Meanest Love Songs: No. 14

'I Want You'
--Elvis Costello (1986)

The Kiss-Off: "It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing"

From perhaps the ultimate kiss-off artiste -- on this album alone, 'Blood and Chocolate,' he gave us the sweet nothings 'I Hope You're Happy Now' and 'Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head' -- Costello outdid himself with these chilling, murderous seven minutes. "I want you so it scares me to death," he sings, but it won't be his death. Download Elvis Costello on Napster
