Stalkers and Serial Killers: The Playlist!
It was a dark and gloomy afternoon, and so as I was listening to The Hush Sound on the drive back from my granny's, I decided that the world really needs a comprehensive playlist of all the creepy songs that either deal explicitly with stalking and bloody murder, or end up being stalker-y/homicidal under the delusion that they are "romantic". (I feel this latter list will be especially long)
Some definite contenders:
The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
The Beatles - Run For Your Life
The Hush Sound - Sweet Tangerine
Ludo - Go-Getter Greg
Ludo - The Horror Of Our Love
Police - Every Breath You Take
I'm considering Amanda Palmer's I Google You, but I only heard it the one time in concert, so I can't remember if the lyrics are more creepy or wistful.
Anyone else have suggestions? [anyone? anyone? Eryn? ;)]

Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where the Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave - Red Right Hand (Y'know what? Just put all his music in this list!)
oh... what was that song... it was big on the radio this year but the lyrics were totally stalky bad. Um. I'll let that percolate a bit...

(googled it - it's called "Tyler"
I find a window in the kitchen,
And I let myself in.
Rummage through the refrigerator,
Find myself a beer.
I can't believe I'm really here
And she's lying in that bed.
I can almost feel her touch
And her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway
Outside her bedroom door.
I hear her call out to me.
I hear the fear in her voice.
She pulls the covers tighter.
I press against the door.
I will be with her tonight . )
also you're missing the creepy stalker Hush Sound songs from that list!
"Sweet Tangerine"-
Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay
I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin
"Hospital
BedBear Crawl"In the backseat of a car
In the corner of a room
In the shadow’s where I hide, from you
...
In an alleyway way down town
There’s a lurker making rounds
Keeping track and keeping tabs, on you
And he likes the taste of blood
And he loves the way you love
And that’s just what he wants from you
...
I’m not like all the other boys, I won’t take a ‘no’
And, of course- Cobra Starship "It's Warmer in the Basement"

Haha, how could I forget Cobra? The song that launched a thousand villain!Gabe stories :(

He took little Susie to the Junior Prom
Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy
no subject
Empires - "I Want Blood"
Circle Jerks - "I Wanna Destroy You" (perhaps more political than personal, but definitely screams bloody murder)
"Pink Moon" - Nick Drake, or the Lamya cover we have
Shivaree - "Goodnight Moon"
Guster - "Barrel of a Gun"
If you think about it the right (read: twisted) way, "Crimson and Clover" gets rather creepy. Also, ever since that short film at your graduation, "All Of Me" has definitely given me this vibe. :)

I followed you last night,
I saw you turn your lights out.
I know it wasn't right,
I watched in fear and doubt.
It's gotten to be that way,
(Going, going, gone.)
What did you do today?
(Going, going, gone.)
Look good in that red dress,
I bet the boyfriend's happy,
Your face is scarred with age,
You're twenty-three but, how can that be?
There's nowhere,
To move on.
There's nowhere,
To move on.
All I see, yeah yeah, all I see.
All I see, yeah yeah, is me everywhere,
It's me.
--------------------
I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart, unseen.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.
I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realize that you love me.
---------------------
Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing /
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open /
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining /
And you think you're alone...

Come to think of it, "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins works, too.
