B i o g r a p h y Garbage built on the sonic landscapes of My Bloody Valentine, Curve, and Sonic Youth, adding a distinct sense of accessible pop songcraft. Garbage was the brainchild of producers Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker. Initially, Garbage was an informal jam session between the three producers held in Marker's basement, but they eventually recruited vocalist Shirley Manson, who had previously sang with Angelfish and Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie. Vig is a native of Viroqua, WI, who learned to play piano as a child and drums as a teenager. He attended the University of Wisconsin briefly before pursuing a career in music instead. The first band he joined after leaving college was Spooner, who he played drums with. Also in Spooner was Erikson, who sang and played guitar with the band. Marker was a native of New York who moved to Wisconsin to attend college. He became a fan of Spooner and began recording their songs. Vig left Spooner shortly afterwards, but he kept in touch with the band. After a few years, Spooner became Firetown and Vig played drums in the new outfit. Firetown broke up in the late '80s, without achieving much success. Prior to the formation of Firetown, Vig and Marker bought an eight-track cassette recorder together and set up a makeshift studio in a local warehouse. This studio was dubbed Smart Studios and Vig recorded numerous local punk and alternative bands at the warehouse. By the late '80s, Smart had become one of the hippest recording studios in America. Many records released on Touch & Go, Sub Pop, and Twin/Tone, among other indie labels, were made at Smart. Vig and Smart broke into the big time in 1991, after he produced Nirvana's Nevermind. Nevermind elevated Butch Vig to the status of a superstar producer and for the next two years, he produced numerous American alternative superstars, including Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and L7. Shortly after Vig became a star, he and Marker began playing together, eventually asking Erikson to join them. Hence, Garbage was officially formed in 1993, after Erikson joined the duo. After a year of playing, they hired Shirley Manson after seeing Angelfish on MTV. Manson began her musical career at an early age, joining Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie as a teenager; she played keyboards and sang backing vocals in the band. For the next few years, she toured with the band before leaving to form Angelfish, whom she led through an eponymous 1994 album. Garbage recorded their debut album in late 1994 and early 1995. Their eponymous first album appeared in the fall of 1995 on Almo Sounds. After receiving support from radio and MTV, the album began to climb the charts toward the end of 1995, when the second single, "Queer," received heavy airplay. By the summer of 1996, Garbage had gone gold in the United States, and shortly afterward it achieved platinum status, as "Only Happy When It Rains" and "Stupid Girl" became radio hits. After a brief break, Garbage began work on their second album in the summer of 1997. The record, entitled Version 2.0, was released in May the following year, preceded by the single "Push It." Four years later, they issued a sophisticated third album, Beautiful Garbage, and the first single "Androgyny" became a moderate radio hit. Bleed Like Me followed in 2005. |
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 will 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 will 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
Bow down to me, bow down to me
Now I want it
too much
Now I want it to stop
Now I want it 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
*** Thanx a lot to Atli who corrected this one ***
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
While 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
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
And 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
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 upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me ...
As heaven is wide
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 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 could change the fact
My trust was blind
You broke the pact
If God's 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, 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
And 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
Not my idea
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
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
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 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
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
A stroke
of luck
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?
A stroke of luck or a 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 a 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
A stroke of luck or a 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
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
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
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 cam 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 too far now I won't give in
You crucified me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming 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
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
Stupid girl
You pretend you're high
You 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 What drives you on
Can drive you mad 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
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
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
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
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 learn will stick Nothing will stick

You make me feel so worthless Nothing will stick
Dog new tricks Nothing will stick
Nothing you learn will stick Nothing will stick
Dog new tricks Nothing will stick
You make me feel so worthless Nothing will stick

My lover's box
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 hands
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
Piece by piece
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
Piece by piece, Send me an angel
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 evermore
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
Falling into night
Who gave up an 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 I wish you would, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Kiss me blind somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
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 somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way

Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Milk
I am milk
I am red-top kitchen

