Does anyone know a good song or songs that deal with letting someone know you're not interested? Could be subtle, could be mean... I'm just curious :wink:
 
Although it's from a male point of view, Lou Reed's Temporary Thing is good. And since it's a Lou Reed song, it isn't subtle. :wink:
 
'Wish Me Well (You Can Go to Hell)' by the Bouncing Souls

It may work.
 
This is "old school" and reallllly tacky, but Motley Crue's "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) is a good one. :lol:
 
Stiff Little Fingers - Just Fade Away

She asks for more and I give less
Why can't she see it's obvious
I mean no but she takes yes
I make it clear but she don't guess.

She comes around it gets me down
But she don't catch a hint I drop
She turns up it turns me off
And she don't know when to stop.

What am I supposed to do?
How to gently break the news?
How to get the message through?
Perhaps I should just fade away.

She asked me out and I gave in
Then she gave out and I felt mean
I really want no more of us
So I stay home, she comes across.

She comes round I turn her down
But she bounces back again
She comes on I turn her off
But she don't get what's really plain.

What am I supposed to do?
Got to get the message through
Got to make her see the truth
I wish she would just fade away.

Do you want to know do I love you?
The answer's no, is that straight enough for you?

She asked for it I told her flat
That I don't want no more of that
I've really had you up to here
And I don't even like you near.

If you come round I won't be in
I can't stand to see your face
If we meet up then count me out
Why don't you just fade away?

Fade away

When love's not love
When love's not love
When love's not love
Fade away.



The Beatles - Don't Bother Me

Since she?s been gone I want no one to talk to me.
It?s not the same but I?m to blame, it?s plain to see.

So go away, leave me alone, don?t bother me.

I can?t believe that she would leave me on my own.
It?s just not right when every night I?m all alone.

I?ve got no time for you right now, don?t bother me.

I know I?ll never be the same if I don?t get her back again.
Because I know she?ll always be the only girl for me.

But ?till she?s here please don?t come near, just stay away.
I?ll let you know when she?s come home. until that day,

Don?t come around, leave me alone, don?t bother me.

Don?t bother me.
Don?t bother me.
Don?t bother me.
Don?t bother me.


Barenaked Ladies - Leave

I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep
I get ill when I get tired
So I'll try to rest if you'll stand guard

Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do

I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't stand to hear you breathe
I chew up and I choke down
The scraps you choose to leave around

Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do

Apparitions still won't leave me alone
It's as if you never left
How am I supposed to remember you
When you won't let me forget?

I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep
There's your shoes, and there's the door
Please don't come here anymore

Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do



Mighty Mighty Bosstones - You Gotta Go!

I hadn't heard a word from you in how long
You just dropped off the face
You disappeared without a trace
And no one knew what you were up to
Or where your whereabouts were
Or if you were alive
That's why your call to me surprised me
It came out of the blue
You told me when you would be arriving
And there was nothing I could do
I just assumed you wouldn't stay long
And I was wrong it's nearly near a year
And you?re still here
You gotta go, it?s time for you to leave
You?ve worn out your welcome
It?s time for you to go
I said that for a few days you could crash
At my place then I lent you
A substantial chunk of cash
Until you found employment A job that's not beneath you
That never happened I wish I knew
What I now do I?d be far away from
You gotta go, it?s time for you to leave
You?ve worn out your welcome
It?s time for you to go somehwere else
I?ve had it I just can't take no more
You need to wake up
And get your drunk ass off the floor
You lost my cat and broke my TV
I can't use my couch till well past 3
So pack your bags, there's the door
You gotta go, it?s time for you to leave
You?ve worn out your welcome
It?s time for you to go somewhere else
You gotta go and this is not your address
You?ve worn out my patience
It?s time for you to go, somewhere else
You gotta go somewhere else
You gotta go
 
can't believe i forgot this one:

Bouncing Souls w/ Kara Wethington - Wish Me Well (Go to Hell)


I've got to be me baby and you gotta be you
Something isn't right but i know i love you
I only want what's best i don't know Is this
some kind of test. Yeah and you're failing
all we do is bicker
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell
We were so different a short time ago Love
is suppose to make us happy supposed to make us grow
But i just wanna punch you in the face
i love you i guess needed the space
Oh well another time and another place
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell
 
u2girl02, how familiar with stiff little fingers are you? as a clash fan, you'd definetly like a lot of their stuff.
 
I've heard of them... and I think they're on a Clash tribute cd I got with a magazine... other than that, I'm pretty ignorant :reject:

I'll definitely have to look into them now! Thanks for the tip IWB :)
 
yeah, "strummerville" is on that tribute. decent song. the album it's on, it's the latest one they put out...i haven't heard anything, so i assume it still hasn't been released in the US, but they've been signed to kung fu here, so it's only a matter of time.

do whatever you can to track down copies of 'nobody's hero' and 'inflammable material'. you will not be sorry. great stuff.
 
Linda Rondstadt "Different Drum"

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
