I'm trying to put together a compilation of stalker songs, or at least songs about unrequited love or a creepy obsession. So far I've thought of a few that I think are along these lines:
Brainy - The National
Possession - Sarah McLachlan
The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get - Morrissey
Every Breath You Take - Police
Your House - Alanis Morissette
Strange Currencies - R.E.M.
Lovefool - Cardigans
Cup Of Coffee - Garbage
If anyone has any favorite stalker songs, no matter what genre it is, please share!

Smashing Pumpkins - Lily
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla
Tyler
Send You To Heaven
Jigsaw Girl
Possum Kingdom
those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head
"Tyler" lyrics:
And she runs through her days
with a smile on her face
and she runs, and she waits
and I wait
we can drive to any place
day and night across this state
and in the morning, into Mexico,
we will wake up
I will be with her
I find a window in the kitchen
where I let myself in
I rummage through the refrigerator
pour myself a be-er
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 voice
She pulls the covers tighter
I press against the door
I will be with her. Tonight
It is one of the greatest songs of the 90s. but the lyrics are altogether creepy
Give me your hand
and I will hold it forever
on my nightstand
in a box with your love letters
I love you dear
I know we will not be parted
I'll keep you near
scattered around my apartment
This is not the same world you lived in
I could breathe easier
once I brought you back in
you are not the same girl you had been
I promise you'll never leave me
Give me your hair, just a lock will do
an old photograph, to capture the spirit of you well
I'll keep these things, wrapped up in an old cotton blouse
the one you wore that summer before your love petered out
This is not the same world you lived in
I could breathe easier
once I brought you back in
you are not the same girl you had been
I promise you'll never leave me
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY everything that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to
be the answer to all of yours
Hey now do you see me down the way
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel
It'll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
Hey now well I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation it's true
Hello, I got something for you
It'll blow you away You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away You're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away You're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray
But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
Funny, "Tyler" was the first song I thought of. I agree it was one of the better songs of the 90's, and it's awesome live. Love The Toadies.

