[Verse 1]
Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you

Love's an elusive charm
And it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No, you're never gonna crack

[Chorus]
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run, my baby, run, my baby, run

[Verse 2]
Life can be so cruel
Don't it astound you?
So when nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you

You can keep it pure on the inside
And you know what you believe to be right
So you're not gonna crack
No, you're never gonna crack

[Chorus]
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run, my baby, run, my baby, run

[Bridge]
Find out who you are
Before you regret it
'Cause life is so short
There's no time to waste it

[Chorus]
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run, my baby, run, my baby, run

[Outro]
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Come on
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Come on
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Come on
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Come on

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.
