What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.
Well it has been quite a long time since I have broken up with anyone so this is pretty much theoretical:
1. Go Nancy!
2. You tell him, Aretha!
3. This one makes me think of those awful, long, drawn up break ups that some people seem to specialise in.
4. And yes, I know this is corny but can't help feeling sad for Karen Carpenter.
5. And my fifth one (which i can't find a clip for) is Paul Kelly's "When I first met your ma". I think the chorus is a bit of a give away that he is singing (to his child) about a relationship (with the child's mother) that didn't work out:
Love like a bird flies away
You'll find out the only way
Love like a bird flies away
Ah ... how I love Paul Kelly ...