But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting

I can use my tears to
Bring you home

Version 2.0
Temptation
Waits
I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment
You come on like a drug (Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough (Here's to your fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more (Don't say it's over)
And there's so much at stake (Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste (I heard you say)
I never needed anybody like this before (Don't say it's over)
I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing
You come on like a drug (Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough (Here's to your fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more (Don't say it's over)
And there's so much at stake (Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste (I heard you say)
I never needed anybody like this before (Don't say it's over)
You are a secret
I need possession
I like to keep you guessing
You come on like a drug (Temptation waits)
I just can't get enough (Here's to your fate)
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more (Don't say it's over)
And there's so much at stake (Temptation waits)
I can't afford to waste (I heard you say)
I never needed anybody like this before (Don't say it's over)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
I Think I'm paranoid
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
Manipulated
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
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
Too complicated
Wicked
ways
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good
I'd keep my promises if only I could
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you
And I tried X4
Clutch your pictures of the pope
Pray to god for love and hope
Bring the virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
I've done things I never thought I'd do
Sure it helps to lose myself in you
A little time and I'll be all right
C'mon sugar let's go out tonight
Forgive your trespasses
And all that we've been through
And I tried X8
Clutch your pictures of the pope
Pray to god for love and hope
Bring the virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
That sinking feeling
When you are leaving
All I believed in
Walks out my door
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
The damage's done
There's nothing left to save
And I tried X7
Clutch your pictures of the pope
( Just like I told you )
Pray to god for love and hope
( Just like I warned you )
Bring the virgin home for luck
( Just like I told you )
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
( Just like I warned you )
You Look
So Fine
You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over
It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through living for you
I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We're wasting time
You're the only one for me
You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me
I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know
You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over
Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show)
Ending with letting go X3
Let's pretend happy end X4
*** Thanx a lot to Garbage.net for these lyrics of the upcoming album ***
Shut your mouth
Welcome
We love you
We hate you
We love you
We want you
We need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore
You're a sinner
That he had you
He made you
He can't live without you
Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it’s time
To settle down
With a man of your own
You want a baby
A family
A piece of security
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
Just shut your mouth
What's your opinion of the dire situation
In our land here
Our guest here
Of course you'll be nice here
How do you feel about God and religion
Are you good people
Bad people
Guess it doesn't matter people
Your place
My place
Make her bring that famous face
You got some
You want some
You wanna let me get you some
We know your music but of course we'd never buy it
It’s too fake man
Right man!
(We don't give a fucking damn)
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
I hear you say it
Play it smart girl
Win the game love
Give’em what they want
What they want to see and you could be a big star
You could go far
Make a landmark
What have you been reading you smart girl?
Win the game love
Give’em what they want
What they want to see and you could be a big star
You could go far
Make a landmark
Make a shit load
And the world spins by
With everybody moaning
Pissing, bitching and everyone is shitting
On their friends
On their love
On their oaths
On their honour
On their graves
Out their mouths
And their words say nothing
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it
Just shut your mouth
I waited to say something
Oh shut your mouth
I wanted to say something
Just shut your mouth
I wanted to say something
Oh shut your mouth
I wanted to be something
Just shut your mouth
Androgyny
When everything is going wrong
And you can't see the point in going on
Well nothing in life is set in stone
There's nothing that can't be turned around
Nobody wants to feel alone
And everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum
Why can't we all just get along
Boys
Boys in the girls' room
Girls
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys
Boys in the parlor
Girls
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind and your androgyny
No sweeter a taste that you could find
Than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine
There's never been an oyster so divine
A river deep that never runs dry
What you need X11
The birds and the bees they hum along
Like treasures that twinkle in the sun
Get on board and have some fun
Take what you need to turn you on
Boys
Boys in the girls' room
Girls
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys
Boys in the parlor
Girls
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I'll free your
Boys
Behind closed doors and under stars
Girls
It doesn't matter where you are
Boys
Collecting jewels that catch your eye
Girls
Don't let a soulmate pass you by
Boys in the girls' room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
Boys in the girls' room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder

I'll free your
Boys, girls
Boys, girls
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
Can't find it in the bible
Can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me that just won't allow me to
Can't find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it
I can't even find it in you
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
There's no way she can kiss you the way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of who you keep talking to
Long nights without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my losses
Think no more about it because I couldn't find it in you
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
And you don't want me any more
It's time to settle the score
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether
I've torn all your letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope
And it's time that I told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
It's time to settle the score
*** Thanx a lot to Meghan
for this one ***
Till the day I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
You walked into the room
The sun hit my eyes
The force you struck me down caught me by surprise
You sprung the mojo and it worked like a charm
I felt invincible with you in my arms
I must confess it can feel good to feel pain
Like breaking waves or getting caught in the rain
Playing those games cause we had nothing to do
I was oblivious I was losing to you
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
Holy Jesus
Holy rock’n’roll
The more I gave to you the more you grew bored
And making love became the waging of war
No peace
No tenderness
No fun anymore
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I dreamt that I called out your name
You turned your face to me and started to say
Something so beautiful it hurt deep inside
So I will love you till the day that I die
Farewell
Farewell
I'm sure gonna leave you (I will love you till the day that I die)
Farewell
Farewell
I'm sure gonna leave you (I will love you till the day that I die)
Farewell
Farewell (I will love you till the day that I die)
I'm sure gonna leave you (I will love you till the day that I die)
Farewell
Farewell (I will love you till the day that I die)
I'm sure gonna leave you (I will love you till the day that I die)
Farewell
Farewell (I will love you till the day that I die)
I'm sure gonna leave you (I will love you till the day that I die)
Farewell
Farewell (I will love you till the day that I die)
I'm sure gonna leave you
You tell me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets
Hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
You left behind some clothes
My belly somersaults
When I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
And no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
*** Thanx a lot to Meghan
& Robbin for this one ***
Silence Is Golden
If I am silent
Then I am not real
But if I speak up then
No one will hear
If I wear a mask there's
Somewhere to hide
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
If I raise my voice
Will someone get hurt
And if I can't feel then
I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken
Then no lies can hide
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
Silence is golden
Nobody gets in
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
Did you hear me speak
Do you understand
Did you hear my voice
Will you hold my hand
Do you understand me
Won't someone listen
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin
Safe in my own skin
Won't someone listen
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Something was stolen
I have been broken
I have been broken
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
Cherry Lips (go baby go!)
She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen
You're so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you'd go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast
You're so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance
Go baby go go
We're right behind you
Go baby go go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh ,we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we're right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we're looking at you
You hold a candle in your heart
Go baby go go
You shine the light on hidden parts
Go baby go go
You make the whole world wanna dance
Go baby go go
You bought yourself a second chance
Go baby go baby go
Delicate boy
Go baby go baby go
In the hysterical realm
Go baby go baby go
Of an emotional landslide
Go baby go baby go
In physical terms
Go baby go go
Go
Yeah, we're looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh, we're right behind you
Breaking Up The Girl
In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world
There’s an art to growing old
Taking chances
Magic happens
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
I am afraid that there's much to be afraid of
Here today and gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter
Just like the one before
You're just the same
Such a loser
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
You've got to let her go because you're breaking up the girl
The girl
One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
You're breaking up the girl
You're breaking up the girl
The girl
*** Thanx a lot to Meghan
for this one ***
It's funny how
Even now
You still support me after all of the things that I've done
You're so good to me
Waiting patiently
And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care
I never said I was perfect
But I can take you away
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I
I never said I was perfect
But I can drive you home
I got down on myself
Working too hard
Driving myself to death
Trying to beat out the faults in my head
What a mess I've made
Sure we all make mistakes
But they see me so large
That they think I'm immune to the pain
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I
I'm praying for a miracle
But I won't hold my breath
I never said I was perfect
But can you take me home
*** Thanx a lot to Meghan for this one ***

