SUGAR
By
Garbage
***************
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
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
MAN ON A WIRE
***************
I looked into the mirror
What did I see?
There was a big black beast
Looking back at me
You looked into my eyes
What did you see?
You saw a big black beast
Magnified in me
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I was like a volcano
Just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn
And I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster
Could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
That’s right
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you
Hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
You’re hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
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
AUTOMATIC SYSTEMATIC HABIT
***************
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
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