Hey there Bret, I see you looking down.
Don't want to see my little buddy there with a frown.
Just because I get more women than you, well that's only because they don't know you like I do.
Sure, you're weedy and kind of shy.
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy, shy guy.
They want you as the needle when they're rolling in the hay.
Just hear me out when I say...
Bret, you got it going on.
The ladies will get to know your sexuality when they get to know your personality.
I said, Bret, you got it going on.
Not in a gay way, just in a "hey mate, I wanted to say that you're looking okay, mate."
Why can't a heterosexual guy,
Tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly.
Not all the time, obviously, just when he's got a problem with his self esteem.
Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable.
Because you're bumpable.
Well, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.
If I say you've got a boom ow-ow.
Come on Bret, help me out now.
Bret, you got it going on.
(You got it going on!)
That's the conclusion that I've come to.
But that doesn't mean that I want to bum you.
Bret, you got it going on.
(Got it going on...)
No doubt about it, we'd be gettin crazy.
If one of us was lucky enough to be born a lady.
If one of us was a lady, and I was your man, if I was your man.
Well, sometimes it gets lonely, and I need a woman.
And then I imagine you with some bosoms.
In fact, one time when we were touring and I was really lonely.
And we were sharing that twin room in the hotel.
I put a wig on you, when you were sleeping, I put a wig on you.
Oh, ohhh, oooooh, oh, and I just laid there and spooned you.
Bret, you got it going on.
Jemaine: So, hopefully that made you feel better...
Bret: Can I please have a look at the lyrics?
oh well!
Dave Matthews - Crash Into Me
I know, but I'm planning to send this to my ex-girlfriend as a joke. The whole stalker thing is kind of an inside joke between us so I'm not really going to do anything creepy. She'll love it.
And thanks for the suggestions so far, everyone.
"If You Never Got Sick"
That ain’t a parachute
That ain’t a rip cord
That ain’t a body of water
We’re headed for
There’s so little time left
So much to be done
Even you are gonna need someone
That ain’t a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting into your eyes
It’s the invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive
Now I may not be quick
Maybe never was
But tell me what the hell it is
That you’ve become
Baby if you never got sick
I wouldn’t get to hold you
Baby if you never got sick
I would never get to hold you
This ain’t a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain’t the kinds of return
That I was thinking of
I’m unbearable now
You ain’t seen nothing yet
You’ll se me dead
Before you see me quit
That ain’t a jug of wine
That you’ve been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come
I will bury you in
Just to dig you out
I haven’t a use
For being proud
[chorus]
I followed you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I needed to sleep
That’s when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
Now I always knew
There was God inside you
I just never did learn which one
[chorus]
or:
Closer to You
How soft a whisper can get
When you’re walking through a crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
How long an hour can take
When you’re staring into open space
When I feel I’m slipping further away
I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
These are the days
That I won’t get back
I won’t hear you cry
Or hear you laugh
And when it’s quite
And I don’t hear a thing
I can always hear you breathe
You know there’s nowhere else
I’ve wanted to be
Than be there when you need me
I’m sorry too
But don’t give up on me
And just remember that when you get asleep
I got a little bit closer to you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you
Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you
Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...
Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you...
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Somewhere a clock strikes midnight
And there's a full moon in the sky
You hear a dog bark in the distance
You hear someone's baby cry
A rat runs down the alley
And a chill runs down your spine
Someone walks across your grave
And you wish the sun would shine
No one's gonna warn you
And no one's gonna yell Attack
And you don't feel the steel
Till it's hanging out your back
CHORUS:
I'm your Night Prowler, asleep in the day
I'm your Night Prowler, get out of my way
Look out for the Night Prowler, watch you tonight
I'm the Night Prowler, when you turn out the light ...
Too scared to turn your light out
'Cos there's something on your mind
Was that a noise outside your window?
What's that shadow on the blind?
As you lie there naked
Like a body in a tomb
Suspended animation
As I slip into your room
I'm your Night Prowler, break down your door
I'm your Night Prowler, crawling 'cross your floor
I'm your Night Prowler, make a mess of you, yes I will
Night Prowler, and I am telling this to you
There ain't nothing you can do
Shazbot, nanoo, nanoo
One of my current favorites...
does this endless wrecking ball
involve anyone or anything at all
be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
endless get away
confessed to a wall
cause these kind of drinks will make you crawl
beg rip of your face
so be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
because you'll never make the right decisions
with busy hands and blurry vision
mislead you know you won't admit it
you went against your own
she's dead you might have over did it
now you're on your own
the days are long but the nights are longer
and after midnight the drinks can only get stronger
the end it near so we become smoke and we become mirrors
come home with me now
i won't have you any other way
This is one of the creepiest stalker songs bc the woman being stalked is aware of the stalker and her reality is incorporated into the song through a female singer.
MALE:
You've got a friend in me, darlin'
You've got a friend in me
Cos when I looked at your face, I've seen a wonderful place
And I knew it was there for me
You've got the sweetest smile, darlin', you've got it all for me
Cos when I looked at your eyes, I've seen a terrible prize
And I knew it was there for me
FEMALE:
You follow me home when I'm finished in work
You're creeping so quietly so I don't get scared
MALE:
I sit in your garden on your fence at night
I'm watching you live through the day and the night
You've got a friend in me, darlin'
You've got a friend in me
Cause when I looked at your smile
It made me laugh for awhile
And I knew it was there for me
FEMALE:
Upstairs downstairs watching me move
You'd never let me see you, you couldn't face the truth
MALE:
I feel like I know you in every way
Though we've never spoke and we never say
Let me see where you go, let me follow you home
Let me, I want to know, because
I know that it's meant for me, darlin', know that it's meant for me
And even if I stop to say hello
There's so many things you don't know
I've got a perfect picture of you this way
And if I got to know you it could all change
And even if I stop to say hello
There's so many things you don't know
I've got a perfect picture of you this way
And if I got to know you it could all change
I want a new love, I'm sick of this pass time
But I'm scared of new love, it's been such a long time
You've got a friend, oh
You've got a friend, oooh
You've got a friend, oh no
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, oh
You've got a friend, oooh
You've got a friend,
You've got a friend in me!

Tyler is one of my favorite songs of all time...another great stalker tune from Todd Lewis' other band, Burden Brothers, is "Shadow."
(Shawn Smith's official website, but not Thee Shawn Smith)
"Invisible"
Whatcha’ doin’ tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who's stealin' your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive
[Chorus]
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)
Saw your face in the crowd
I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life
[Chorus]
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)
I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...
[Repeat Chorus]
If I was invisible...
If I was invisible...
If I was invisible...
If I was invisible...
If I was invisible...
If I was invisible...
How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me.
Its like a book elegantly bound but in a language that you can't read, just yet.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
You reject my advances and desperate plea. I won't let you let me down so easily. So easily
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, love. You gotta spend some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love, I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
So I look in your direction,
And you pay me no attention do you?
I know you don't listen to me,
Cause you say you see straight through me,
Don't you?
But on and on,
From the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care
Oh, did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good,
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
And I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
I'll sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you,
But you never even see me do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?
But on and on,
From the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care
Did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good,
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
And I wanted to say…
Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver,
I'll sing it loud and clear
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you, I will always be waiting
And it's you that I see,
But you don't see me
And its you, that I hear,
So loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you
So I look in your direction,
And you pay me no attention,
And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me
Anyway, one song that might be useful for your list is 'Throw Your Arms Around me' (Hunters and Collectors....Or Ed's version)
EV- 08/09,10/2008.06/08,09/2009
That is definitely a love song, not a stalker song.
