THE ONE
By
Garbage

***************

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

You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be

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

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

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

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