Oh let’s bomb the factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let’s burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses
As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots at you
Believing in nothing
Makes life so boring
So let’s pray for something
To feel good in the morning
As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots at you
Kaboom!
Get it right
Get it right now

Oh doctor
We're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to
As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots at you
Oh let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning
In the morning
As far as I can tell (Get it right now)

Nobody loves you
Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast
Working our fingers to the bone
Cause nobody loves you when you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where all of my love comes pouring out
You know you'll always be my man
But grab yourself sweetness where you can
Cause sooner or later we're gonna die
Left to the dogs under the sky
I cracked a piece of broken glass
I cracked a piece of broken glass
Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where waves of my love come tumbling out
You say that all the good is gone
That I have forgotten who I am
Free as a bird
Wild as the wind
But somehow I cannot let you in
Untouchable
This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There’s nothing you can do
Or take from me
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one’s untouchable
You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe
And you're not risking enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one
To bring you down
It’s all your fault
Cause you got caught
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one’s untouchable
It must be nice
To be so sure
And never feel insecure
It must feel good to believe
You're always right
And you're never wrong
You've got something to say
You say it to my face
And be a man about it
You got a problem with me
Don't go behind my back
Just like a baby
Untouchable (pride comes before)
You think you're untouchable (you take a fall)
You know (you'd best beware)
No one’s untouchable (a woman scorned)
Untouchable (pride comes before)
You think you're untouchable (you take a fall)
You know (you'd best beware)
No one’s untouchable (a woman scorned)
No one's untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know, no one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
Baby thinks he's dying
Lost inside his bedroom
Mommy won't stop crying
And daddy's always working
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
On this one
Baby wakes up with the sun
While everyone is sleeping
He thinks he's going crazy
But this could be the big one
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
Sleeping with ghosts
It's such a lonely experience
The stars are out tonight
Only they can hear you breathing
You're so like a rose
You're so like a rose
You're so like a rose
I wish you could stay here
*** Thanx a lot to Meghan for this one ***
Bad boyfriend

Come check it and see
There's something burning and rolling in me
We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends
Cmon baby be my bad boyfriend
I wanna hear you call out my name
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Keep you on ice so I can show all my friends
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
So ripe so sweet come suck it and see
But watch out daddy I sting like a bee
I know some tricks I swear will give you the bends
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
My fever's rising you ran into luck
Say what sugar
You wanna get what
I wanna give you one hundred and ten
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
It's wild the way you tease me
It's wild the way you free me
It's wild the way you reach me
Wrapped me up in your wire from the start
You've got the women waiting in line
I'm not asking you to make up your mind
I can make you happy at least now and then
I've got something special for my bad boyfriend
If you can't love me honey go on just pretend

Run baby
run
Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack
Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Life can be so cruel
Don't it astound you
When nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you
You can keep it pure on the inside
And you know what you believe to be right
So you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack
Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Find out who you are before you regret it
'Cause life is so short there's no time to waste it
So run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run
Go on
Run my baby run my baby run
Go on
Run my baby run my baby run
Right
between the eyes
Don't care what they have to say
Why you listening to them anyway
Why do you have to give them what they want?
They love to watch you as you fall apart
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes
Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you
That's why they try to make a fool of you
They're so jealous of my pretty star
Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes
And you've been waiting all your life
To fly high into somebody else
And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world
Life's a bitch and then you die my love
Don't care what they have to say
You shouldn't listen to them anyway
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time take them right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
People like to build you up
Then they'll stab you in the back like that
You know it breaks my heart
Can't see you going out like that
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Why Do You Love Me
I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
So
I've done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird
hanging upon your every word
Nothing ever smells of roses that rides out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
You're not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised
You're sick of all the rules
Well I'm sick of all your lies
Now I've held back a wealth of shit
I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows
With the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise
When I tell you I don't feel good
That nothing ever came from nothing man
Oh man ain't that the truth
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it
I do it again
I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof
But I think that I'm right
And you've still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad
Most of the time
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it
I do it again
I do it again
I do it again
I do it again
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
*** Thanx a lot to Claire who corrected a mistake ***
Bleed like me
Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin
And she says
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Come on baby can you bleed like me
Chrissie's all dressed up and acting coy
Painted like a brand new christmas toy
He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
And he says
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Oh come on baby can you bleed like me
Doodle takes dad's scissors to her skin
And when she does relief comes setting in
While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes
She sings
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Come on baby can you bleed like me
Therapy is speedie's brand new drug
Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun
It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun
And she cries
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Oh come on baby can you bleed like me
JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar
After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star
Getting all nostalgic as he sings 'I will survive'
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Oh come on baby can you bleed like me
Hey baby can you bleed like me
Oh come on baby can you bleed like me
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
And try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
And try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
You should see my scars
You should see my scars
*** Thanx a lot to

