Song to the Siren, obv

Either version, except I think the Tim Buckley version has a line about being as puzzled as an oyster or something. So best stick with the This Mortal Coil version.

- Or
  
  the Chemical Brothers version. Or the Half Man Half Biscuit Peel session where they segue it into 'Vatican Broadside'.

COMES UNDONE, by Pris_

www.myspace.com/pristheband

Seriously, I listened to this non stop during the most painful and awful break up I have ever been through - and then, wierdly, ended up joining the band... it's all about lies... LIES (the song)...

Have a listen, anyhow...

(wow, the ultimate JAG but I actually say this to everyone who has gone through a break up.. and that is a true fact...)

fuck it (I don't want you back).

"Fuck what I said it dont mean shit now
Fuck the presents might as well throw em out
Fuck all those kisses, they didn't mean jack
Fuck you, you hoe, I dont want you back"

Amazing.

LAST GOODBYE

Jeff Buckley

Put it on repeat for a couple of days,

alternate between:
singing along feeling like he wrote the song for you,
crying uncontrollably
and drinking white wine.

Works wonders.

Jane Doe

by Converge. The entire album.
You can't hear many of the words but you can tell that HE'S PISSED OFF and IT'S ABOUT THE BREAK-UP OF A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP.
Also, on one of the songs, it clearly goes "No love! No hope!" So most of us will feel right at home.
