and how about Hank's Your Cheatin Heart.

How about Hank in general eh? Can't beat the Hank. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers all go "Fuck me, that's fucking good" when they hear Hank.

Amen

I agree with the sentiment, but Dolly wouldn't use that language, for sure.

You're right, she wouldn't; well, at least in public. I love Dolly.

Swears like a cunt in private, you mark my words.

one thing i've learned is that, like Dolly, you are a very funny and clever man (for Dolly, make that "woman"). So no need for the c's and f's.

You're most kind. But I like swearing. It's big, and it's clever.

blondie - heart of glass

Good call. Man, I love that song.

Anthrax by Gang Of Four

"love is like a case of anthrax,
and that's something I don't wanna catch"

Gang of Four- Anthrax
Tom Waits- I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You

The Mountain goats - No children

I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Hank ftw.


The first song that popped into my head was Belle and Sebastian's "I Don't Love Anyone."

nick cave and the bad seeds -

let love in
where the wild roses grow
henry lee
into my arms
do you love me
babe i got you bad

Lets go with Bob Dylans Lovesick. Dont really like Bob, but this is a great song.

"Lover I Don't Have To Love" by Bright Eyes:

'Love's an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt
Do you like to hurt?
"I do, I do"
Then hurt me'

or their song 'Ship In A Bottle':

'Don't you love what is intangible
I have built this ship in a wine bottle
But if you knew who I was
You would never grow old'

Actually.. yeah.. just everything they (well, Conor) ever wrote was cynical.

Good call, totally forgot about that song.

Holly Golightly : I Can't Be Trusted ("All the time I'm on your mind, you should try to find another, in the back of my neck is no kindness, only lies as you'll discover, I can't be trusted, why won't you see, I won't give you anything, anything but misery")

Les Calamités : Pas la peine (my favourite French band; the singer is tired of her boyfriend and tries to find a cool way to get rid of him without being mean; so she starts doing things that would eventually lead him to say it's over; it works, she's happy happy happy, but all of a sudden he comes back because he feels good by her side; as the more she acted like a stupid girl, the more he believed he was way superior to her; in the end she questions her tactics, saying that it had not been worth the pain)

Adrienne Pauly : J'veux un mec (where she says that she can't care less about your thoughts, friends, job, gym, backache, soul, wife, shrink, all she wants is you to make love to her properly, no flowers but kisses, can't care less about your mom who left you, your dad who left you, your ex who haunts you, your motorbike that's bothering you and so on)

The Shams (with Sue Garner) : Love Me with Your Mind ("I know that you can procreate but can you truly conjugate?" among other things)

Male singers are far less cynical as I couldn't find any...
