[Intro]
Car, car, car
Car, car, car

[Verse 1]
Let's get behind the wheel
We'll go driving
To the mountains
To the rooftops

We can take it nice and slow
I'll be driving
To the icebergs
To the edges

[Chorus]
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Verse 2]
Head in to the clouds
Past the buildings
By the harbour
Through the storm

Tear across the page
By the marker
Leave the light on
By the poolside

[Chorus]
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Bridge]
I can make an honest man of you
I can make you clean if you want me to
I can make you go very far

[Chorus]
Just take the car
Get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Outro]
Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car

[Whispered lyrics]
Gotta feel to make it real
Anytime, anywhere

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.
