Weird Al's "One More Minute" break up song is a classic.

Well I heard that youre leavin (leavin)
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that Im 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)

Thats right (thats right) you aint gonna see me cryin
Im glad (Im glad) that you found somebody new
cause Id 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 Im 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 aint (you aint) gonna break my heart in two
cause Id rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

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

Oh, cant you see what Im tryin to say, darlin...

Id rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
Id rather clean all the bathrooms in grand central station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

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

Id rather rip my heart 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

I keep thinking about the first date
Driving around looking for a parkin space
We had a lot in common, But at the same time we worlds apart
We walked through the park, Had nice talks and all that
I wonder what it was that made you fall back
I wonder what it was but I won’t dwell on that
We never hung out that much but still, when we did hang out the whole vibe was chill
I miss your goodnight kisses for real, I miss your goodnight kisses for real…

moment of truth

Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
You may not know the harships people don't speak of
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
For we all must meet our moment of truth

Snippet from "Ocean Breathes Salty" - Modest Mouse. I dig their ambiguous, sarcastic lyrical style.

Well That Is That And This Is This
Will You Tell Me What You Saw And Ill Tell You What You Missed
When The Ocean Met The Sky
You Missed When Time And Life Shook Hands And Said Goodbye
When The Earth Folded In On Itself And Said:
"Good Luck For Your Sake I Hope Heaven And **** Are Really There, But I
Wouldnt Hold My Breath"
You Wasted Life, Why Wouldnt You Waste Death?

Gary Jules didn't write mad world, Tears for Fears wrote it. It was on their debut album "The Hurting" in 1982. And the original may sound dated, but it has all the soul Gary Jules left out.

I love Pearl Jam. Great band. I think this song is very interesting.
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
Oooh~ ooooh~

"MacArthur Park is melting in the dark/ All the sweet, green icing flowing down/ Someone left the cake out in the rain/ I don't think that I can take it/ 'Cause it took so long to bake it/ And I'll never have that recipe again/ Oh, no!"

I think they are the stupidest lyrics in the history of the world.
Mind you Weird Al's parody of it is about 1000% better.

I've been listening to John Cale's "'Hallelujah" lately, the second verse really strikes me:

"Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah"

"Dreaming" by OMD (I just dated myself...oops)

If you were born in heaven girl
I'd understand so well
But ever since I met you child
You've made my life such ****
With every day that passes
I fall nearer to the ground
It seems that I've been looking for
Something that won't be found

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Could this be the new answer then
To all the dreams we've made
Could there be some solution please
To rid me of this craze
But every single second that you
Hold me in your arms
You build me up you raise me up
You kill me with your charms

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Won't you stay here tonight?
Won't you make these feelings last?
Can't we start this all again?
Would that be just too much to ask?

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye
