Garbage - Version 2.0 (1998)
I dunno how to feel about this one. It's a good record, but it's a lot shinier and synthier than Garbage was, and I don't think the songs are as strong. It's brand new, though, so it'll probably grow on me, and "You Look So Fine" is twice the closer "Milk" ever was.
"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 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 waste I never needed anybody like this before 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 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 waste I never needed anybody like this before You are a secret A new possession I like to keep you guessing You come on like 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 waste I never needed anybody like this before 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 And complicated Bend me, break me Anyway, you need me All I want is you Bend me, break me Breaking down is easy All I want is you I think I'm paranoid 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 Steal me, deal me, anyway, you heal me Maim me, tame me, you can never change me Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me Bend me, break me Anyway, you need me As long as I want you, baby It's all right Bend me, break me Anyway, you need me As long as I want you, baby It's all right
"When I Grow Up"
Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out Like a giant juggernaut Happy hours, golden showers On a cruise to freak you out We could fly a helicopter Nothing left to talk about Entertain you, celebrate you I'll be back to frame you When I grow up I'll be stable When I grow up I'll turn the tables Trying hard to fit among you Floating out to wonderland Unprotected, god, I'm pregnant Damn the consequences When I grow up I'll be stable When I grow up I'll turn the tables Blood and blisters on my fingers Chaos rules when we're apart Watch my temper, I go mental I'll try to be gentle When I grow up I'll be stable When I grow up I'll turn the tables When I grow up When I grow up When I grow up I'll turn the tables Don't take offense Better make amends Rip it all to shreds and let it go Don't take offense Better make amends Rip it all to shreds and let it go I rip it all to shreds and let it go
"Medication"
I don't need an education I learned all I need from you They've got me on some medication My point of balance was askew Keeps my temperature from rising My blood is pumping through my veins Somebody get me out of here, I'm Tearing at myself Nobody gives a damn about me Or anybody else I wear myself out in the morning You're asleep when I get home Please don't call me self-defending You know it cuts me to the bone And it's really not surprising I hold a force I can't contain Somebody get me out of here, I'm Tearing at myself Nobody gives a damn about me Or anybody else And still, you call me co-dependent Somehow, you lay the blame on me And still, you call me co-dependent Somehow, you lay the blame on me Somebody get me out of here, I'm Tearing at myself I've got to make a point these days to Extricate myself Somebody get me out of here, I'm Tearing at myself Nobody gives a damn about me Or anybody else And still, you call me co-dependent Somehow, you lay the blame on me But still, you call me co-dependent Somehow, you lay the blame on me Somehow, you lay the blame on me
"Special"
I'm living without you I know all about you I have run you down into the ground Spread disease about you over town I used to adore you I couldn't control you There was nothing that I wouldn't do To keep myself around and close to you Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own? I thought you were special I thought you should know But I've run out of patience I couldn't care less Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own? I thought you were special I thought you should know I used to amuse you I knew that I'd lose you Now you're here and begging for a chance But there's no way in hell I'd take you back Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own? I thought you were special I thought you should know But I've run out of patience I've run out of comments I'm tired of the violence I couldn't care less I'm looking for a new I'm looking for a new I'm looking for a new I'm looking for a new We were the talk of the town We were the talk of the town We were the talk of the town We were the talk of the town I thought you were special
"Hammering in My Head"
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 I'm growing introverted You touch my hand and it's not the same This was so unexpected I never thought I'd get caught Play boomerang with your demons Shoot to kill and you'll pop them off (Bang, bang) Like an animal You're moving over me Like an animal You're moving over me You should be sleeping my love Tell me what you're dreaming of You should be sleeping my love Tell me what you're dreaming of You should be sleeping my love Tell me what you're dreaming of You should be sleeping my love Tell me what you're dreaming of I knew you were mine for the taking I knew you were mine for the taking I knew you were mine for the taking When I walked in the room I knew you were mine for the taking I knew you were mine for the taking Your eyes light up When I walk in the room A hammering in my head, don't stop From the bullet train From Tokyo to Los Angeles I'm leaving you behind A flash in the pan A storm in a teacup A needle in a haystack A prize for the winning A dead for the raising A catch for the chasing A jewel for the choosing A man for the making in this blistering heat Sweat it all out, sweat it all out With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts Sweat it all out In our electric storms and our shifting sands Our candy jars and our sticky hands Sweat it all out, sweat it all out Sweat it all out, sweat it all out Sweat it all out, sweat it all out Don't forget what I wrote you then And don't forget what I told you then And don't forget that I meant to win And don't forget your ventolin So a hammering in my head, don't stop In the bullet train From Tokyo to Los Angeles
"Push It"

"The Trick is to Keep Breathing"
She's not the kind of girl Who likes to tell the world About the way she feels about herself She takes a little time In making up her mind She doesn't want to fight against the tide And lately, I'm not the only one I say never trust anyone Always the one who has to drag her down Maybe you'll get what you want this time around Can't bear to face the truth So sick he cannot move And when it hurts he takes it out on you And lately, I'm not the only one I say never trust anyone Always the one who has to drag her down Maybe you'll get what you want this time around The trick is to keep breathing She knows the human heart And how to read the stars Now everything's about to fall apart I won't be the one who's going to let you down Maybe you'll get what you want this time around I won't be the one who's going to let you down Maybe you'll get what you want this time around The trick is to keep breathing
"Dumb"
I never claimed to be your saviour I said I had a dirty mouth Stop analysing my behaviour If you're too dumb to work it out I've got to keep myself together You know I hate to disappoint A masochistic lamb to slaughter Maybe you miss the point I'm feeling small Climbing the walls Don't let it show Now that you know What you know I bet you wish You could let it go You'll never come Sucking your thumb Better off dumb Maybe I could write a letter To help me with my self-esteem You should get to know me better No one's ever what they seem I'm feeling small Climbing the walls I don't let it show Now that you know What you know I bet you wish You could let it go You'll never come Sucking your thumb Better off dumb You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you mean to me You still don't know what to think of me You still don't know what you think of me Now that you know What you know I bet you wish You could let it go You'll never come Sucking your thumb Better off dumb Now that you know What you know You're gonna reap What you sow Nothing will come Sucking your thumb Better off dumb You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you mean to me You still don't know what to think of me You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what you think of me You still don't know what I think of me You still don't know what you think of me
"Sleep Together"
I got you crawling up a mountain Hanging around my neck I got you twisted around my finger Crawling around my legs The emptiness The craziness Satisfy this hungriness Darling, how would it feel? If we sleep together Will you like me better? If we come together We'll go down forever If we sleep together Will I like you better? If we come together Prove it now or never Make me a pretty person Make me feel like I belong Make me hard and make me happy Make me beautiful The emptiness The craziness Satisfy this hungriness Darling, how would it feel? If we sleep together Will you like me better? If we come together We'll go down forever If we sleep together Will I like you better? If we come together Prove it now or never If we sleep together (Nothing satisfies me, baby) If we sleep together (I'll wear something pretty, baby) If we sleep together (Give me what I crave, now baby) If we sleep together (Save the rest for later, baby) If we sleep together (You will drive me crazy, baby) If we sleep together (I save it all for you, my baby) If we sleep together If we sleep together
"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 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 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 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 Bleeding for you I'm open wide I want to take you home We'll waste some 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 You're taking me 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 Ending with letting go Ending with letting go Let's pretend, happy end
