[Intro]
Alright, okay

[Verse 1]
It's guys like you, baby
That gives the a boys a bad name
Keep your hands where I can see them
Get the man out of me

[Refrain]
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door

[Interlude]
Woop woop
Alright, okay

[Verse 2]
You have a world of your own
Ba ba da da da do
Such a ba ba da da da do
Ba ba da da da do

[Refrain]
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door

[Chorus]
So head on home tonight honey
Just be glad we didn't kill anybody
And I swear I'll never tell anybody
You were always looking at yourself in my mirror
So be there a quarter but get out son

[Verse 3]
We'll be squealing like animals
When I'm on my knees
I'm desperate and I hear you're liking me

[Refrain]
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door

[Chorus]
So head on home tonight honey
Just be glad we didn't kill anybody
And I swear I'll never tell anybody
You were always looking at yourself in my mirror
So be there a quarter but get out son

[Bridge]
Think you're such a badass
Think you're such a wrap
Think you're such a rebel
Da-da-da-da-duh
Da-da-da-da-duh
Think you're such a badass
Da-da-da-da-duh

[Refrain]
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes

[Outro]
I'm pure platinum
Got the disc at home
Why do I feel so bad?
Na na na na fun

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.
