Producer: Garbage

[Verse 1]
Searchin' for fun, you know where to go
Got your leather boots home, what do you know?
And they're playing Garbage on the radio
Into the dark you wanna run
Into the night where nobody knows you
Where the boys are and everybody's high

[Chorus]
If enough is never enough and you're down at heart
If the world is bringing you down then come with us
If enough is never enough and you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then come with us

[Verse 2]
Back to the bar where the place is slamming
All the pretty queens and the sluts are dancin'
And be conscious politicians lie
All sweat and lust and filthy habits
All the gonnabes are going to sell their package
At the carnival of the lonely broken hearts

[Chorus]
If enough is never enough and you're down at heart
If the world is bringing you down then come with us
If enough is never enough and you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then come with us

[Chorus]
If enough is never enough and you're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then come with us

[Outro]
Come with us
Come with us
Come with us
Come with us

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
