Songs that say "I'm glad to be rid of you"...

[Tref]

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."

[MerryPrankster]

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!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

"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.

[BarTopDancer]

Take this clip of [Kiss Him] Goodbye

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
[repeat many times and fade out]

and record it over and over and over again.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Patty Smyth
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

[AllyOops!]

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!

(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

[Mr. Fusion]

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!"

He stole my suggestion!

My only other thought,
The Damage is Done - Foreigner
