What's that called "scheidenfreude"? Someone who gets pleasure from another person's misery. Open-g can you confirm?

schaudenfreud, i think

Schadenfreude. "shame-joy," loosely.

yeah... we're right here in cyberspace, where you need us the least!

On the topic, it's somewhat oblique, but Public Image Ltd's first song, "Public Image," comes to mind. Though I guess it's the reverse... not being recognized for having changed in a positive way: "I'm not the same as when I began / I will not be treated as property."

Maybe a better choice would be "I Should Have known Better," by Wire. Long and intense.

"Walk On The Wild Side" and "Loloa" both have a pretty big change.

"Personality Crises" by the N.Y. Dolls

Time Will Crawl by Bowie too

"Fake Friends" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

How many friends by the Who? Of course not all lyrics match this situation (!) but the gist of the song fits, I think...

Who the f*ck is Mick Jagger?

"I Don't Believe You" by R.Zimmerman.........."she acts like we never met"

another good one, Leonard. You get the impression Bobby was having relationship issues circa 1964-66?

LK, I'm a page ahead of you with "Fake Friends" - great rocker though. Awesome guitar tone.

yep T & A..........how 'bout "Ballad In Plain D"........a bit too confessional.........i guess Suzy Rotolo was pissed about that one

She's Your Lover Now is a bit on the negative side, I'd say, too...

yeah.....i like the way 'ol Zimmy spews his poison in a clever way

Thers a line from that song by Smokey Robinson from the early 80s called I think "Being With You" that goes "People can change, they always do/Havent they noticed the changes in you?
