Just in from a session with mates and I miss her again. I'll go with Joy Division "love will tear us apart" right now.

You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Let's Get Rocked - Def Leppard
Let It Go - Def Leppard
Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
Crazy Crazy Nights - Kiss
I Was Made For Loving You - Kiss
I Touch Myself - Divinyls
Laid - James

Those songs remind me of certain "times" being with her!

Bed Of Roses - Bon Jovi
You Had Me From Hello - Bon Jovi
Miss You In a Heartbeat - Def Leppard
Photograph - Def Leppard
I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You - Savage Garden
Amazed - Lone Star (one of her favourite's - tears me to pieces sometimes when I hear it.

)
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx
A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton
The Island - Paul Brady

Those songs are for when I'm in a soppy mood thinking of her. God, I'm a sap!

Get Your Hands Off My Woman, Motherf**ker! - The Darkness
Take It On The Run - R.E.O Speedwagon:
(Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boyfriend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

{refrain}

You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

You’re thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

{refrain x 3}

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around)

Those songs are for when I think of her and what she did to me behind my back with other fellas! :mad:

Somebody Kill Me - Adam Sandler
Love Stinks - J. Geils Band / Adam Sandler
Madder - Groove Armada

And those ones are how I feel sometimes when I think of her and what she put me through and when it really gets me down and depressed. Funny thing is, despite what she put me through, I still want her to this day and I'd have her back in a heartbeat. Crazy or what?

Jaysus just read that again properly. How long were you with her?

arbeitsscheuer · 03-04-2005 7:59pm

Ok those other songs I posted (with the exception of probably Crazy English Summer) were about songs that remind me of my exes when I'm in a mood of reminisce about the relationships in general... A bitter mood, predominantly...

These remind me specifically of when they/I left:

Faithless - Don't Leave
Shakespear's Sister - Stay
Eagle-Eyed Cherry - Save Tonight
Sugarcult - Back to California
The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
John Mayer - Why Georgia
Green Day - F.O.D.
Oasis - Don't Go Away
Pink Floyd - Nobody Home
Avril Lavigne - Nobody's Home
The Streets - It's Too Late [ha! thought I was gonna say Dry Your Eyes, didncha?!]
Lisa Loeb - Stay (I Missed You)
Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
Yazoo - Only You
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
Blink 182 - Down
The Clash - Train in Vain
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Blur - Clover Over Dover

and...

Hey Mercedes - Quit

In terms of a song that described an ex from a few years ago:
American Idiot - Green Day
It fits him perfectly as he was very right wing and very pro Bush, though I suppose at least he got me interested in politics and I used to have some great debates with him.

youcancallmeal · 03-04-2005 8:36pm

David Gray - Shine
Placebo - Bitter End

spyro_2001ie · 03-04-2005 9:28pm

Like a Rhindstone Cowboy - Some contry singer

Piste · 03-04-2005 9:40pm

Placebo- Nancy Boy
???- Summer Jam

Sympathy for the Devil. Nah unfortunately when I hear to "whatever I do, I do for you", I think of an ex, mainly because it was back in the days when we were all young and innocent, and we had "a song". Fairly pathetic really, thinking about it now. Its more of a bad side effect now, but I don't like the song anyways, so that's good.

I wonder when will someone say "hit me baby, one more time"

Time Magazine · 03-04-2005 11:47pm

Glassjaw - Pretty Lush

"you can lead a whore to water, and you can bet you she'll drink and follow orders. And I said 'Is this what you wanted? Is this what you needed?'"

I'm so glad my current, AMAZING girlfriend bought me that CD

How long were you with her Aidan and how long is it finnished?

aidan_dunne · 04-04-2005 9:29pm

I'll put it this way, I wasn't with her long enough in some cases but I was with her too long in others. Depends on the different times I think of her, you know? Good times - not long enough. Bad times - too long!

There are times I think that she was the best thing that ever came into my life - and times, in the past, where I ended up so heartbroken and devastated that I think she was the worst thing that ever came into my life. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been in that situation though, eh?

Yet, I'm still crazy about her. Weird, eh?

I suppose, in that case, another song that could sum her up is "I've Got You Under My Skin". Because she well and truly got under my skin and affected me like nobody else ever has, I think.

PullMyFinger! · 06-04-2005 5:53am

I know exactly what you mean Aidan. I dislike the ex so much in some ways but miss her like crazy in others. Think she's the worst thing I ever let in my life at times yet miss her every day.

I'll go with Def Leppard "When love and hate collide" tonight
