Other than "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band, I nominate:

- "I don't mind if you forget me" (Morrissey)
- "Is that all there is?" (Peggy Lee)
- "Letter to Judy" or "Song for the Dumped" (Ben Folds)

There are several on the album " Featuring Birds" by Quasi, including "I never want to see you again" and "The Poisoned Well"

Choice lines:

"We purchase pleasure, and pay for it with hurt ... and we rarely get our money's worth"

"Die of thirst or drink up from the Poisoned Well"

Ah, bitterness. Visit, but don't stay long.

"Red Rubber Ball" by Simon and Garfunkel/The Cyrkel

Very passive-aggressive.

The correct answer is:

No Children (The Mountain Goats)

"I am drowning / There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me / Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die"

The answer is ALSO:

(Love Like) Anthrax - Gang of Four

"I'm Outta Here" by Sugar Shack. Middle-fingers straight-up as you head out the door. 90s Houston punk at its finest, and a sentiment I'm sure we've all shared.

"You Don't Know What Love Is" 1941 by Don Raye with lyrics by Gene De Paul. Most famously sung by Billie Holiday 1958.

"Anyone who had a heart" (Dionne Warwick)

Most of Elvis Costello's catalog (in particular, "I want you" from Blood and Chocolate and "Living in Paradise" from This Year's Model)

(Previously, way back in 2005. Definitely worthy of a revisit.)

Cee-lo's "Fuck You" is a solid contender.

-Carly Simon: You're So Vain
-Simon & Garfunkel: 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
-Joan Armatrading: Me, Myself, I
-and let's not forget the folk song Tom Dooley, which chronicles the 1866 murder of a woman.

Oh, and the Rolling Stones' Under My Thumb. Very unromantic.

I'm going to go with "One Less Bell to Answer" by the Fifth Dimension and "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette

I so so so agree with Steven.

"Somebody more like you" by Nickel Creek

"I hope you finally find someone
Someone that you trust
And give him everything
I hope you meet someone your height
So you can see eye-to-eye
With someone as small as you"

You're no Good by Linda Ronstadt or Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove it by Belle & Sebastian

I prefer weepy to angry anti-love songs.

Willie Nelson's "Heartaches of a Fool" is good for a bottle of wine-induced rememberance of love lost. Phosphorescent did a really pretty cover of it.
