The C90 to leave him with

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?

Still don't know what the relevance of C90 is.

The Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley - the most uplifting song about a break up ever. Good call on On and On Princess of China...

Hush Hush, Pussycat Dolls

I have an unused one still in cellophane. It's now being saved for socially educating the DCs in the future.

d of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

A C90 was a blank audio cassette which in ye olden days one would record music onto.

And I also wondered how many MNers would get the C90 reference! Grin

Dry your eyes - The Streets

Walk on by - Dionne Warwick

What's the point of leaving a C90 if he has nothing to play it on?

50 ways to leave your lover. Fantastic choice of song.

Im am slightly sad that I immediately knew what you meant by C90, I was trying to avoid the getting old thing.

For break up tape inspiration try High Fidelity. Not only does it have the very edible Mr Cusack, but also really great music.

Cee Lo Green - Fuck You
Dido - Hunter
