Can’t Seem To Make You MineGarbage

Released: January 11, 1999

Songwriter: Sky Saxon

Producer: Garbage

[Intro]
I can't seem to make you mine
Kissin' all around all the time
Flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see

[Verse 1]
I tried everything I know
To make you want to love me so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on me

[Chorus]
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath and every step I take
I'm more in love with you, oh

[Verse 2]
I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, and not a kiss
I gotta have your love every day
One that is real and will stay

[Chorus]
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you, oh

[Outro]
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Kissin' all around all the time
I can't seem to make you mine
Flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I can't seem to make you mine
Can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

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.
