Album Debut "GARBAGE"
Supervixen (Garbage: #1)
Come down to my house And stick a stone in your mouth You can always pull out If you like it too much
Make a whole new religion A falling start that you cannot live without And I'll feed your obsession There'll be nothing but this thing 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 obsessions There is nothing but this thing 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
(Now I want it too much, now I want it to stop Now I'm lucky like a falling star fell over me [repeat])* Bow down to me... [repeat]

Queer (Garbage: #2)
Hey boy, take a look at me Let me dirty up your mind I'll strip away your hard veneer And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer The strangest of the strange The coldest of the cool The lamest of the lame The numbest of the dumb I hate to see you here You choke behind a 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 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 By holding back the tears Choking on 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 dying 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
The queerest of the queer The strangest of the strange The coldest of the cool The lamest of the lame The numbest of the dumb I hate to see you here You choke behind a smile A fake behind the fear The queerest of the queer 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 You can touch me if you want You can touch me You can touch me But you can't stop
Only Happy When It Rains (Garbage: #3)
I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when it's complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it I'm only happy when it rains You know I love it when the news is bad Or 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 Pour 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 your misery down (down on misery down) Pour your misery down on me (down on misery down) Pour your misery down (down on misery down) Pour your misery down on me (down on misery down) Pour your misery down (down on misery down) Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down) Pour your misery down (down on)
You can keep me company As long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains You'll want to hear about my new obsession I'm riding high upon a deep depression I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me) [repeat]
As Heaven is Wide (Garbage: #4)
Nothing that you say will release you Nothing that you pray would forgive you Nothing's what your words mean to me Something that you did will destroy you 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 And take its conscience 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...I wish...I wish...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 where you left me
CHORUS
I wish I could fly As angels can fly
Not My Idea (Garbage: #5)
I bit my tongue and stood in line With not much too believe in I bought into what I was sold And ended up with nothin'
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 burnin' down your house
CHORUS
A Stroke of Luck (Garbage: #6)
Hanging by threads of palest silver I could have stayed that way forever Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me Nothing could ever seem to touch me I lose what I love most Did you know I was lost until you found me
Stroke of luck or gift from God? The hand of fate or devil's claws? From below or saints above? You came to me Here comes the cold again I feel it closing in It's falling down and all around me, falling
You say that you'll be there to catch me Or will you only try to trap me These are the rules I make Our chains were meant to break You'll never change me
Here comes the cold again I feel it closing in You're falling down and all around me, falling Stroke of luck or gift from God? Hand of fate or devil's claws? From below or saints above? You come to me now
Don't ask me why Don't even try
Stroke of luck or gift from God? Hand of fate or devil's claws? From below or saints above? You came to me now Here comes the cold again I feel it closing in It's falling down all around me, falling Fallin'... [repeat]
Vow (Garbage: #7)
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
I nearly died I nearly died I nearly died 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 drag you down I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart You burn and burn to get under my skin You've gone to far, now I won't give in You crucified me, but I'm back in your bed Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead
I nearly died I nearly died I nearly died 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 your little world apart And break your soul apart
I nearly died Oh, I nearly died I nearly died 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 Tear your little world apart And break your soul apart I can't stop when it comes to you I can't stop when it comes to me When it comes to you When it comes to me..
Stupid Girl (Garbage: #8)
You pretend you're high Pretend you're bored You pretend you're anything Just to be adored And 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 You stupid girl All you had you wasted All you had you wasted
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 You stupid girl Can't believe you fake it Can't believe you fake it Don't believe in fear Don't believe in pain Don't believe in anyone That you can't tame
You stupid girl You stupid girl All you had you wasted All you had you wasted You stupid girl You stupid girl I can't believe you fake it I can't believe you fake it You stupid girl You stupid girl Can't believe you fake it Can't believe you fake it You stupid girl
Dog New Tricks (Garbage: #9)
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
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
Dog new tricks Nothing you learn will stick Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless
I never would have pegged you For what you have become Everyone lies, everyone cheats Not like you've done
Dog new tricks Nothing you learned will stick Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless Dog new tricks Nothing you learned will stick Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless Nothing you learn.. [repeat]
My Lover's Box (Garbage: #10)
My lover's charms are in a box Beneath my bed And piece by piece I'll cherish them Until the end
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 hand, scar my face And blind my eyes I'll steal your breath and throw away What I despise
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
Between these walls and darkened halls I've done my time If I should die before I wake Then you'll know why
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...piece by piece Send me an angel to love...piece by piece I need to feel a little piece of heaven...piece by piece Send me an angel to love...piece by piece I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven...piece by piece Send me an angel...piece by piece [repeat]
Fix Me Now (Garbage: #11)
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
Fix me now, I wish you would..fix me now Bring me back to life...fix me now Kiss me blind, somebody should..fix me now From hollow into light
Crashing silent, broken down Fallin' 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
Fix me now, I wish you would..fix me now Bring me back to life...fix me now Kiss me blind, somebody should...fix me now From hollow into light
Oh, oh, oh yeah [repeat]
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
Fix me now I wish you would...fix me now Bring me back to life...fix me now Fix me now somebody should...fix me now From hollow into light [repeat] Things don't have to be this way Catch me on a better day [repeat 4 times]
Milk (Garbage: #12)
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 [repeat 2x]
I am weak But I am strong I can use my tears to Bring you home
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you [repeat 3x]
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 waiting, I'm waiting for you I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you I'm breaking, I'm aching for you I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting for you
Subhuman (B-side, Japanese version: #13)
Burn down all your idols Destroy your idols Create a scene There goes all your reason It's helter-skelter It's not a dream Come down from the altar Remove your blindfold What do you see? Nothing left to do here There's nothing new here It's all the same
You're going down, down, down How low can you go? [repeat]
Hare hare Krishna Was that your sister? A cover girl A wasted prima donna She lost her way here She disappeared Come back to your altar And build a fire It's getting cold Nothing stops the rain here There's not a soul here You're all alone
You're going down, down, down How low can you go [repeat]
Kill the new religion No inhibition No alibi Televised confession A true obsession Is on the rise Miscommunication Disinformation A perfect waste Bite the sacred apple Suck the poison Enjoy the taste
You're going down, down, down How low can you go? [repeat] You're going down, down, down [repeat] How low can you go? How low can you go? [repeat]
#1 Crush (B-side, Romeo + Juliet soundtrack: #1, Japanese version: #14)
I would die for you I would die for you I've been dying just to feel you by my side To know that you're mine
I will cry for you I will cry for you I will wash away your pain with all my tears And drown your fears
I will pray for you I will pray for you I will sell my soul for something pure and true Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in Hear your voice every time that I'm talking You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored
I will burn for you Feel pain for you I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart And tear it apart I will lie for you Beg and steal for you I will crawl on hands and knees until you see You're just like me
Violate all the love that I'm missing Throw away all the pain that I'm living You will believe in me And I can never be ignored
I would die for you I would kill for you I will steal for you I'd do time for you I will wait for you I'd make room for you I'd sink ships for you To be close to you To be part of you Because I believe in you I believe in you I would die for you
