6. The Buzzcocks, "Ever Fallen In Love . . . (With Someone You Shouldn't've)"
We've all been there:
"I can't see much of a future/Unless we find out what's to blame/What a shame/And we won't be together much longer/Unless we realize that we are the same/Ever fallen in love with someone?/Ever fallen in love? . . . In love with someone/You shouldn't've fallen in love with?"
Fiona Apple's live cover (with Costello!) is even more haunting than the original.
"It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for/It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for/It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing/I want you/It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing/I want you."
Listen to this track on repeat before you hit the town, in search of a one-night stand:
"Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool/Love makes you ruthless, and love makes you cruel/And love makes you crazy, with nothing but lies/Love promises nothing, and then your love dies."
There's so much anger in the chorus:
"(She's so) Raunchy, so vulgar, not me, why the hell her/Look, she dresses (look at her)/A mess, what do you see (I don't know) . . . I hate you so much right now/I hate you so much right now/Ahhhhh . . . /I hate you so much right now/I hate you so much right now/I hate you so much right now/Ahhhhh . . . /I hate you so much right now."
Classic anti-love anthem; make sure you don't include the censored version:
"Now I know/That I had to borrow/Beg and steal and lie and cheat/Trying to keep ya/Trying to please ya/'Cause being in love with your ass ain't cheap/I pity the fool/That falls in love with you."