Metal
heart
I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
As you think I am
But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
I wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use
Now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round
I want to be dependable
I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love
I wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
For then I could be saved
My sweet lord take care of me
For I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek
Lay my burden down
Lay my burden down
But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round
The world is round
The world is round
Sex is
not the enemy
No evolution
Sometimes it depresses me
The same old same
Oh we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction
Sex is not the enemy
A revolution is the solution
A revolution is the solution
I won't feel guilty
No matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed 'cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart and sex is not my enemy
A revolution is the solution
A revolution is the solution
True love is like gold
There's not enough to go around
But then there's God
And doesn't God love everyone
Give me a choice
Give me a chance to turn the key
And find my voice
Sex is not the enemy
A revolution is the solution
A revolution is the solution
Sex is not the enemy
A revolution...
It's all
over but the crying
Everything you think you know baby is wrong
And everything you think you had baby is gone
Certain things turn ugly when you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts change into things you can't turn off
Everything you think you know baby is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Do you really think I'm made of stone baby, come on
That we only love the things we own, baby you're wrong
Certain things just happen when you make no plans
And love can really tear you up and it can break you down
Everything you think you know baby is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Baby we're done
If I could I would
I'd change everything
'Cause I can't forget you
Though you don't believe me
Now I can't walk back
I can't leave behind
Where does it go
All the light that we had
Everything you think you know baby is wrong
And everything you think you had baby is gone
Baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Oh baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Baby we're done (Baby we're done)
Oh baby we're done
The boys
wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight

But the girls are happy to dance all night
They know best how they can mess with us
Nursing an opinion's getting dangerous
And in a world where good's not good enough
Let's get loaded and kick up a fuss
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else
Anybody else
Is there anybody else
Anybody else
What a mess we've made, it's ridiculous
The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos
It's gets so funny that we get confused
We don't know where to turn 'cause we've all been used
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
Is there anybody else
Anybody else
Is there anybody else

Let's get loaded
(oh let's be selfish)
Let's get wasted
(and lose our senses)
Let's get shit faced
(so we can fake it)
Let's get stupid
(just entertain us)
Let's get wicked
(desensitize us)
Let's get toasted
(don't educate us)
Let's get hammered
(yeah paralyze us)
Let's forget it
(don't count on all )
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight

Of saying nothing
So let's get loaded
The boys wanna fight

Why
don't you come over
It's been a crazy time for us
Of pushing all our limits
Snapping necks and breaking balls
Now you'd have done the same
But you were baking biscuits
While I went bent the law
Sacrificing something
As you counted all my flaws
Oh why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
And walk in my shoes
You wanna live freely
Don't wanna die
You want it
You got it
You chase the high
You wanna be out there
You wanna race
You wanna take over
Just gotta play
Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
And walk in my shoes
I'm a good person
Don't wanna fight with no-one
But you piss me off
You keep pushing, pushing
You'd best step off the gas, man
All bets are off, fuck you
You taste like toxic poison
I wash my hands of you
Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
So why don't you come over
And walk in my shoes
Walk in my shoes
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you
Happy
home
In my happy home
I barely breathe
In my lovers arms
I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing
And a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life
Was heading to run out
In my lovers arms I wait for morning
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm
In my happy home
I read the signs
In my lovers arms
I move in time
There's no more crying
And there's no more lies
I never once in my sweet short life
Was waiting for desire
And there's no more crying
And there's no more pain
I never thought for one second
I'd have nothing left but shame
In my happy home
I barely breathe
I never once in my wayward life
Was heading to run out
( Romeo & Juliet OST )
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 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 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
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you
13 X
forever
Thirteen times you, with my karma
And thirteen times I fucked up your dogma
You taught me to hate
You taught me to crawl
You raised your hand as you raised the bottle
You knock me down but it made me stronger
The harder you hit
The harder you fall
And this one is for my mother
What will I do without her
Don't look back
Don't even bother
And this one is for the father
Who loves his little daughter
Well here I am
Don't even bother
You can freak out about me
But you'd lose your mind without me
You thought you could see right through me
But it made no difference to me
Anyway, anyway
A free reign gave you ammunition
To play the game and, other women
And something just snapped
And cracked in my brain
A thirteen times I sucked up inside me
The different ways that you tried to harm me
You did it once
You'll do it again
And this one is for my sister
You dare to denigrate her
Don't look back
Don't even bother
And this one's for my lover
The one who had to suffer
Well here I am
Don't even bother
You can freak out about me
But you'd lose your mind without me
You thought you could see right through me
But it made no difference to me
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway
Thirteen times, one, thirteen times, two
Thirteen times, three, thirteen times, four
Thirteen times, five, thirteen times, six
Thirteen times, seven, thirteen times eight

All The Good In This Life
(Songs For Tibet: Art Of Peace LP)
Once when I was a girl
I could've given you a ride for your money
Oh but how times have changed
Although you do look cute in those red cowboy boots
No, you don't mess around
But you're just a kid
You don't know what it takes
No one can stop you now
Anymore than they can tell the wind not to blow
Who's going to run you now
With the riders in the dirt back on astelin turf
I cant tell you what to do
You're free as a bird
Go do what you've got to do
Don't you worry, boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
Don't you worry, boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
All the good in this life
Wish for yourself
All the good in this life
Wish for yourself
All the good in this life
Wish for yourself
All the good in this life
Wish for yourself
April Tenth
It was April the tenth,
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell
Things hadn't been good
For you for a while
'Cause I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard
And Ruth dropped in
With the letter you wrote
And I read it aloud
To prove that I could
And we were both laughing
'Cause we know how you are
We never thought
Your quitting was good
We thought that you knew you
But I guess that we don't
Are you heavenly or
Just like the past?
We called you "the black penny"
Remember that?
The sea is wide
The streets are long
There's blood in all our hands
With the catalyst gone
And only what's left to us
Is history built on dust
On sweat and on poet's words
Great nations and governments
[sweet?] Lies and victories,
Eager and keen to please
Those [junkies?] Are everywhere
With their thousand-yard stare
We all end up the same
Like little lambs to meet their end

