AUTOMATIC SYSTEMATIC HABIT
By
Garbage
***************
The lies lies lies
You love those lies,
You tell them straight,
Straight to my face
They feel so right
They keep you safe
And you’re so…
Good at it, oh it comes automatic
Lies more lies
I can tell they’re lies
I can see right through,
You have see-through eyes
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Oh a man like you
Keep me up at night
You want your women at home
And your bed on the side
You’ve got a telephone girl that you carry around
In your jean back pocket with a?
And you’re so…
Sly about it, oh it feels automatic
Yeah, you’re so good at it
Oh it feels automatic
Sly about it, oh it feels automatic
Yeah, you’re so good at it
A systematic habit
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Tell mother, tell your father, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Automatic systematic habit
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be, I won’t
I won’t be, I won’t
I won’t, I won’t
I won’t be knocked down
THE ONE
***************
Yeah right from the start you had me hooked
And I knew I was falling
And sure you had me sussed
You worked me out
You took me right out no doubt
Call me a lawyer
I want to micro manage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me man down
Don’t wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don’t like it
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one
You know what I want
You see me sweat and lose all confidence
And you, you mess me up
I’m back to front
You know I want you don’t you?
Call me a lawyer
I want to micro manage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor, I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me man down
Don’t wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don’t like it
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one
Call me a lawyer
I want to micro manage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor, I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me man down
Don’t wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don’t like it
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be
The one
The one
BRIGHT TONIGHT
***************
From the beginning, we were always going to fail
We were the next thing that the world could not wait to tear down
Off balance in our own minds
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
It was right now and then suddenly it’s gone
We were both wrong, but here we are, we’re right where we belong
Off balance in our own lives
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You shine so bright
NOT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE
***************
We are not your kind of people.
You seem kind of phoney.
Everything’s a lie.
We are not your kind of people.
Something in your makeup.
Don’t see eye to eye.
We are not your kind of people.
Don’t want to be like you.
Ever in our lives.
We are not your kind of people.
We fight when you start talking.
There’s nothing but white noise
Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh….
Running around trying to fit in,
Wanting to be loved.
It doesn’t take much.
For someone to shut you down.
When you build a shell,
Build an army in your mind.
You can’t sit still.
And you don’t like hanging round the crowd.
They don’t understand
You dropped by as I was sleeping.
You came to see the whole commotion.
And when I woke I started laughing.
The jokes on me for not believing.
We are not your kind of people.
Speak a different language.
We see through your lies.
We are not your kind of people.
Won’t be cast as demons,
Creatures you despise.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF
***************
Tell me, please, what little girls are made of
Sugar and spice and all things nice
But we can bleed for a whole week straight
Every month, and the pain doesn’t faze us
Do you really think we give a shit about what you said
Or what you ever did?
Do what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about
You think you know what I can do
My virgin tongue, oh see how it fools you
Do you really think I give a shit about anything you said
Or what you ever did?
Say what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about
Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it
Watch me cutting every string
One by one
See me cut out all the rot
Bit by bit
Watch me as I push you back
Inch by inch
I push you back, boy
Inch by inch
Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it
Tell me, please, what little girls are made of
SUGAR
***************
Give me sugar
Give me, something sweet
I’ve spent a lifetime
Feelin’ incomplete
If I sound bitter
Or if I come too late
Please reconsider
I don’t need much on my plate
Just give me sugar
Don’t come close, please keep at a distance,
Look but don’t touch till the light goes on
Silence in line and please wait at the window
Don’t touch the glass till the curtain calls
Wait, wait… don’t make me wait
Wait, wait… don’t make me wait
Just give me sugar
Give me sugar
Give me, something deep
Don’t make a habit
Of crawling on my knees
But this is different
Can’t you see I’m in control
This is the moment
Where all your dreams have flown
Just give me sugar
Don’t come close, please keep at a distance,
Look but don’t touch till the light goes on
Silence in line and please wait at the window
Don’t touch the glass till the curtain calls
Wait, wait… don’t make me wait
Wait, wait… don’t make me wait
Just give me sugar
To hook her on
Sugar to hook her on
Some sugar to hook her on
Sugar to hook her on
Oh won’t someone love me
Won’t someone love me
Won’t someone love me
Oh won’t someone love me
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Someone like you
