[Intro]
Lonely
Lonely

[Verse 1]
I got my high heels and my lipstick
My blue velvet dress in my closet
Got my phone on vibrate
All I do is wait

[Chorus]
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again

[Verse 2]
Of those stupid things that I've said
There's one thing I regret
In the moment that I said it, I wanted to kill it
I still feel sick about it

[Chorus]
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again

[Bridge]
Lonely
Lonely
I'm so nervous
Like a cat on a hot tin roof and
I want to get wasted
Forget all about it
Like the blue dress in my closet
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again

[Chorus]
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again (my loneliness)
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again (my loneliness)
(Loneliness)
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again (my loneliness)
My night drive loneliness
Comes again and again (my loneliness)

[Outro]
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Loneliness
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Loneliness
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Loneliness
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Loneliness
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

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.
