I include this song in the "anti-love song" thread because the man in the song is feeling the opposite of love: indifference.
I remember when this played often on the radio I'd always stop (work) and listen carefully to the lyrics. The lines that especially got to me, because how she sings them convey to me her hurt and then some anger, are these: "You made friends at the farm. You join 'em at the bar almost every single day of the week. I will wash the dishes while you go have a beeeeer."

I loved this song when it was out. I became a massive radiohead when I was 12/13 and this was really blowing up then. It came out at the same time as (or around the same time as) Poe's Angry Johnny which was also incredible.
I've never really cared for the Lillith Fair variety, but you can see why it emerged. Strong showing from the ladies in the late 90's.
