I HATE LOVE
By
Garbage
***************
Your words are pretty but I already know who you are.
I knew you before you met me long before we would part.
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones.
Before you kissed me and buried my hope.
Before you stole stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall.
They shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you.
They let you in and you start to believe you’re soft as a miracle.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.
Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool.
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel.
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies.
Love promises nothing and then your love dies.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.
Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
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
BIG BRIGHT WORLD
***************
We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make this simple plan work
Difficult, but that’s what made it burn
You’re a satellite around my heart
One million before the start
Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
You’re mysterious, you make no sense
I love you ’cause you’re innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun
So magnify the best inside me
Build the parts that you can’t find me
The parts that won’t give out when things get hard
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around and around and around and around
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
I’m with you
SHOW ME
***************
You could hear long before you could dream
You could walk
You could run long before you could sing
You could talk
Think about all the things you never say
And spit them out
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now
It’s not as easy as it seems
The world is big
The sea is deep
There is no rope
There is no line
We’re specks of dust up in the sky
There is no space
There is no time
There’s only you and what we leave behind
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now
And what we leave behind
And what we leave behind
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me what we leave behind
And what we leave behind
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
BELOVED FREAK
***************
You’re not certain when you feel hurt
Get violent when you deal
With how the world drags you along
You’re not alone
Nothing good was ever free
No one gets it, no one sees
So here you stand, beloved freak
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Sometimes we get so tired and weak
We lose the sky beneath our feet
You’re not alone
Every comet throws an arc
And scars our vision ‘cross the dark
When we’re gone we will remain
You’re not alone
People lie and people steal
They misinterpret how you feel
And so we doubt and we conceal
You’re not alone
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
So here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
Here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
And so you stand, beloved freak
The world is lying at your feet
There you stand, beloved freak
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
BATTLE IN ME
***************
Look at you
An accident of drinking
What a mess
A train wreck of lipstick
What a joke, but do you hear me laughing?
Get out my face, before I lose my patience
Now me and you, let’s cut this party
Little boy, it takes a lot to shake me
So shake it
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s a bloody war of attrition
Let’s see which one of us is going to last the night
‘Cause I have all of my wits around
And I’ll be damned if I’m done
White rabbit plays right when the room starts spinning
Make it hard, I want something to happen
So make it happen
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
Let’s take a torch
To the past and the future
And let’s make out
I won’t tell your girlfriend
See how it feels with a passion burning
We’ll be damned when we’re done
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it off
‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
