Breakup songs

BJ Thomas. Someboday done somebody wrong song

 
There's a great David Allen Coe song that would fit this topic, but I'd probably be banned for life for linking to it... :LOL:
 
Too lazy to look for a link to it, but "Red Rubber Ball" fits well here. I think Paul Simon wrote it, but someone else had the hit with it.
 
I'd almost forgotten this one...my favorite:

Not safe for w*rk or small children, but FZ's "Broken Hearts Are For A--holes" might qualify...
 
Janis.

Janis Joplin - A Woman Left Lonely - YouTube

LYRICS:
A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,
She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.
And when she gets lonely, she's thinking 'bout her man,
She knows he's taking her for granted, yeah yeah,
Honey, she doesn't understand, no no no no!

Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.
A woman left lonely, she's the victim of her man, yes she is.
When he can't keep up his own way, good Lord,
She's got to do the best that she can, yeah!
A woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl,
Lord, Lord, Lord!
 
Richard Thompson writes songs with great, poetic lyrics.
"Walking the long miles home" is a good example

Richard Thompson - Walking The Long Miles Home - YouTube

Song-o-matic - Walking The Long Miles Home


Oh the last bus has gone
Or maybe I'm wrong
It just doesn't exist
And the words that flew
Between me and you
I must be crossed off your list
So I'm walking the long miles home
I don't mind losing you
In fact I feel better each step of the way
In the dark I rehearse all the right things to say
I'll be home, I'll be sober by break of day
Walking the long miles home

Not a soul is around
As I put more ground
Between me and you
And the whole town's asleep
Or maybe they're deep in the old "voulez vous"
So I'm walking the long miles home
And I don't mind losing you
Got the moon there for company each step of the way
And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away
When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay
Walking the long miles home

Oh the party was grand
But I hadn't quite planned on staying so long
And while you accused me
The hours confused me and my friends had all gone
So I'm walking the long miles home
And I don't mind losing you
Ah there's nobody out but the cop on the beat
He's snoring so loud I don't hear my feet
I just laugh to myself and move off down the street
Walking the long miles home
I'm walking the long miles home
Oh walking the long miles home