Badass
( Run baby run EP )
Alright, okay
It’s guys like you baby
That gives the a boys a bad name
Keep your hands where I can see them
Get the man out of me
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
Woop woop
Alright, okay
You have a world of your own
Ba ba da da da do
Such a ba ba da da da do
Ba ba da da da do
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
So head on home tonight honey
Just be glad we didn’t kill anybody
And I swear i’ll never tell anybody
You were always looking at yourself in my mirror
So be there a quarter but get out son (?)
Bop bop duh nuh...
We’ll be squealing like animals
When I’m on my knees
I’m desperate, and I hear you’re liking me
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
So head on home tonight honey
Just be glad we didn’t kill anybody
And I swear i’ll never tell anybody
You were always looking at yourself in my mirror
So be there a quarter but get out son (?)
Think you’re such a badass
Think you’re such a wrap
Think you’re such a rebel
*scatting*
Think you’re such a badass
Da da da da duh
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
I’m pure platinum
Got the disc at home
Na na na na fun ...
You're just like a dog With your
begging bone
You're always chasing psychos down those rabbit holes
You like them the best 'cause they are dangerous
And they get off on you and your subservience
What can I do?
Can't make a monkey out of you
I can't keep you on a leash
Can't lock you in your room
I can't make you perfectly
Suspicious of the world
Can't teach you lessons
That you never want to learn
You started to believe
That you're completely unlovable
Which makes us want to laugh
'Cause you're adorable
You say you've been depressed
But no doubt you'll get over it
And get back on your feet
Just like a pugilist
What can I do?
Can't make a monkey out of you
I can't keep you on a leash
Can't lock you in your room
I can't make you perfectly
Suspicious of the world
Can't teach you lessons
That you never want to learn
It's ok to be afraid
Of what's inside another mind
An invitation to discover
And explore the other side
It's ok to be afraid
Of finding out you really care
Like a hammer crashing down
Between the clouds out of the air
Pray that they come through
Of course they never do
Of course they never do (X 4)

Butterfly
collector
( The Jam )
So you finally got what you wanted,
You've achieved your aim by making the walk in line,
And when you just can't get any higher,
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber,
And the small fame that you've acquired,
Has brought you into cult status but to me you're still a collector.
There's tarts and whores but you're much more,
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds,
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no brains,
It's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you.
And you've started looking much older,
And you're fashion sense is second rate like your perfume,
But to you in your own little dream world,
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors.
You carry on 'cause it's all you know,
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew,
You get from day to day by filling your head,
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off.
And I don't care about morals,
'Cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway,
And I don't feel any sorrow,
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors.
There's tarts and whores but you're much more,
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds,
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no brains,
It's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you.
You carry on 'cause it's all you know,
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew,
You get from day to day by filling your head,
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off.
And I don't feel any sorrow,
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors.

Colour me your colour, baby

Colour me your colour, darling
I know who you are
Come up off your colour chart
I know where you're coming from
Call me, call me in my life
Call me, call me any day or night
Call me, call me for a ride
When you're ready for your sweet delight
Call me
Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets

Emotions come I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi
Call me, call me on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me, call me, oh my love
When you're ready we can share the wine
Call me
Ooh, he speaks the languages of love (what language is that)
Ooh, amore, amore, chiamami, chiamami, chiamami
Ooh, appelle-moi, appelle-moi, mon cherie
Anytime, any place, anywhere, anyway

Candy says
I've come to hate my body
All that it requires in this world
Candy says
I'd like to know completely
What others so discretely talk about
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when i'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
Candy says
I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says
I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when i'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
Can't Get You Out Of My Head
(Live / Kylie Minogue cover)

I just can't get you out of my head
And your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
And it's more than I dare to think about
La la la …
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about
Every night, every day
Just to be lost in your arms
Set me free
Won't you stay with me?
Oh for ever and ever and ever and ever
La la la …

seem to make you mine
( Sky Saxon / The seeds )
I can't seem to make you mine
Kissing all around all the time
Flying around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I try everything I know, oh
To make you wanna love me so, oh
The only things you do, oh
Is try to put the hurt on me, oh
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath every step I take
I'm more in love with you
Oh I can't go on like this
A little bit of love and not one kiss
I've gotta have your love every day
One never fade and stay, oh
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you, oh
I can't seem to make you mine, oh
I can't seem to make you mine, oh
Kissing all around all the time
I can't seem to make you mine, oh
Flying around like a bee
Hurting everything you see
I can't seem to make you mine, oh
I can't seem to make you mine, oh
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine.

Car, car, car, car, car, car
Let's get behind the wheel,
We'll go driving
To the mountains,
To the rooftops.
We can take it nice and slow,
I'll be driving
To the iceburgs,
To the edges
Car, get in the car,
Car, get in the car.
Heading to the clouds,
Past the buildings
By the harbor,
Through the storm.
Tear across the page,
By the marker
Leave the light on,
By the boy's side.
Car, get in the car,
Car, get in the car.
I can make an honest man of you,
I can make you clean if you want me to,
I can make you go very far,
Just take the car.
Get in the car,
Car, get in the car
Take the car ( gotta feel to make it real ) X9
Searchin' for fun
With nowhere to go,
Got your leather boots on
But what do you know
And they're playing garbage on the radio
Enter the dark
You wanna run
Enter the night
Where nobody knows you
Where the boys are and everybody's high
If enough is never enough
And you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down
Then come with us
If enough is never enough
And you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down
Then come with us
Back to the bar
Where the place is slamming
All the pretty queens and the sluts are dancin'
And the conscience of politicians' sly
All sweat and lust and filthy habits
All the wannabes are going to sell their package
At the carnival of the lonely broken hearts
If enough is never enough
And you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down
Then come with us
If enough is never enough
And you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down
Then come with us
If enough is never enough
And you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down
Then come with us
Come with us
Come with us
Come with us
Come with us

Well I might just consider this
If you don't let me down
If you can keep me happy
Well you can stick around
Now I don't care for sycofants
They drive me 'round the bend
But if you can't control yourself
Then let's just keep good friends
Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?
Wooh ooh, wooh ooh !
Now there's something you should know about
I'm chronically depressed
I internalize my hatred
And sacrifice myself
Now I am busy saturday
But I am free tonight
And I might have to sort you out
If you don't do it right
Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?
Wooh ooh, wooh ooh !

