[Verse 1]
Walking in the rain
Walking through the streets
In the dark at night, so I might find some peace to think
'Cause my mind is on fire

My hair is blowing in the wind
And you are saying something
But I cannot hear a word that's coming out of your sweet mouth
'Cause my mind is on fire

[Chorus]
No, I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry at all
No, I won't apologize, although I know that's what you'd like
But I'm not sorry at all

[Verse 2]
You're always bringing out
The very worst in me
The weakest version of a person that I'd ever want to be
But my heart is on fire

[Bridge]
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

[Verse 3]
You're so hard to figure out
I don't know what you're wanting
Am I supposed to sacrifice myself to let you free?
But my heart is on fire

[Chorus]
No, I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry at all
No, I won't apologize, although I know that's what you'd like
But I'm not sorry at all

[Outro]
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

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.
