Garbage Album

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 are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing

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

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

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
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 alright

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's alright

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

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
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

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

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It 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
Though 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

Still you call me codependent
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

Still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me

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

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

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

I...
I...

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

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

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

I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new

You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

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

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 I that
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

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright

This is the noise that
keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body
aches
Push it, make the beats
go harder
Push it, make the beats
go harder

I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

C'mon push it, you can do it
C'mon prove it, nothing to it
C'mon use it, let's get through it
C'mon push it, you can do it

Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

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

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it

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
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
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing

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
I'm 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

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 going to 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

I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging round my neck
I got you twisted round my finger
Crawling round 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
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

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
And I tried
And I tried
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

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

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
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
Let's pretend,
happy end
Let's pretend,
happy end
Let's pretend,
happy end
