Lyrics

Garbage (1995)

• Make a whole new religion
  A falling star that you cannot live without
  And I'll feed your obsession
  There'll be nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt
  • Supervixen

• I'm only happy when it rains
  I'm only happy when it's complicated
  And though I know you can't appreciate it
  I'm only happy when it rains
• You know I love it when the news is bad
  And why it feels so good to feel so sad
  I'm only happy when it rains
• Pour your misery down on me
• I'm only happy when it rains
  I feel good when things are going wrong
  I only listen to the sad, sad songs
  I'm only happy when it rains
• I only smile in the dark
  My only comfort is the night gone black
  I didn't accidentally tell you that
  I'm only happy when it rains
• I'm riding high upon a deep depression
  I'm only happy when it rains
  • Only Happy When It Rains

• I wish I could fly
  As angels can fly
  • As Heaven Is Wide

• You say that you'll be there to catch me
  Or will you only try to trap me
  These are the rules I make
  Our chains were meant to break
  You'll never change me
  • A Stroke Of Luck

• I came around to tear your little world apart
  • Vow

• You pretend you're high
  You pretend you're bored
  You pretend you're anything
  Just to be adored
• Don't believe in fear
  Don't believe in faith
  Don't believe in anything
  That you can't break
• A million lies to sell yourself
  Is all you ever had
• Don't believe in love
  Don't believe in hate
  Don't believe in anything
  That you can't waste
  • Stupid Girl

• Bury me above the clouds
• Crashing silent broken down
  Falling into night
  • Fix Me Now

• And I am cool
  Cool as the deep blue ocean
  • Milk

William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet: Music from the Motion Picture (1996)

• I will cry for you
  I will cry for you
  I will wash away your pain with all my tears
  And drown your fear
  • #1 Crush

Version 2.0 (1998)

• When I grow up
  I'll be stable
  When I grow up
  I'll turn the tables
• I rip it up to shreds and let it go
  • When I Grow Up

• I want to break your heart and give you mine
  • You Look So Fine

• If I am silent then I am not real
  • Silence Is Golden

Special Collection (2002)

• Oh what a crazy time
  I've been a fool
  On a wild ride to oblivion
  I lost my mind
  • Use Me

Bleed Like Me (2005)

• Come on, baby, be my bad boyfriend
  • Bad Boyfriend

• Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
• You can keep it pure on the inside
  • Run Baby Run

• You've got soul inside your shattered heart
  • Right Between the Eyes

• A revolution
  Is the solution
• I don't feel guilty no matter what they're telling me
  I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
  I won't be shamed 'cause I believe that love is free
  It fuels the heart
  And sex is not my enemy
  • Sex Is Not the Enemy

Not Your Kind of People (2012)

• Love promises nothing and then your love dies
  • I Hate Love

• Let's take a torch
  To the past and the future
  • Battle in Me
