4. ‘A girl’s needs a girl’s needs / just don’t agree just don’t agree / with a man’s needs.’ – Men’s Needs // The Cribs
Ah, nothing like a bit of Cribs cynicism that will, at the time of being dumped, feel like the realist thing you’ve ever heard. I mean, I’ve never actually been through a break up, but I can take a good guess that there’s always a stage of anger, and this song is the perfect tune to accompany that pissed off feeling. The song illustrates how men’s needs and girl’s needs just don’t agree with each other – certainly, as a romantic, I disagree with this completely, but after a break up I’d probably be wavering towards the sentiment of this song. Best played loud.
