Garbage: B-Side Lyrics
From Absolute Garbage.net

#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 wont you lick the pavement for me
I learn to bribe I learn to say please
I like you best when your 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 (x2)

Chorus

Do do do do do do do when your on your knees do do do do (x6)
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
You don't know what I'm thinking
But still the stars still sparkle and shine

Seems like all of the time
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
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

Come down from the altar
Remove your blindfold
What do you see
Nothing left to do here
There's nothing new here
It's all the same

You're going down, down, down
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?

Hare Hare Krishna
Was that your sister
Or a cover girl
A wasted prima donna
She lost her way here
She disappeared

Come back to your altar
And build a fire
It's getting cold
Nothing stops you in here
There's not a stone here
You're all alone

You're going down, down, down
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?

Kill the new religion
No inhibition
No alibi
Televised confession
A true obsession
It's all new lies

Miscommunication
Misinformation
A perfect waste
Bite the sacred apple
And suck the poison
Enjoy the taste

You're going down, down, down
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?
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

It was an out of body experience
Yes I flew around the hospital walls
Intravenous demerol
And it weren't supernatural
No, it weren't supernatural
Supernatural maybe

A sudden smell of hay
A certain view
Sparked off a case of the deja 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

Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
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.

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
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

Be careful with me
I'm a fighter
And you're cheating
You're a liar

I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore

Be easy on me
Don't trip my wire
I'm freaking
I'm on fire

Be easy on me
Trip my wire
I'm freaking
I'm on fire

I don't need this any more
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you any more

Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch, babe
And I'm on fire

Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch, babe
And I'm on fire

Be careful with me
Be careful with me
Be careful with me
I'm...

I'll stab you 'til tripping my wire
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
