Garbage Lyrics

#1 Crush

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 would cry for you 
I would cry for you 
I will wash away your pain with all my tears, I'm drowning on fear

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 talkin' 
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 missin' 
Throw away all the pain that I'm livin' 
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, 
Take the cross for you 
Make me a part of you 
Because I believe in you 
I believe in you 
I would die for you


back

You can look but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove


I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it 


Bend me break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me break me breaking down is easy
All I want is you


I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole


I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated 

Bend me break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me break me breaking down is easy
All I want is you (verse x2) 

Steal me
Deal me 
Anyway you heal me


Maim me
Tame me
You can never change me


Love me
Like me
Come ahead and fight me


Please me
Tease me
Go ahead and leave me 

Bend me break me anyway you need me
As long as I want is you it's alright (verse x2)

 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 ( X2 )
 I am weak, But I am strong
I can use my tears to bring you home
 I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you ( X3 )
 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 ( X3 )
I'm aching, I'm aching for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you 



back

I bit my tongue and stood in line, With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold, And ended up with nothing
 This is not my idea of a good time ( X3 )
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?
 This is not my idea of a good time ( X3 )
This is not my idea
 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
 This is not my idea of a good time ( X3 )
This is not my idea

 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
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
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
(Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down
(Pour your misery down)
 (You can keep it over me
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 upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
 Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...

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 

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 

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) 

Come on push it you can do it
Come on prove it nothing to it
Come on use it let's get through it
Come on 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 

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) 

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) 

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) 

Don't worry baby
We'll be alright 
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright

Push it X5

Hey boy, take a look at me, Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your heart 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
Your choke behind a smile, A fate 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 fate behind the fear
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
Your 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
 (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)


back

 in the middle of the night 
head on my pillow 
looking like a little ghost 
seems like all of the things 
that you gave me mother 
have all gone up in smoke
 in the middle of the night 
you don't know what I'm thinking
but still the stars do sparkle and shine 
seems like all of the time 
our boat was slowly sinking 
you didn't even seem to mind
 now all I want to do is sleep 
now all I want to do is sleep
 now all I want to do is sleep 



back

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...

Do you have an opinion ? 
A mind of your own ? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 

I used to amuse you 
I knew that I'd lose you 
Now you're here and begging for a chance 
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 
But I've run out of patience 
I've run out of comments 
I'm tired of the violence 
I couldn't care less 

I'm looking for a new X4

You were the talk of the town X4

I thought you were special X4



back

You pretend you're high
Pretend you're bored
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
Can't believe you fake it
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


back

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 obsessions
There'll be nothing but this
Thing that you'll never doubt
 It is hard to resist and I never have missed
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 that you'll never doubt
This thing you'll never doubt
And I'll feed your obsessions
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
 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...



back

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
 Ah, you burn and burn to get under my skin
You've gone too 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 fuck 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 you
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
When it comes to you

back

Cut my tongue out 
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut 

Happy hours 
Golden showers 
On a cruise to freak you out 

We could fly a 
Helicopter 
Nothing left to talk about 

Entertain you 
Celebrate you 
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

Trying hard to 
Fit among you 
Floating out to wonderland 

Unprotected 
God I'm pregnant 
Damn the consequences 

When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

Blood and blisters 
On my fingers 
Chaos rules when we're apart 

Watch my temper 
I go mental 
I'll try to be gentle 

When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

When I grow up 
When I grow up 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

Bridge: 
Don't take offense
Better make amends 
Rip it all to shreds 
And let it go 

I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go

i know how to hurt 
i know how to heal 
i know what to show 
and what to conceal 

i know when to talk 
and i know when to touch 
no one ever died 
from wanting too much 

the world is not enough 
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love 
and if you're strong enough 
together we can take the world apart, my love 

people like us 
know how to survive 
there's no point in living 
if you can't feel alive 

we know when to kiss 
ad we know when to kill 
if we can't have it all 
then nobody will 

the world is not enough 
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love 
and if you're strong enough 
together we can take the world apart, my love 

i feel sick 
i feel scared 
i feel ready 
and heaven prepare 

the world is not enough 
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love 
and if you're strong enough 
together we can take the world apart, my love 
the world is not enough 
the world is not enough 
no, nowhere near enough 
the world is not enough 

back

nothing that you say will release you 
nothing that you pray will forgive you 
nothing is 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 

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 conscience with it as it falls 

nothing said can change the fact 
my trust was blind you broke the pact 
if god is my witness god must be blind 

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 

i wish 
i wish 
i wish 
i wish 

take it back how dare you take it back 
no you can't? you should have thought of that 
what's inside a man that can go so wrong? 

choke on guilt thats far too good for you 
say one word i'll laugh and bury you 
leave you in the place where you left me 

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 

i wish i could fly 
as angels can fly 

i wish 
i wish 



back

hanging by threads of pale 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? 

a stroke of luck or a gift from God? 
the hand of fate of 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 
a stroke of luck or a gift from god? 
the 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 

a stroke of luck or a gift from God? 
the hand of fate of 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 
falling 
falling 
falling 
falling 
falling 
falling 
falling 
falling

back

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 and 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 

nothing you learn 
nothing you learn 
nothing you learn 
nothing you learn 

i never would have picked you 
for what you have become 
everyone lies 
everyone cheats 
not like you've done 

dog new tricks 
nothing you learn will stick 
dog new tricks 
you make me feel so worthless 

nothing you learn 
nothing you learn 
nothing you learn 
nothing you learn

my lover's germs 
are in a box 
beneath my bed 
and piece by piece 
i 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 
piece by piece 
a little piece of heaven 
piece by piece 
send me an angel to love 
piece by piece

piece by piece 
i'll never get to heaven 
piece by piece 
send me an angel
