself Will all come back to you One day. - - - - - "Thorn In My Side" Thorn in my side. You know that’s all you ever were. A bundle of lies. You know that’s all that it was worth. I should have known better But I trusted you at first. I should have known better But I got what I deserved. To run away from you Was all that I could do. To run away from you Was all that I could do. Thorn in my side. You know that’s all you’ll ever be. So don’t think you know better ’cause that’s what you mean to me. I was feeling complicated. I was feeling low. Now everytime I think of you I shiver to the bone. |

GOODBYE TO YOU! Those times I waited for you seem so long ago I wanted you far too much to ever let you go You know you never got by "I feel it too" And I guess I never could stand to lose It's such a pity to say Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too These last few weeks of holding on The days are dull, the nights are long Guess it's better to say Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you 'Cause baby it's over now No need to talk about it It's not the same My love for you's just not the same And my heart, and my heart And my heart can't stand the strain And my love, and my love And my love won't stand the pain And my heart, and my heart And my heart can't stand the strain And my love, and my love And my love... Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too These last few weeks of holding on The days are dull, the nights are long Guess it's better to say Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Goodbye baby So long darling Goodbye to you Check out this site for more: http://breakup-songs.com/movingonsongs.html |
Here are a few songs that I think fit! Plus, I always listen to these following songs for soothing my blues. They always, always give me a boost and lift me up. In fact, I'm sure a few of these lyrics have worked their way into my Sig at some point. I know Linda's did! :D
(I've typed just a few lyrics, since I was afraid my post might be too long! Oops! However, the entire lyrics in each of these songs is worth checkin' out! ;)) Your'e No Good~ Linda Ronstadt Feeling better now that we're through Feeling better 'cause I'm over you I learned my lesson, it left a scar Now I see how you really are You're no good.... Baby you're no good Stronger~Britney Spears Hush, just stop There’s nothing you can do or say, baby I’ve had enough I’m not your property as from today, baby You might think that I won't make it on my own But now I’m stronger than yesterday Now it’s nothing but my way....Here I go, on my own I don’t need nobody, better off alone.... I'm Alive~ Heather Nova ..You were half charmer half snake I lived in dreamtime.. But I'm alive I survived you And the bitter taste The years I wasted All the hate is gone 'Cause I'm alive I still have visions of you I still have nights to get through And when the trust isn't true I have these visions of you I'm Still Standing~ Elton John (I typed all of the lyrics on this one!) You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now |
No song suggestions here (well, maybe "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks), but you should include a track with a sound byte from Ace Ventura:
"Warning: assholes are closer than they appear!" |

My only other thought, The Damage is Done - Foreigner |

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. All were inspirational and empowering!!
Zappop, instead of Gloria Gaynor, the band Cake will be singing "I will Survive" ;) |
My Give A Damn's Busted by Jo Dee Messina is a huge hit on country radio right now--and it's the perfect song for your CD! Part of the lyrics:
Well you filled up my head With so many lies Twisted my heart 'Til something snapped inside I'd like to give it one more try But my give a damn's busted You can crawl back home Say you were wrong Stand out in the yard And cry all night long Go ahead and water the lawn My give a damn's busted (chorus) I really wanna care I wanna feel something Let me dig a little deeper No, sorry...nothing You can say you've got issues You can say you're a victim It's all your parents fault After all, you didn't pick them Maybe somebody else has got time to listen My give a damn's busted |
Damn, missed this thread....didn't realize there was a deadline in it.
Anyway, I'd add one of my absolute favorite Violent Femmes songs, Kiss Off. 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 loneliness 6 6 6 for my sorrow and 7 7 for n-n-n-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!!! I just love yelling the last bit....;) |
