A Great Breakup Song
The last time I had a really bad breakup was in September of 2004. I played Scruffy the Cat’s You Dirty Rat at full blast over and over again. If you want an angry song that is sung by someone other than Alanis Morisette (really great musician as well), you can listen to it here! The lyrics follow.
You Dirty Rat
You never write, you never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
The government could never do
As worse a things as you have done to me
Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love
You call me names, and you’re never home
And all I got ta show is a kissin jones
You talk too much, but not to me
Cuz too much of this love I’ll never see
Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love
You dirty rat, you broke my heart
I can’t believe it went this far
Turn out the heat, blow out the spark
Oh…
Now I gotta say before it all gets said
I look alive but I feel dead
And as for us are we still good friends?
Oh, no, no…
Well I should cry, but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie, cuz you’re better at that than I’ll every be
And it won’t take us back to you and me
Being all in love
You dirty rat, and I gotta say
You sure know how to wreck my day
Turn off the sun and walk away
Oh…
But now I just what to find
And who is who this next in line
And as for us, is there still time?
Oh, no, no, no…
Scruffy the Cat, You Dirty Rat, breakup, angry music, Alanis Morisette