You don’t even know my name

When you gonna notice me
God, you’re such a little tease
When you gonna finally land it on my lips
When you gonna give me just a little sip
You’re a honeybee, honeybee
Honeybee, you’re killing me
You don’t even know my name
I guess I ought to be ashamed
Going on the way I do
Watching you in everything
When you gonna give me just a little kick
Music in your heart and lying on your lips
You’re a honeybee, honeybee
Honeybee, you’re killing me
It’s hard to stumble in your harmonies
But just like nicotine and it gets complicated
You keep on pouring on the gasoline
And it’s the sweetest feeling, oh it gets me, gets me down
You don’t even know my name
How am I gonna reign you in
Tramping everything you see
You don’t own everything
When you gonna give me just a little hit
When you gonna give me just a little bit
You’re a honeybee, honeybee
Oh, honeybee, it’s killing me
You’re killing me, honeybee
You’re killing me, my honeybee

In The Snow
(Shirley Manson / Demo)
I'm one to talk
But you're so drunk you cannot walk
And you make no sense
Just slips and slurs between your lips
And your eyes have shrunk
To pins, like piss-holes in the snow
And you're so fucked up
You have no clue you missed my show
Two gritty hands
You've got them stuck inside my shirt
And I bite my tongue
'Cause I know that love's supposed to hurt
I'm feeling sick
I don't like the way you look at her
But you just laugh
And stick your tongue inside my mouth
If you don't want me, I don't care to know
'Cause in a moment I'll feel beautiful
We both collide like we are crashing cars
We fall together and forget ourselves
And in a moment we feel something new
There's no one else, there's only me and you
But when we pull apart I feel unloved
And you just become another thing I wish I hadn't done
You take me home
Like a piece of lint stuck on my clothes
Put a record on
And sit there mouthing all the words
And it don't feel good
As I press my back into the wall
With a little love
Better having that than none at all
If you don't love me, I don't care to know
'Cause in a moment I'll feel beautiful
We both collide like we are crashing cars
We fall together and forget ourselves
And in a moment we feel something new
There's no one else, there's only me and you
But when we pull apart I feel alive
And you just become another thing I wish I hadn't done
I wish I hadn't done
It never lasts
No one wants to feel unlovable
But everybody has a place you cannot touch
Everybody has a hungry mouth to feed
We fall into bed like we are second best
So once you rob the future
So once your rob ourselves
So in love with the problem
We'll be solving all our lives
( Robert Burns poem / Live Edinburgh, Scotland 01-07-99 )
John Anderson my Jo, John
When we were first acquent

Kick my ass
( Vic chesnutt Cover )
I'm so sorry you had to kick my ass,
You said I ruined your life,
I didn't mean to do that,
I had to untangle where we was intwined,
It was strangling me
Were you breathing so fine,
The jam I was in
When things weren't working out.
Led me to the brunt
Of your swinging bout.
I'm so sorry,
I regret everything,
What can I do
To have you take back that swing.
I'm so sorry
A scuffle ensued.
But things are much better
I guess thanks to you,
The jam I was in
When things weren't working out.
Led me to the brunt
Of your swinging bout.
I'm so sorry you had to pull my hair.
I had to take care of business,
A lot of business giving there.
Lick the pavement
You've got my number you
Know what I need
And I go crazy when
Ever I bleed
Won't you come over I
Swear I'll be nice
My girlfriend told me that
You got a wife
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
Oh won't you lick the pavement for me
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees
I know you're lonely 'cause
You're just like me
Why don't you call me you
Know where I'll be
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
Oh wont you lick the pavement for me
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do ...
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
Oh wont you lick the pavement for me
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees
Do do do do do do do when your on your knees do do do do X6
Oh won't you lick the pavement for me X3
Oh won't you lick the pavement for me, please, please...
Maybe
(Eric Avery feat. Shirley Manson / Help Wanted LP)
I feel so hollow
And my head feels like a crowd
And I know you don't mean to pretend
But you pretend anyway
So nothing will change
Counting the ways you put yourself to sleep
The days you put away for safe keeping
For maybe yes
For maybe no
For maybe not
Or just
Or just maybe
We're still alive
I hear your kind words
And that's some kind of miracle
It all sounds so hollow
And all that's better left unsaid
Will never make it across our bed
When you close the distance
Then what opens
What if all that's never said
And all that's in our heads
What if all that's never said
Got said
Counting the ways to put yourself to sleep
The days you put away for safe keeping
For maybe yes
For maybe no
For maybe not
Or just
Or just maybe
For maybe yes
For maybe no
Or just maybe
Or just maybe
( Sex is not the enemy EP )
You’ll never be free
You’ll never be free
This is the place where dreams begin
I wait right here for you, my friend
I shiver underneath your skin
A brazen thief who walks right in
You can beat yourself up to the beat of a drum
You can drink til you drop, til you can’t stand up
And it tastes so sweet, it tastes so sweet
You’ll never forgive me, you’ll never be free
You might as well kill me, you’ll never be free
You’ll never forgive me, you’ll never be free
You might as well kill me, you’ll never be free
I’ll be your master heroine
Your mother’s milk, your adrenaline
Are you a hunter just like me?
A lot of heart, a little crazy
You can beat yourself up to the beat of the drum
You can drink til you drop, til you can’t stand up
And it tastes so sweet, tastes so sweet
You’ll never forgive me, you’ll never be free
You might as well kill me, you’ll never be free
You’ll never forgive me, you’ll never be free
You might as well kill me, you’ll never be, never be free
Your house, your room, your mouth, your bed
Your ear, your heart, your veins, your blood
In your house, your room, your mouth, your bed
Your ear, your heart, your veins, your blood
You’ll never be free
You’ll never be, never be free
You’ll never be free
You’ll never be, never be free
You’ll never forgive me
You might as well kill me
( Why Do You Love Me EP )
Well, I set myself up big time
this time
With the notion that you try your best, then
Everyone wins
But nothing ever goes that
smoothly
And it won't end like a movie
Where the good guy always wins
Until you figure out
A way that you can live without
Stories with happy ends
Everyone I know's trying to get by
Fighting all the half-true lies
Nobody can win
They fill you up with expectations
Elevations and predictions that can't
Possibly fly
Cinderella's waiting tables
And the princess never did wake up
That's how it begins
Until you figure out
A way that you can live without
Stories with happy ends
Everyone I know's trying to get by
Fighting all the half-true lies
Nobody can win
Nobody can win
Nobody can win
Samson & Delilah
(Shirley Manson / Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles OST)
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had good looks and coal black hair
Delilah, she can ground on Samson's mind
When he saw this woman, she looked so fine
Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee
Said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair
'Til Samson said, "Delilah, cut off my hair"
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
People read about old Samson as far back as his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samson's walking, walking along
Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone
And he stretched out his arms
And his chains broke like thread
When he got to move, ten thousand men was dead
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
If I had my way (if I had my way)
If I had my way (if I had my way)
If I had my way
I would burn this building down
Well, Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight
And Samson, he jumped up and took on the lion's might
You won't know just how a lion kill a man with his paws
Well, Samson got his hands up round that lion's jaws
And he ripped that beast and he killed him dead
And the bees laid honey in the lion's head
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
If I had my way (if I had my way)
If I had my way (if I had my way)
If I had my way
I would burn this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
Sex Never Goes Out Of Fashion
She's the kind of girl who likes to do it stand up
From the back or anyway you want it, love
From the top if you keep it going all night
You're as good as the next for a fun time
Lookie here like a rabbit on the dancefloor
Party girl like you comin' in the back door
"c'mon boy, give it good, give an encore.."
Never leave a hungry sister begging one more
You keep it good and she'll beat you at your own game
Flip a switch and she's crying out her own name
Keep a lady happy as a little lamb
Give her head and you're riding on a sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
Wham bam slam it like a mama's man
Baby's on her back doin' the can-can
Such a babe-licious poco loco
Make her bob, make her beg and sweat it hardcore
Honky tonky lovin' keep her trembling
Funky style's never out of fashion, man
Keep it fresh with something for the weekend
Get some, daddy... You're riding on a sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
It's a sure shot... Honey, it's a sure shot
It's a sure shot, sure shot, sure shot
A little bit more
(Down her legs)
A little bit more
(Down her back)
A little bit more
(Down her neck)
A little bit more
(Down her arms)
A little bit more
(Down her breast)
A little bit more
(Down below)
A little bit more

