Garbage : Not Your Kind of People
Lyrics
1. 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
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
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
2. 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
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you
3. BLOOD FOR POPPIES
To lift the sun,
I've been sitting here all night long
Rolling rock, over Buddah with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the black watch boys
Get your heads down
Duty calls, but it's way too late
I'm too far gone
Waiting for God, oh hell
With my pants down
Crack the stash
Then be quiet in the midday sun
I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I hate the things I think about you
When I'm all alone
I know you're tough
But I've been gone
For so long
Play the memories of you
Inside my head
So all these pictures of us
Burn and radiate
Watch the clouds, and I'm falling
Falling through the cracks
Head beats
And my heart is pounding fast
Off the ground
Into the starry dark, into your arms
I'm falling
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I pray my body's right
I've got to stay alive
I've gotta take a chance and keep on moving
Keep on moving
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
4. CONTROL
The world might end
The night might fall
Rain on down and cover us all
And drown us with the burdens of our sins
Maybe I'll look you in the eye
Tell you, you don't wanna die
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in
I never saw you coming from inside my little prison
Your autograph would really buy me time
If you think you are the reason
Give me something to believe in
It's always darkest right before the dawn
It's always darkest right before the dawn
I confess I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
Oh I confess I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
The final celebration
A bad hallucination
Flip a coin and see which way I fall
The shark tail is singing
We love to watch him killing
And suffer through a never ending day
Suffer through a never ending day
I can feel I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
I can feel I've lost control
You let your guard down
You let the truth out
I was trapped like a prisoner in my skin
I was punished like an enemy for my sins
I was blind
I was caged
And I was tricked
And I was suffocating
I was suffocating
I can feel I've lost control
Oh I can feel we've lost control
I was suffocating
I confess I've lost control
And I was suffocating
If I was suffocating
I can feel we've lost control
Feel my hunger
Feel my hunger
I was suffocating
5. NOT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE
We are not your kind of people
You seem kind of funny
Everything's a lie
We are not your kind of people
Something in your make up
Don't see eye to eye
We are not your kind of people
Don't want to be like you
Even in our lives
We are not your kind of people
We fight when you start talking
There's nothing but white noise
Running around trying to fit in
Wanting to be loved
It doesn't take much
For someone to shot you down
When you build a shell
Build an army in your mind
You can't sit still
And you don't like hanging round the crowd
They don't understand
You dropped by as I was sleeping
You came to see the whole commotion
And when I woke I started laughing
The jokes on me for not believing
We are not your kind of people
Speak a different language
We see through your lies
We are not your kind of people
Won't be cast as demons
Creatures you despise
We are extraordinary people
We are extraordinary people
We are extraordinary people
We are extraordinary people
6. FELT
Felt sure you felt something
Felt sure, but it really was nothing
You felt, but you're only guessing
They're only feelings baby, they're only feelings
Felt I'd left you hanging
Felt sure I'd stopped myself caring
You felt, that I'd stopped believing
They're only feelings baby, they're only feelings
What is real
Is real reason
What is real
Is real reason
What is real
Is real reason
What is real
I still get you
Do you still get me
Felt my skin on your skin
Felt sure, sensations like raining
You felt no logical thinking
They're only feelings baby, they're only feelings
7. I HATE LOVE
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
8. SUGAR
Give me sugar
Give me, something sweet
I’ve spent a lifetime
Feeling 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
9. 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
10. 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
You're hoping to watch me fail
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
11. 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 across 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
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
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
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

One million before the start
Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you

Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world

I’m with you
3. BLOOD FOR POPPIES
To lift the sun,
I've been sitting here all night long
Rolling rock, over Buddah with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the black watch boys
Get your heads down
Duty calls, but it's way too late
I'm too far gone
Waiting for God, oh hell
With my pants down
Crack the stash
Then be quiet in the midday sun
I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I'm right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they are calling on the radio

I don't know why they are calling on the radio

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 see you
Hoping to watch me fail
You're hoping to watch me fail
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face

Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
11. 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 across 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
