Here’s another breakup song from Doc, in a more positive vein:
“Sitting on Top of the World”
Staind - It’s Been Awhile
Staind - Outside
2 songs that were my theme songs while I went through a very dark phase of my marriage and almost broke up for good.
One More Minute
By Weird Al
Aahh
Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)
So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)
That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you
I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps
Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again
Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...
I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you
Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you
I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you
Eric stole this tune from the third movement of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony. If you're going to steal, then steal from the best.
Is it yellow snow?
Lisa--Jeannie Black (1960)
Neither One of Us (Wants to be the first to say goodbye) Gladys Knight and the Pips...
“They’re Hanging Me Tonight” by Marty Robbins.
Sandpipers - To put up with you.
The whole B&W show is awesome as well. Just trying to pick out all the people with him: Springsteen, Costello, KD Lang, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waites and many others I do not recognize
By day we sweat behind the plow
Of a runaway oxen team
At night we ride through mansions of glory
On suicide machines
Sprung from the barn on rural strasses
Spoked wheels and leather seats under our arses
Whoooo, Baby this berg will feel the wrath
Of our velocipedes along the cobbled path!
Whooo We must get home before the night watchmen
Patrol the streets and send us home by ten
But we’ll drink as much as the Heidelberg Tun.Cuz Tramps like us, Baby we were born to run...
(The You Tube didn’t give us a translation of “On The Bridge” so i made up my own.)
She's pregnant and abandoned. Frannie was only 16 when he wrote this. From Goethe's "Faust."

I believe that song is about the death of his wife and child in a house fire. He always wore black after his loss.