*** Thanx a lot to Jake for this one ***
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
Soldier
Through This
You work too hard
So when you come home to me you are tired
And you don't want to talk about it
You envy my drive
And how I am motivated
We'll go down to the park
Check out the carnival for a while
And try to forget all about it
I'm out of control
And you don't appreciate it
Believe it
I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it
I want it
Don't make me leave you for it
You say I have changed
Self-centered and vain
And you don't respect me for it
The world is the same
So I play the game
And you've grown to hate me for it
So we rearranged
There's no one to blame
But still you resent me for it
I call all the shots
I hold all the cards
And you feel emasculated
Believe it
I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it
I want it
Don't make me leave you for it
Believe it
I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it
I want it
Don't make me leave you for it
Believe it
I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it
I want it
Don't make me leave you for it
How do we reconcile this X4
We're able to soldier through this X4

( Why Do You Love Me EP )
Use me and you lose me
No you're not excused, see
You jumped upon my back
And now I'm gonna break free
You're raising my blood faster than a heart attack, Mac
If you change your mind 'bout what's inside a girl
Watch what you wish for
Watch what you wish for
What are you like
When you're lost you make no sense
What are you like
Will you fight till' nothing's left
And just like the sun
Leap through each day, go back again
Just like the sun
Space can come through anyone
Space can come through anyone
Watch what you wish for darling, go!
There's nothing else for it
Cut it out, 'cause we've had it
Split it down the middle
Cut it, check 'em and cash it
Spin the green bottle, fill the world with love, Jack
If you change your mind about what's inside yourself
Watch what you wish for
Watch what you wish for
What are you like
When you're lost you make no sense
What are you like
Will you fight 'til nothing's left
And just like the sun
Leap through each day, go back again
Just like the sun
Space can come through anyone
Space can come through anyone
Just like the sun
Leap through each day, go back again
Just like the sun
Space can come through anyone
Just like the sun
Leap through each day, go back again
Just like the sun
Space can come through anyone
Space can come through anyone
Watch what you wish for
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? X3
Hare, hare krishna , was that your sister
A covergirl?
A wasted primadonna , 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? X3
Here we go now
Build a 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?
You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down X3
How low can you go?
How low can you go? X4

Built a king on compliments
Charisma and advertisements
Still they see him shimmer ephemeral
It ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural
Supernatural maybe
It was an out of body experience
Yes I flew around the hospital walls
Intravenous demerol
And it weren't supernatural
No, it weren't supernatural
Supernatural maybe
A sudden smell of hay
A certain view
Sparked off a case of the deja vu
Is it inexplicable?
No, no, it ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural
Supernatural maybe
(The Pretenders feat. Shirley
Manson / Decades Rock Live 2006)
Chrissie:
Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know
Was a time wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
Shirley:
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
It was the talk of the town
It's not my place to know what you feel
I'd like to know, but why should I
Who were you then, who are you now
Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
Chrissie & Shirley:
Back in my room I wonder, then I
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed, you've changed your place in this world
You've changed, you've changed your place in this world
Shirley:
Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
Chrissie:
I watch you still from a distance, then go
Back to my room, you never know
Chrissie & Shirley:
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed, you've changed your place in this world, your place in this
world
You've changed, you've changed your place in this world

