What's your favourite 'I hate my ex' song?

Dylan - Don't Think Twice

Johnny Cash - Delia's Gone

Random Rules by The Silver Jews has a bit of an interesting take on it;

"But nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed
and that's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said:

"Yeah, you look like someone
Yeah you look like someone who up and left me low.
Boy, you look like somene I used to know."

I asked the painter why the roads are colored black.
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
and no highway will bring them back."
So if you don't want me I promise not to linger,
But before I go I gotta ask you dear about the tan line on your ring finger."

Thats not an 'I hate my ex' song! Its about being in love with the wrong person, like it says on the tin.

See:

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse
 
No-one has said 36 Degrees by Placebo? I heard that song years before I even had an ex, and I don't even have any exes I hate, but it's still a superb track to keep in reserve :)

With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
 
No Children - Mountain Goats.


That's the one for me too. Awesome.

That and The Offspring - Dirty Magic :o

And of course Shellac - Prayer To God, which is just so beautifully angry and captures all my bitterness and resentment perfectly.

edit: but I don't really hate any of my exes.
