Garbage: B-Side Lyrics
#1 CRUSH
I would die for you,
I would die for you,
I've been dying just to feel you by my side,
To know that you're mine.
I 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 I am 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,
I'll tear it apart.
I will lie for you,
I can steal for you,
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see,
You're just like me.
Violate all my 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 would wait for you,
I'd make room for you,
I'd sail ships for you,
To be close to you,
To be a part of you,
'Cause I believe in you.
I believe in you,
I would die for you.
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,
You're an alien sex fiend.
And you go la la lala la la la la lala la la...
BUTTERFLY COLLECTOR
So you finally got what you wanted,
You've achieved your aim by making me walk in line.
When you just can't get any higher,
You've used 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 pride,
It's just a face on your pillowcase
That thrills you.
And you started looking much older,
And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume.
But to you in your little dream world,
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors.
As you carry on 'cause it's all you know,
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew.
You go from day to day by filling your head,
But you surely must know the appeal between your legs
Has worn off.
And I don't care about morals,
'Cause the word's insane and we're all to blame anyway.
And I don't feel any sorrow,
Towards the queens and kings 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 pride,
He'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 go from day to day filling your head,
But you surely must know the appeal between your legs
Has worn off.
And I don't feel any sorrow,
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors.
DRIVING LESSON
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 icebergs,
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).
GIRL DON’T COME
Girl don't come,
If it's all been said and done.
Don't hang around,
Let them kick back off the ground,
Let them kick back off the ground.
Girl don't come,
He's got nothing left to lose.
But that's all right,
That could well change overnight.
He'll want to take that pretty head,
Lay down in someone else's bed.
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come.
If you want my sympathy my dear,
You better not come near my dear.
I think it's fair to say my dear,
You better see my way,
You better see my way.
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come,
Girl don't come (If you want my sympathy my dear),
Girl don't come (You better not come near my dear),
Girl don't come (I think it's fair to say my dear),
Girl don't come (You better see my way my dear),
Girl don't come (If you want my sympathy my dear),
Girl don't come (You better not come near my dear),
Girl don't come (I think it's fair to say my dear),
Girl don't come (You better see my way my dear).
KICK MY ASS
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 entwined,
You were 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,
But what can I do,
To have you take back that swing.
I'm so sorry a scuffle ensued,
But things are much better now,
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.
There was a lot of business giving there.
LICK THE PAVEMENT
1 2 3 4,
You 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.
CHORUS:
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 your lonely cause your just like me,
Why don't you call me you'll know where I'll be.
CHORUS:
Do do do do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
CHORUS:
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Do do do do do do do when you’re on your knees do do do do,
Oh won't you lick the pavement for me [till fade].
SLEEP
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,
Now all I want to do is sleep,
Come down from the altar,
You're going down, down, down,
Hare Hare Krishna,
Come back to your altar,
You're going down, down, down,
Kill the new religion,
Miscommunication,
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
It was an out of body experience,
A sudden smell of hay,
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back",
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Be careful with me,
I don't need this anymore,
Be easy on me,
Be easy on me,
I don't need this any more,
Be careful with me,
Be careful with me,
Be careful with me,
I'll stab you 'til tripping my wire,
Debut album lyrics
You don't know what I'm thinking,
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.
SUBHUMAN
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.
Remove your blindfold,
What do you see?
Nothing left to do here,
There's nothing new here,
It's all the same.
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
Was that your sister,
Or a cover girl?
A wasted prima donna,
She lost her way here,
She disappeared.
And build a fire,
It's getting cold,
Nothing stops you in here,
There's not a stone here,
You're all alone.
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
No inhibition,
No alibi,
Televised confession,
A true obsession,
It's all new lies.
Misinformation,
A perfect waste,
Bite the sacred apple,
And suck the poison,
Enjoy the taste.
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down,
You're going down, down, down,
You're going down, down, down,
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
SUPERNATURAL
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.
Yes I flew around the hospital walls.
Intravenous Demerol,
And it weren't supernatural.
No, it weren't supernatural,
Supernatural maybe.
A certain view,
Sparked off a case of the déjà vu,
Is it inexplicable?
No, no, it ain't supernatural,
No, it ain't supernatural,
Supernatural maybe.
THIRTEEN
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.
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.
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well, let me know,
If it's "no," well, I can go.
I won't make you.
TRIP MY WIRE
Be easy on me,
I'm fragile,
I'm easily broken.
I'm a fighter.
And you're cheating,
You're a liar.
This is not what I came for.
I won't stand for this at all,
I won't see you anymore.
Don't trip my wire.
I'm freaking,
I'm on fire.
Trip my wire.
I'm freaking,
I'm on fire.
This is not what I came for.
I won't stand for this at all,
I won't see you any more.
I'm fragile.
I'm a bitch, baby,
And I'm on fire.
I'm fragile.
I'm a bitch, baby,
And I'm on fire.
Be careful with me,
Be careful with me,
I'm...
I'm free, free, free but baby I'm on fire.
I don't need this any more,
This is what I came here for.