Tell Me Where It Hurts
(Absolute Garbage LP)
What is my day going to look like
What will tomorrow bring me
If I had x-ray eyes, I could see inside
I wouldn't have to protect the future
I wish that you would do some talking
Or else am I to know what you're thinking
If only people would say what it really was
What it really was
What it really was that they wanted
Tell me where it hurts
To hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell
Did they ever give you a reason
To believe in something different
If you're looking for love, for what's worth
I have plenty of it lying around here somewhere
If you're looking for disappointment
You can find it around any corner
In the middle of the night I hold on to you tight
So both of us can feel protected
Tell me where it hurts
To hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, yeah I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell
I've been loved but I didn't know how to feel it
And I've been adored but I don't know if I ever believed it
I've been loved my whole life but I didn’t know how to take it
Until
So tell me where it hurts
To hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, yeah I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell
But you do, so they can go to hell
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts now
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts

The Trouble I'm In
(Gavin Rossdale feat. Shirley Manson / Wanderlust LP)
Gavin:
Who do you lie between
Who has your love
You give it like poppy seed
You flow in the blood
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war
You got soul that's dying again and again
You gotta let me in
You gotta let me in
She's under my skin
She's under my skin

Not looking for a scientist
I don't want a lift
Not looking for a doctor
To get me fixed
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war
You got soul that's dying again and again
You gotta let me in (you gotta let me in)
You gotta let me in (you gotta let me in)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)

All the trouble I'm in (the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (the trouble)
Gavin:
All eyes are watching me
I'm a stranger in this town
I must have lost my way
Since I took a turn awhile ago
These streets I do not know
Who do you lie between
Who has your love

I don't wanna fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war
You gotta let me in (you gotta let me in)
You gotta let me in (you gotta let me in)

She's under my skin (she's under my skin)

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 die from wanting to 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 the life
We know when to kiss
And 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...)I feel sick
(I...)I feel scared
(I...)I feel ready
(I...)And yet unprepared
The world is not
enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said about "Paint It black"
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
And would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, then, let me know
If it's "no," well, I can go.
I won't make you.
Come on Shirl...
You got a thing that thing gets me on fire
Come on Shirl...
Gets me on fire...
Be easy on me
I'm fragile
I'm easily
Broken
Be careful with me
I'm a fighter
And you're a cheat and
You're a liar
I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore
Be easy on me
Don't trip my wire
I'm a freak and
I'm on fire
Be easy on me
Trip my wire
I'm a freak and
I'm on fire
I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore
Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch babe
And I'm on fire
Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch babe
And I'm on fire
Be careful with me
Be careful with me
Be careful with me
I'm fragile
Don't you trip, tripping on my wire
I'm a freak, freak, freak but baby I'm on fire
I don't need this anymore
This isn't what I came here for
Use me
I'm beautiful
Take me
I'm yours
Hurt me
It feels like medicine
And all I deserve
People have funny things
Swimming inside
They swing like pendulums
That turn like the tides
Darling
I don't need money
I could be happy
With someone to love
Oh what a crazy time
I've been a fool
On a wild ride to oblivion
I lost my mind
But with you it's understood
You make me feel strong
Your arms look so powerful
When they hold me down
Darling
I don't need money
I could be happy
With someone to love
Everyone looks dangerous
And noone keeps their promises
And I am always running
And you have your dark places
Regretting
Feeling
Remembering
Something
We never said (regretting)
We wish we said (something)
We should have said (regretting)
We could have said (something)
Truly
I don't need money
Or strangers to love me
Or diamonds and pearls
Or fast cars
Designed for the rock stars
I could be happy
With someone to trust
Someone to love
Someone to trust
Use me
I'm beautiful
Take me
I'm yours

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
( U2 Cover / Achtung Baby Covers LP )
You're dangerous
'Cause you're honest
You're dangerous
You don't know what you want
Well you left my heart
Empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey
You're an accident
Waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass
Left there on the beach
Well you tell me things
I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me
Just out of reach
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee
Well you stole it
'Cause I needed the cash
And you killed it
'Cos I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me
'Cause I asked you to
Oh baby, can we still be friends
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee
Oh the deeper I spin
Oh the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
I took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose, the doors you open
I just can't close
Don't turn around
Don't turn around again
Don't turn around
Your gypsy heart
Don't turn around
Don't turn around again
Don't turn around
And don't look back
Come on now love
Don't you look back
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses
Who's gonna take the place of me
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who could tame the heart of thee

Childhood living
It's easy to do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you
Slide through my hand
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now you're decided
To treat me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
I have my freedom
But I dont have much time
So let's do some living
After we die
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild horses
We want them someday
Witness To Your Love
Was we ever so young
We were tripping into town
Back where The Canongate meets up
With the dirty little side street
I can't remember much
Though I know we did like to shoplift
We knew our lives stretched up to the stars
And we were the masters of the universe
Were we ever really that smart
How did we come this far
We would go skipping over the heart
Over the city that shaped us
We would go leaping into the arms
Of anything that scared us
So long before we learned the law
Fearless and stupid and reckless and
Free
We were free
So free
We were free
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love
To your love
Free
We were free
So free
We were free
We were so free you and me
A witness to your love
We were so free you and me
A witness to your love
We were so free you and me
A witness to your love
We were so free you and me
We were so free you and me
You're on patrol for me
I'm on patrol for you
You're on patrol for me
I'm on patrol for you
