[Verse 1]
You're not certain when you feel
Hurt, get violent when you deal
With how the world drags you along
You're not alone

Nothing good was ever free
No one gets it, no one sees
So here you stand, beloved freak
You're not alone

[Chorus 1]
You're not alone
You're not alone
Sometimes we get so tired and weak
We lose the sky beneath our feet
You're not alone

[Verse 2]
Every comet throws an arc
And scars our vision 'cross the dark
When we're gone we will remain
You're not alone

People lie and people steal
They misinterpret how you feel
And so we doubt and we conceal
You're not alone

[Chorus 2]
Don't worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
Don't worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself

[Bridge]
When we're gone we will remain
When we're gone we will remain
When we're gone we will remain
When we're gone we will remain

[Outro]
So here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
Here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet

This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

And so you stand, beloved freak
The world's lying at your feet
There you stand, beloved freak
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

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.
