Songs of Hate & Pain Vol.1

idiot wind - bob dylan

Anything off The Cure's "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me". Actually, anything by The Cure, really.

'Sister Morphine'

Anything by Nine Inch Nails but especially 'The Downward Spiral'?

"Nazi Punks, Fuck off" - The Dead Kennedys
"Your pretty face is going to hell" - Iggy and the Stooges!

Sister xx

Must agree, 'Hurt' from that album, or even Johnny Cash's cover version.

Peter Hammill would be there for me too, 'The Lie (Bernini's St. Theresa)' from 'The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage' would be a good start.

Both are on the NIN and Hammill are on the pain side more than hate.

Didn't Kelis do a song called 'I hate you so much'? I think that might qualify.

I think this one might qualify...

Hatesong - Porcupine Tree (From Lightbulb Sun)

and somewhere between hate and pain...

Flaw - Todd Rundgren (From Liars)
Relationship gone bad with the line - "So why you gotta be a lyinass motherfu*ker"

Your Dictionary - XTC (From Apple Venus Vol. 1)

Jacques Brel: Ne me quitte pas
The Cure: Close to me
The Rolling Stones: Yesterday's papers

Quasi - California

So good.

***************************

Life is dull, life is grey:
At its best it's just OK.
But I'm happy to report
Life is also short.
So I find myself back in California -
I'm a coolie for the tourists,
those happy Epicureans:
Evil spectres from my own suburban upbring.
As I reveal points of interest, I can chat so pleasantly,
But it's hard to be cheerful when you feel so hopeless
And there's no reason for this dark mood.
It will pass; it will return, but will I ever learn ?
And the children of privilege begging for my spare change.
Do they need my assistance to purchase their intoxicants,
or would they best be served a swift kick
Slowly sinking in the vast ambivalent sea of California

John Lennon, Mother.

A great choice - Françoise Hardy is highly underrated in England and a great singer.

When I was waiting in a bar, where were you?
When I was buying you a drink, where were you?
When I was crying at home in bed, where were you?


The Mekons

I'm sure there are many Nick Cave examples.

I'd forgotten that one - superbly pithy song on a superb record.

"Song for the dumped" : Ben Folds Five
Lots of hate'n'pain on this tune.


1,2,3,4
So you wanted
to take a break
slow it down some and
have some space
well fuck you too

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
to give me back my black T-shirt

I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
right before you
dumped me on your front porch

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
to give me back my black T-shirt
hey, hey

So you wanted
to take a break
slow it down some and
have some space

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget

From this album.
