Anti-Love Songs

[mreow]

The only one I can come up with is Selena by Screeching Weasel. But there surely are others that's just the top one that comes to mind. I'll mention more when I'm not late for work.

[escrew7]

Well thats the one that sticks in my mind the most. So I guess its MY favorite.

The Descendents - Clean Sheets

Woke up this morning, alone on the floor
Thinking about those clean sheets and the way it was before
When I looked in the mirror, I saw your face and thought of the past
Now I know how dirty you are
I took my fist and smashed the glass

Palace Brothers, "You Will Miss Me When I Burn," bar none.

But there's also
DCFC, "Tiny Vessels" - is it too Myspace ca. 2003 for me to list? DEAL WITH IT AWWW YYEAAHHH
Beck, "The Golden Age"
Muse, "Uno"
Stevie Wonder, "Blame It On the Sun" - a lot of people probably consider this one of his corny, maudlin songs, but it gets me, okay
The Postal Service, "Nothing Better" - a "dialogue song" that actually works
The Walkmen, "The Rat"

There were a bunch more that I wanted to put on here, but they were veering more towards just break-up songs, with which there's definitely a huge overlap with "anti-love songs," but they're not exactly the same thing.

Justified Black Eye by No Use for a Name.

It's a song about a woman who refuses to come to terms with the fact that her boyfriend uses her as a punching bag. How romaaaaaantic!

You know, the chick that lives upstairs from you? On the second floor? I guess you've never seen her before.

My family lives upstairs from me, B. I think you've got me mistaken with somebody else.

I have never met your family so your post has no effect on me.

Joey Cape - Wind In Your Sails

Not a huge fan of the Lagwagon version, but when Joey does it by himself, hot damn. I was going to try and post a few lines in particular, but I decided the bitterness is best as a whole, so here are the lyrics:

It's negative, I wish you the worst dear,
To feel the greatest pain (a positive)
You say it's all in vain, I know i felt,
And i won't feel again, I know you

Hours of madness, years of dysfunction,
The deepest embitterment,
No will to strive or achieve,
Finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees,
As you crawl back to me

It ends like this, I can hope for bliss
If you fail again, 'cause i'm right here
To witness every step and when you trip,
I will cherish it

(chorus)

I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I am the wind in your sail

I wish you the worst dear
To feel the greatest pain 'cause i'm right here,
To retrieve all you stole every tear,
And everything you own, I wish you

Hours of madness, years of dysfunction,
The deepest embitterment, no will to trust anyone
This is how i lived, this is how you left me, blue
And I'd crawl back to you

[Sami]

I know that V-Day was like last week and this is not at all timely but...

"I Hate Love Songs" by Gwar.

I hate love songs and I hate lovers
I hate everything that I can't have so I hate you
I hate movies with happy endings
Like that one I saw where all the girls were beautiful like you
Like you
I hate wet dreams and masturbation
I hate everything that feels good like sex with you
I hate flowers and little birdies
Makes me wanna puke when I see something cuddly like you
I'm bored with your insanity
I'm too tired to smile at your stupidity
You've got the very best of me
fell in love push came to shove but you broke so easily
I love hate songs 'bout mass destruction
other people's pain takes my mind off you
I love puppies when they're road-kill
They're too cute too live, too cute to live
like you

A few notes:
1) This could be deemed a pro-love song, technically. Just one of the most fucked up ones ever.
2) Aw puppies

"Get Drunk" by Drag The River

I love to get drunk
I love the movies
I love my TV, my couch and my VCR
I love the way the sun reflects on the hood of my car
But I don't love you anymore

I love to drink late.
I love to sleep all day.
I love pinball, pool halls, and cheap draws.
I love the way the neon signs light up the walls.
But I don't love you anymore.
