Garbage lyrics

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
Chorus:
Come on love's a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to wait
I've never needed anybody like this before
I'll tell you something
I am a demon

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'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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

My lover's charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them
Until the end

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven

They burn my hand
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath
And throw away
What I despise

Send me an angel to love

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

I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you

I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you

I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home

I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you

It's funny how
Even now
You still support me after all 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

Be easy with 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 any more

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

Come on Shirl... [x7]

Come on...

Come on Shirl...

Come on...

Come on Shirl... [x2]

You got a thing that thing gets me on fire [x4]

Come on Shirl... [x6]

You got a thing that thing gets me on fire

Come on...

Come on Shirl...

(You got a thing that thing gets me on fire) [x3]

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.
Ooh-ooh-ooh.

Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"?
Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It, Black".
Rock an' roll is here to stay.
Come inside, now; it's okay.
And I'll shake you.
Ooh-ooh-ooh.

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

Built a king on compliments
Charisma and advertisements
Still they see him shimmer ephemeral
It ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural
Supernatural maybeÂ
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

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?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

In the middle of the night
Head on my pillow
Looking like a little ghost

Seems like all of the things
That you gave your 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

1, 2, 3, 4.

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've left your wife.

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.

I know you're lonely,

I'm so sorry
You had to Kick my A**
You said I ruined your life
I didn't mean to do that

I had to untangle
Where we was intwined
Were you strangling me
Or were you breathing so fine

The jam I was in
When things weren't working out
Lead me to the brunt
Of your swinging bout

I'm so sorry
I regreat everything
But what can I do
To have you take back that swing

I'm so sorry

I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked but I'm undersexed
I must be made of concrete
I sign my name across your chest
Give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
Company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best
Like an animal you're moving over me
Like an animal you're moving over me
When did I get perverted
I can't remember your name

Lets get behind the wheel
We'll go driving
To the mountains
To the roof tops

We can take it nice and slow
I'll be driving
To the Icebergs
To the edges

Car
Get in the car
Car
Get in the car

Head in to the clouds
Past the buildings
By the harbour
Through the storm

Tear across the page
By the marker
Leave the lights on
By the poolside

Car
Get in the car
Car

Thirteen times you fucked with my karma

And thirteen times I sucked on 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's for my mother

What will I do without her

Don't look back

Don't even bother

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

You work too hard
So when you come home to me
You are tired and
You don't wanna talk about itÂ
You envy my drive and
How I am motivated

We'll go down to the park and
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

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 sycophants,
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 tooling around.
We could always get lost in a crowd.

[whispered]
[Handcuffed in the present tense,
Variations on your violence,
Mind games and pretty girls,
A cracked song in the universe.
I think it's time that I showed you what I'm made of.
I'm afraid there is much to be afraid of.
I kill the fire so I don't get burned.
Kill the fire and you won't get burned.]

Deadwood, if you care to listen,

I can't seem to make you mine,
Kissin' all around all the time,
Flyin' around like a bee,
Hurtin' everything you see.

Tried everything I know, oh...
To make you want to love me so, oh...
The only thing 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,

So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
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 because you want their minds

You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend

You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend

You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend
You're an alien sex fiend

And you go,
la la lala la la la la lala la la... (x6)

Center on the wide horizon.
Focus on the galaxy.
Sweep away your expectations.
And recognise your enemies.

But here you're talking to yourself,
You're stripping off for someone else.
You've got to learn to love yourself,
It's all that counts; there's little else.

You're always looking for affection
And all its possibilities.
Your sense of searching for attention,

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

Cut my tongue out.
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut.
Happy lovers
Ache for hours,
On a cruise to freak you out.
We could fly out
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.
Unexpected.

Wild Horses (live only)

( Rolling Stones )

Childhood living is 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 hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain,
Now you've decided to show me the same

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

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before
The nights began to burn
You would have thought we'd learned
You can't make promised
All based to burn tomorrow
Happiness, security
Are words we only borrowed

For is this the answer to our prayers?
Is this what got has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant

The future couldn't last
We nailed it to the past

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

Sivaca masina kaska malo ce nas smao siti
tako slusam tudje price oci mi se sklapaju
Pisaca masina zuri pise neko tajno slovo
da li jesmo ili nismo Pleme
Cini mi se disemo
samo da bi udisali
Sto je nase to je jasno
hapaju se price
Noc tako sapat krade usi nam se culje
nema vise stida Pleme...

Lopatama kukama motikama rukama
ko bi smeo lude glave fatati u mreze
neko bi da veze

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.

ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah

I will pray for you,
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true,

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.

ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah

I will pray for you,
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true,

So, what kind of music do you listen to?

I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.
I'm really into Techno, but that's about it.

Don't say no to me daddy
Don't
Don't say no to me daddy
Don't say no to me daddy
Happiness (Happiness)
Is this a test? (Is this a test?)
Do you think I'm blessed? (Do you think I'm blessed?)
I'm such a mess (I'm such a mess)
Do you exist?
My happiness
Is this a test? (Is this a test?)
Please let me rest (Please let me rest)
Happiness (Happiness)
Is this a test? (Is this a test?)

Searchin' for fun
Where do you go?
Got your leather boots on
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

gather round the corner, half a mile from here
see those long trains running and watch them disappear
whitout love, where you would you be now
whitout love..............
know i saw mr Lucy, down along the traks
she lost her home and family and wan't be coming back
whitout love, where would you be now
whitout love................
got the illinois central ad, the southern central freight

You're confident
so confident
you're full of it
you're full of shit

But you see...

The world is full of girls like you
the world is full of girls like you
the world is full of girls like you
the world is full of sluts like you

So you see...

We'll believe it
when we see it

Sibilant and macabre
Walpurgis sauntered in
Skies litten with five-pointed stars
The work of crafts surpassing sin
As She graced Her window ledge
- An orphaned gypsy nymph
This issue of the forest's bed
Skin flushed with sipped absinthe -
Her eyes revealed, as Brocken's peak
Tried once concealing Hell
A snow white line of divine freaks
In riot, where they fell...

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 wild and loose,
Can't lock you in your room
I can't make you pay for dreams, suspicious of the world

If i was beautiful like you
all the things I would do
Those not so blessed
would be crying out murder
And I'd just laugh
And get away with it too
Like you do

If i was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
I would walk in the rain
between the raindrops
Bringing traffic to a halt

But that can never be
that will never, never be
Coz i'm not beautiful like you

It was April the tenth
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell

Things haven't been good
For you, for a while
Because I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard

And you've 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
