Brett Eugene Ralph beat me to it (strangely, he often does), but this is indeed an awesome choice. The song just goes on and on...and on, upping the purgative bitterness in every verse.

Not a break-up song exactly, but I think 'Just Like a Cunt' by Whitehouse would go down a treat.

You'll never be the same again
Fucking stereotype
You take just like a cunt
Cunt fucks just like a cunt
You ache just like a cunt
A cunt like you
Fucking stereotype
Listen to the sound of being alive
Look at yourself, cunt

etc.

You need to turn the tables. Write a fawning post about Bob Seger on this thread, quick!

DAMN YOU PHANTOM SPACEMAN!

I would go and see a band called 'Fuck You Imaginary Girlfriend'.

A couple more to the list:

Beatles, "For No One" (Good Lord, so depressing)

Smiths, "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" (a gay friend liked referring to Morrissey in this song as "oh God, he's so fagulous")

Richard and Linda Thompson, "Shoot Out The Lights" (well, add the entire album Shoot Out The Lights - divorce album)

Marianne Faithfull, "Why D'Ya Do It?" (...the lyrics are pretty vicious even nowadays)

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart right out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you

"The Buck Starts Here" by Robbie Fulks

Or, for that matter, Buck Owens himself. I really like "Close Up The Honky-tonks"

The Wedding Present's Seamonsters is my all time favorite breakup record.

Most of their records will do the trick, but that one in particular gets me all balled up like Elisabeth Shue in the shower.

I've had a few beers.

She was sooo freaky hot.

Dirt- Iggy and the Stooges

Why?
Cos it makes me bitter and happy about being bitter.
