GARBAGE – What Girls Are Made Of

Tell me, please, what little girls are made of
Sugar and spice and all things nice
But we can bleed for a whole week straight
Every month, and the pain doesn’t faze us

Do you really think we give a shit about what you said
Or what you ever did?
Do what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about

You think you know what I can do
My virgin tongue, oh see how it fools you

Do you really think I give a shit about anything you said
Or what you ever did?
Say what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about

Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it

Watch me cutting every string
One by one
See me cut out all the rot
Bit by bit
Watch me as I push you back
Inch by inch
I push you back, boy
Inch by inch

Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it

Tell me, please, what little girls are made of

GARBAGE – The One

Yeah right from the start you had me hooked
And I knew I was falling
And sure you had me sussed
You worked me out
You took me right out no doubt

Call me a lawyer
I want to micro manage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me man down
Don’t wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don’t like it

You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one

You know what I want
You see me sweat and lose all confidence
And you, you mess me up
I’m back to front
You know I want you don’t you?

GARBAGE – Supervixen

Come down to my house
Stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out
If you like it too much

Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I’ll feed your obsession
There’ll be nothing but this thing that you’ll never doubt

A hit is hard to resist
And I never miss
I can take you out
With just a flick of my wrist

Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I’ll feed your obsession
There is nothing but this thing that you’ll never doubt
This thing you’ll never doubt

And I’ll feed your obsession
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing you’ll never doubt
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

[Background:]
Now I want it too much
Now I want it to stop
Now I’m lucky like a falling star that fell over me

Bow down to me, bow down to me
Bow down to me, bow down to me
Bow down to me, bow down to me
Bow down to me.

GARBAGE – Show Me

You could hear long before you could dream
You could walk
You could run long before you could sing
You could talk
Think about all the things you never say
And spit them out

And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now

It’s not as easy as it seems
The world is big
The sea is deep
There is no rope
There is no line
We’re specks of dust up in the sky
There is no space
There is no time
There’s only you and what we leave behind

And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now

And what we leave behind

And what we leave behind

And show me
Show me how
Show me

Show me
What we leave behind

GARBAGE – Push It

I was angry when I met you
I think I’m angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you’ll help me out

Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
No need to fight
Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
We’ll be alright

[Chorus:]
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

I’m sorry that I hurt you
Please don’t ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
Don’t be uptight
Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
We’ll stay up all night

[Chorus:]
C’mon push it, you can do it
C’mon prove it, nothing to it
C’mon use it, let’s get through it
C’mon push it, you can do it

Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
Don’t be uptight
Don’t worry baby (don’t worry baby)
We’ll stay up all night

[Chorus (3x):]
Don’t worry baby
We’ll be alright
Don’t worry baby
We’ll be alright

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it.

Garbage – Not Your Kind Of People

We are not your kind of people.
You seem kind of phoney.
Everything’s a lie.
We are not your kind of people.
Something in your makeup.
Don’t see eye to eye.

We are not your kind of people.
Don’t want to be like you.
Ever in our lives.
We are not your kind of people.
We fight when you start talking.
There’s nothing but white noise

Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh….

Running around trying to fit in,
Wanting to be loved.
It doesn’t take much.
For someone to shut you down.
When you build a shell,
Build an army in your mind.
You can’t sit still.
And you don’t like hanging round the crowd.
They don’t understand

You dropped by as I was sleeping.
You came to see the whole commotion.
And when I woke I started laughing.
The jokes on me for not believing.

We are not your kind of people.
Speak a different language.
We see through your lies.
We are not your kind of people.
Won’t be cast as demons,
Creatures you despise.

We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.

Garbage – Man On A Wire

I looked into the mirror
What did I see?
There was a big black beast
Looking back at me

You looked into my eyes
What did you see?
You saw a big black beast
Magnified in me

Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

I was like a volcano
Just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn
And I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster
Could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

That’s right

Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you
Hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
You’re hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

GARBAGE – Love Like Suicide

All the money, all the pearls
All the rubies in the world
They can’t buy her, they can’t have her
They’ll just have to use somebody else

All the money on the walls
All the people that you can call

[Chorus:]
Love like suicide
When opposites collide
You dive into it blind
A love like suicide

Love like suicide

It’s all there is
It’s all you got

It’s all you want
It’s all you need

All the [?], all the praise
All the connections that we make
All the [?], all the girls
All the love in the world

All the changes, all the fun
All the damage that could be done

[Chorus]

Love like suicide (it’s all there is, it’s all you got)

Garbage – we Hate Love

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are.
I knew you before you met me long before we would part.
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones.
Before you kissed me and buried my hope.
Before you stole stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall.

They shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you.
They let you in and you start to believe you’re soft as a miracle.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.

Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.

Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool.
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel.
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies.
Love promises nothing and then your love dies.

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.

Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.

Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.

Garbage – Blood For Poppies

To lift the sun,
I’ve been sitting here all night long
Rolling rock, over Buddah with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the black watch boys
Get your heads down
Oooh
Duty calls, but it’s way too late
I’m too far gone
Waiting for God, oh hell
With my pants down
Crack the stash
Then be quiet in the midday sun
I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom
Ooh ooh oohh

I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right

I hate the things I think about you
When I’m all alone
I know you’re tough
But I’ve been gone
For so long
Play the memories of you
Inside my head
So all these pictures of us
Burn and radiate
Watch the clouds, and I’m falling
Falling through the cracks
Head beats
And my heart is pounding fast
Off the ground
Into the starry dark, into your arms
I’m falling
Ooh ooh oohh

I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right

I pray my body’s right
I’ve got to stay alive
I’ve gotta take a chance and keep on moving
Keep on moving

I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right

I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right

Garbage – Big Bright World

We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make this simple plan work
Difficult, but that’s what made it burn

You’re a satellite around my heart
One million before the start
Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you

Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

You’re mysterious, you make no sense
I love you ’cause you’re innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun

So magnify the best inside me
Build the parts that you can’t find me
The parts that won’t give out when things get hard

Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world

Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around and around and around and around

Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

I’m with you

GARBAGE – Beloved Freak

You’re not certain when you feel hurt
Get violent when you deal
With how the world drags you along
You’re not alone

Nothing good was ever free
No one gets it, no one sees
So here you stand, beloved freak
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Sometimes we get so tired and weak
We lose the sky beneath our feet
You’re not alone

Every comet throws an arc
And scars our vision ‘cross the dark
When we’re gone we will remain
You’re not alone

People lie and people steal
They misinterpret how you feel
And so we doubt and we conceal
You’re not alone

Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself

When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain

So here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
Here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet

This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

And so you stand, beloved freak
The world is lying at your feet
There you stand, beloved freak
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Garbage – Battle In Me

Look at you
An accident of drinking
What a mess
A train wreck of lipstick
What a joke, but do you hear me laughing?
Get out my face, before I lose my patience
Now me and you, let’s cut this party
Little boy, it takes a lot to shake me
So shake it

It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you

It’s a bloody war of attrition
Let’s see which one of us is going to last the night
‘Cause I have all of my wits around
And I’ll be damned if I’m done
White rabbit plays right when the room starts spinning
Make it hard, I want something to happen
So make it happen

It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you

Let’s take a torch
To the past and the future
And let’s make out
I won’t tell your girlfriend
See how it feels with a passion burning
We’ll be damned when we’re done

Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it off

‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me

Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off

Garbage – Automatic Systematic Habit

The lies lies lies
