[Verse 1]
Be easy on me, I'm fragile
I'm easily broken
Be careful with me, I'm a fighter
And you're cheating, you're a liar

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore

[Verse 2]
Be easy on me, don't trip my wire
I'm a freak and I'm on fire
Be easy on me, trip my wire
I'm a freak and I'm on fire

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore

[Chorus]
Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch, babe
And I'm on fire
Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch, babe
And I'm on fire

[Outro]
Trip, trip, trip, tripping on my wire
[?]
You're trip, trip, trip, tripping on my wire
[?], baby I'm on fire
And you're a cheat, cheat, cheat, baby [?]
And I'm a [?] but baby I'm a fighter

Be careful with me
Be careful with me
Be careful with me
I'm fragile

Don't you keep tripping in my wire
I'm a freak, freak, freak but baby I'm on fire
I don't need this any more
This is not what I came here for

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.
