The C90 to leave him with

65 replies

Ok so I'm not really gonna leave him, but have long had that feeling with certain songs, that if I were, and if I were going to leave a breaking your heart mix tape, the songs to go on that tape would have to include...

Hate it here-Wilco
Good Year for the Roses- Elvis Costello
Must I paint you a picture?- Billy Bragg
Break my mind- The Flying Burritto Brothers
Mean eyed cat- Jonny Cash (they make up!)

For therapeutic purposes only, any suggestions?

It's a shame - The Spinners

BadHatHarry · 05/04/2014 21:05

You might have to bear with this one as it's country music but I think it's a perfect break up song

Also, Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away, Slipknot - Snuff and, erm, Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake.
