Ouch! So it's over. While your in the bushes stalking the one you love(d), put these songs in your MP3 player... Thanks to Ben Folds for the title...

Song for the dumped - Ben folds Five
Oh dear... I hope you don't get as burnt as poor old Ben did...

Tainted love – soft cell
I like the idea that love is 'tainted' in this song, not so nasty

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles
Ok, so this one is more for the dumper than the dumpee, but it's so damn catchy!

Idiot wind – Bob Dylan
Whod' a thought that the quiet, folky Bob Dylan would explode with this? You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe. Phew, that's harsh..

2 outta 3 ain’t bad – meatloaf
Ah yeah, the old "it's not you, it's me" excuse...

Don't Speak -by No Doubt.
The best way to break up, don't say a word - just get out!

I will survive - cake
Time for some motivational music... you will move on, believe me

500 miles – the proclaimers
I always thought this was a positive song... but it can be read the other way so easily

The Scientist- Coldplay
We will experiment with anything to get the love of our life back, even science.

I Can See For Miles- The Who
The ultimate stalking song, any place you go I'll be watching. So much better than that 'sting' composition, and waaaay before, too.

Slippery people – Talking heads
David Byrne explains why you don't have to take a bath to be slippery.

King of Wishful Thinking – Go West
Time for some more motivation, or you'll be slashing your wrists.

Greg Kihn Band - The Breakup Song
With this breakup classic Greg Kihn reminded us there is a certain numbness in the aftermath of a relationship folding. "Now I wind up staring at an empty glass...Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past." The song is irresistibly catchy and heartbreaking at the same time.

Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
Generations of lovers have been on the lookout for the moment at which you no longer close your eyes during a kiss due to this song. Rarely has the pain of a breakup ever been more beautiful than in the voices of the Righteous Brothers.

Paul Simon - 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
This is probably one of the most cerebral and witty breakup songs ever. The lyric unfolds like a mini-movie with the clever rhymed refrain. The song is still fascinating so many years later.

Good Riddance (time of your life) Green Day
BEST LINE: "for what it is worth, it was worth all the while"
PURPOSE: When you need closure and want her to know you had a good time.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python
This song delivers a very important message -- a message that should never be forgotten if you intend to enjoy life to the fullest, and move on - of course. Besides, it's funny as hell [-]
