[Verse 1]
This is nothing new to me, it takes more than what you've got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you, there’s nothing you can do
Or take from me

[Chorus]
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable

[Verse 2]
You're bound to lose the game, there's no one else to blame
You play so safe
And you're not risking enough, you are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one to bring you down

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all your fault
Cause you got caught

[Chorus]
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable

[Bridge]
It must be nice to be so sure
And never feel insecure
It must feel good to believe
You're always right and you're never wrong

You've got something to say, you say it to my face
And be a man about it
You got a problem with me, don't go behind my back
Just like a baby

[Chorus]
Untouchable (Pride comes before)
You think you're untouchable (You take a fall)
You know (You'd best beware)
No one’s untouchable (A woman scorned)
Untouchable (Pride comes before)
You think you're untouchable (You take a fall)
You know (You best beware)
No one's untouchable (A woman scorned)
No one's untouchable

[Outro]
You think you're untouchable
You know, no one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable
No one's untouchable

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.
