Garbage - Bleed Like Me: Wikipedia Album Entry

Bleed Like Me is the fourth album by alternative rock group Garbage. It was released in April 2005 worldwide, following critical appraisal and unexpectedly high chart positions for its lead-off single Why Do You Love Me, which entered the Billboard Hot 100 and debuted in the Top 10 of the UK singles chart.

Bleed Like Me debuted on the Billboard 200 at a career-high #4 - the band's first top ten album ever in the States. Bleed Like Me had a very strong opening week globally, debuting in the top five in many countries - including the United Kingdom, Australia, and the States.

Following lacklustre response to its predecessor, 2001's beautifulgarbage, passive aggression between band members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, and a general lack of direction for the record, Garbage struggled to create the album and in October 2003 the band secretly split for four months. After sessions with John King in Los Angeles studio and a guest appearance from ex-Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on Bad Boyfriend, the band reformed with renewed focus and completed the record by the end of 2004.

Bleed Like Me also includes contributions from drummer Matt Walker (Filter, The Smashing Pumpkins) and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Ima Robot, Beck, Nine Inch Nails).

There's something burning and rolling in me

C'mon, baby be my bad boyfriend

Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy Lyrics

No evolution, sometimes it depresses me
The same old same, oh, we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction, sex is not the enemy

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line

As you think I am

Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine
When she sees bones beneath her skin

I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines

No point in listening to them anyway
Why do you have to give them what they want?
They love to watch you as you fall apart

Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you

Garbage - Happy Home Lyrics

In my happy home, I barely breathe
In my lovers arms, I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out
