"I can have another you in a minute... matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute..."

[sodascouts]

Here's one without a trace of bitterness (I LOVE this song):

Love the Fergie one!

I just heard this on the radio and rushed to put it here. But are they breaking up? Were they ever together? The lyrics are kind of vague.

Go Your Own Way..... I played this one back when I was doing classic rock covers in a band. This is pretty much Lindsey to Stevie. The Rumours album is my fav FM album and a fav in general! All of the songs are written by the songwriter about their partners. I can talk about what song means what from that album but I'm not in this thread. Maybe I'll go to the FM thread next!

NOTE: I think this will be our reference for a song that is not happy!

[Freypower]

Magnificent song; but the last thing it is is 'happy'.

There is a track on Van Morrison's Pay The Devil album called More & More:

More and more I'm forgettin' the past
More and more I'm livin' at last
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' about you

You know how I've tried to keep you by my side
You know how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' about you

But, oh, how I tried to keep you by my side
And, oh, how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' about you

Day by day I'm losin' my blues
More and more I'm forgettin' about you

I decided to post the lyrics as I'm probably the only person on the board who knows it.

And also It Won't Take Long by the Rolling Stones. It might be better to post a link:

First one that came to my mind.

Lyrics like:
"I can't feel this way much longer
expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendoes
just waiting to arrive"

Benjamin and company....

Love this one.... He wasn't very happy with her, I don't believe.

Couldn't find a video for this one but Promises by Eric Clapton...Right from the get go of this song....

"I don't care if you never come home.
I don't mind if you just
Keep rowing away on distant sea
cuz I don't love you and you don't love me."

Gotta love it from a woman's perspective.

If Looks Could Kill? Are you kidding me?

[TimothyBFan]

If Looks Could Kill? Are you kidding me?

Why not? He screwed up and I feel she's pretty happy to let him know what's gonna happen next time. She's empowered!! It's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Caught you in the act can't put up with that
Messin' where you shouldn't be
I wanna hear you say you're sorry
Cause' nobody takes advantage of me
You're missin' the mark shootin' in the dark
I'm pullin' the wool from my eyes
Baby, don't push me further
It's gonna hurt you if it happens twice

[Troubadour]

I wouldn't call this a "happy" song at all, but I think it deserves a place here. It's so beautiful and sad, but the lyrics have a positive spin... "I know this hurts, but you WILL find somebody else and things WILL get better."

I had a time in my life a couple of years ago when this song made me bawl my eyes out every time I heard it... but I kept listening to it because it comforted me in a strange way.

I can't find a link at the moment, but here are the lyrics.

Birds - Neil Young

Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Nestled
in your wings my little one
This special
morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
