Garbage : Garbage (1995)

1. Supervixen
Come down to my house
Stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out if you like it too much
chorus :
Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obession
There'll be nothing but this Thing that you'll never doubt
Hit is hard to resist and I never miss
I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist
chorus
And I'll feed your obsession
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing that you'll never doubt
You're not the only one (x 2)
Stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out if you like it too much
chorus :
Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obession
There'll be nothing but this Thing that you'll never doubt
Hit is hard to resist and I never miss
I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist
chorus
And I'll feed your obsession
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing that you'll never doubt
You're not the only one (x 2)
2. Queer
Hey boy take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll scrape away this hard veneer
And see what I can find
chorus :
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The dumbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You'll learn to love the pain you feel
Like father like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry cause you starve
While holding back the tears
You choke behind your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
(You can touch me if you want)
I know you're dyinging to
(You can touch me if you want)
I know what's good for you
(You can touch me if you want)
But you can't stop
chorus
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want (x 2)
You can touch me (x 2)
But you can stop
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll scrape away this hard veneer
And see what I can find
chorus :
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The dumbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You'll learn to love the pain you feel
Like father like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry cause you starve
While holding back the tears
You choke behind your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
(You can touch me if you want)
I know you're dyinging to
(You can touch me if you want)
I know what's good for you
(You can touch me if you want)
But you can't stop
chorus
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want (x 2)
You can touch me (x 2)
But you can stop
3. Only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appriciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pout your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour you misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company as long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high up on a deep depression
I'm only happy when you pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appriciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pout your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour you misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company as long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high up on a deep depression
I'm only happy when you pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
4. As heaven is wide
Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray will forgive you
Nothings what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
chorus :
If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God as Heaven is wide
As far from God as angels can fly
If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to Hell
Take it's concious with it as it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind you broke the pact
If God's my witness God must be blind
chorus
I wish
Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
Leave you in the place that you left me
chorus
I wish I could fly
Nothing that you pray will forgive you
Nothings what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
chorus :
If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God as Heaven is wide
As far from God as angels can fly
If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to Hell
Take it's concious with it as it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind you broke the pact
If God's my witness God must be blind
chorus
I wish
Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
Leave you in the place that you left me
chorus
I wish I could fly
5. Not my idea
I bit my tounge and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
chorus :
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours now what about mine
chorus
You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house
chorus
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
chorus :
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours now what about mine
chorus
You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house
chorus
6. A stroke of luck
Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghost wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I loose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me
chorus :
Stroke of luck or gift from God ?
Hand of fate or devils' claw ?
From below or saints above ?
You come to me now
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down all around me
Falling
Don't ask me why
Don't even try
chorus
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghost wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I loose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me
chorus :
Stroke of luck or gift from God ?
Hand of fate or devils' claw ?
From below or saints above ?
You come to me now
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down all around me
Falling
Don't ask me why
Don't even try
chorus
7. Vow
I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan Of Arc coming back for more
chorus :
I nearly died (x 3)
I came to cut you up
I came to know you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your sould apart
You burn and burn to get into my skin
You burned too far now I won't give in
You crucify me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead
chorus
I came to knock you up
I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up
I came to shut you down
I came around to tear you little world apart
And break your soul apart
chorus
I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to suck you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
I can't stop when it comes to you (x 2)
When it comes to you (x 2)
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan Of Arc coming back for more
chorus :
I nearly died (x 3)
I came to cut you up
I came to know you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your sould apart
You burn and burn to get into my skin
You burned too far now I won't give in
You crucify me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead
chorus
I came to knock you up
I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up
I came to shut you down
I came around to tear you little world apart
And break your soul apart
chorus
I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to suck you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
I can't stop when it comes to you (x 2)
When it comes to you (x 2)
8. Stupid girl
You can pretend you're high
Pretend you're bored
Pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
But what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl (x 2)
All you had you wasted (x 2)
What drives you on
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste
You stupid girl (x 2)
Can't believe you fake it (x 2)
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame
You stupid girl (x 2)
Can't believe you fake it (x 2)
When all you had you wasted
You stupid girl
Pretend you're bored
Pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
But what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl (x 2)
All you had you wasted (x 2)
What drives you on
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste
You stupid girl (x 2)
Can't believe you fake it (x 2)
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame
You stupid girl (x 2)
Can't believe you fake it (x 2)
When all you had you wasted
You stupid girl
9. Dog new tricks
I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important
Make it seem profound
chorus :
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what
I meant to say
chorus
Nothing you learn
I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies everyone cheats
Not like you've done
chorus
Nothing you learn
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important
Make it seem profound
chorus :
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what
I meant to say
chorus
Nothing you learn
I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies everyone cheats
Not like you've done
chorus
Nothing you learn
10. My lover's box
My lover's charms are in a box
Underneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them until the end
chorus :
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
They burn my hands
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal you're breath
And throw away what I despise
chorus
Between theses walls
And darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die before I wake
Then you'll know why
chorus
Piece by piece
Send me an angel
Underneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them until the end
chorus :
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
They burn my hands
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal you're breath
And throw away what I despise
chorus
Between theses walls
And darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die before I wake
Then you'll know why
chorus
Piece by piece
Send me an angel
11. Fix me now
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy ever more
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
chorus :
Fix me now I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind somebody should
From hollow into light
Crushing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up and who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
chorus
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
chorus
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy ever more
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
chorus :
Fix me now I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind somebody should
From hollow into light
Crushing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up and who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
chorus
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
chorus
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
12. Milk
I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I'm aching for you
I'm waiting for you
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
I'm aching for you
I'm waiting for you
