Best DIVORCE songs!

[Indiana Sev]

I always see these love song and wedding song threads, but what if you're getting a divorce from someone?

What song would you dedicate to your "worst half" for that oh-so special occassion when he or she is trying to suck you dry and take the kids, the dog and most importantly your DVD's!!!!! :eek:

I'll go with these two for now...

The Lady Is A Tramp ~ Frank Sinatra

Bitch ~ Meredith Brooks

More to come...

[BakeTheMooCow]

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

[PapaJupe2k]

Guns'n'Roses- I used to love her (but I had to kill her):D

[Indiana Sev]

(You're The) Devil In Disguise ~ Elvis Presley

Liar ~ Three Dog Night

[QUENTIN]

I always dug the deep lyrics to "Songs For The Dumped" by Ben Folds.... "Give me my money back, give me my money back, give me my money back you bitch... and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt."

"Four Little Diamonds" by ELO, "Most of The Time" by Dylan, "Wide World" by Cat Stevens, "My Immortal" by Evanescence, "Black Books" by Nils Lofgren, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" by Nirvana are all good songs post-breakup I imagine it works for divorces too, especially the first one.

April Skies by The Jesus & Mary Chain

hey honey what you trying to say
as i stand here
don't you walk away
and the world comes tumbling down
hand in hand in a violent life
making love on the edge of a knife
and the world comes tumbling down
and it's hard
for me to say
and it's hard
for me to stay
i'm going down
to be by myself
i'm going back
for the good of my health
and there's one thing
i couldnt do
sacrifice myself to you
sacrifice
baby baby i just can't see
just what you mean to me
i take my aim and i fake my words
i'm just your long time curse
and if you walk away
i can't take it
but that's the way that you are
and that's the things that you say
but now you've gone too far
with all the things you say
get back to where you come from
i can't help it
under the april skies
under the april sun
sun grows cold
sky gets black
and you broke me up
and now you won't come back
shaking hand, life is dead
and a broken heart
and a screaming head
under the april sky

[Morgana]

You're History - Shakespeare's Sister

[Annie Hall]

More of a somber divorce song, but I think it rather works for all discombobulated relationships

Black Star--Radiohead

I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home

The troubled words of a troubled mind I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake but its 58 hours since that I last slept with you
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home

I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you
I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
This is killing me
This is killing me

[Dignan]

Here here is my personal favorite song about divorce, and lyrics to boot!:

"Fair"- Ben Folds

He shouted out his last word, and he
stumbled through the yard, And she
shattered her last china plate and
spun off in the car, When he

lunged onto the hood she stopped to
tell him she'd been wrong, He was
thrown head over heels into the
traffic coming on, But then

all is fair, All is fair in love.
Yeah well, all is fair, all is fair in loave

So did you get my other letters? Sometimes I
think I oughta call, 'Cause you
know I often wonder if you
open them at all, Every

couple nights or so you know you
pop into my dreams, I just
can't get rid of you like
you got rid of me,

Ah, but I send my best
'cause God knows you've
seen my worst, Yeah, well

all is fair, All is fair in love.
Because, all is fair, all is fair in love
Tell me, all is fair, all is fair in love.
Won't you tell me, all is fair, all is fair in love.

Some people keep it in,
guilty for being better than everyone else
guilty sense, of course, the rest of use are jeoulous
You think you're ??? when you're only been selflish

Always breathing in, never breathin out,
Always breathing in, never breathin out

All is fair in love,
Am I right?
Am I right?

I'm lonely and I'm right
I'm lonely and I'm right, so what?

************

Good stuff, if I do say so myself.

And the review from a bloke who bought the 'Divorce Songs For Him' CD...

"Grab a six pack of Bud and a bag of chips. Get in your favorite barkoliner with your TV remote. There's no one to stop you now."


:D :D :D

[BadCoverVersion]

Walk Like a Panther - The All Seeing I

Marie has set up home
with a man half my age
a half-wit in a leotard
stands on my stage

The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight

The old home town just looks the same
like a derelict man who has died out of shame
like a jumble sale left out in the rain
it's not good
it's not right

The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight

Where did you leave your self respect
you look like a reptile
your house is a wreck
your existence an insult
and stains that are suspect
cover your clothes

The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear

Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
walk like a panther tonight
to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther...


Miles better than the whiny Pretenders version about "Miguel".
