Best All-time Breakup Songs and Breakup Song Lyrics!!!!!

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Procol Harum

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more....... 8)

"You've Got a New Favorite" by AKUS
I've had "I Can't Make You Love Me....(I think that's the title of the song) by Bonnie Rait, stuck in my head for a while today.

" I'm Keeping Your Poop " -Hayseed Dixie ...A classic break up tune. This is the chorus....

I'm keeping your poop in a jar,
so I can remember just what you are...
I'm keepin' your poop in a jar

Send me that CD, Zen. Immediately. I must have that.

I don't think this one has a title, but it's Burton Cummings doing a lounge lizard act with MacLean&MacLean.

Since you lost your hands at the factory,
seems you can't get me off no more,
The honeymoon is over,
Your rusty hooks fell on the floor,

Oh baby keep those rusty hooks away,
You almost ripped it off yesterday,

oh baby, baby keep those rusty hooks away,
or else you'll rip it off today.

Just to continue on missile's downward spiral, here's the opening couplet from The Happy Mondays' "Kinky Afro":

"Son, I'm thirty
I only went with your mother 'cos she's dirty ..."

Isn't it kind of inevitable that some break-up songs are going to be nasty, missile?

BATON ROUGE
You're so Vain

by Carly Simon

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

(chorus)
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

(chorus)

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

(chorus)
