  • Stroke of Luck - Garbage
    Lyrics:
    Hanging by threads of palest silver
    I could have stayed that way forever
    Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
    Nothing could ever seem to touch me
    I lose what I love most
    Did you know I was lost until you found me?
    A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
    The hand of fate or devil's claws?
    From below or saints above?
    You came to me
    Here comes the cold again
    I feel it closing in
    It's falling down and
    All around me falling
    You say that you'll be there to catch me
    Or will you only try to trap me
    These are the rules I make
    Our chains were meant to break
    You'll never change me
    Here comes the cold again
    I feel it closing in
    You're falling down and
    All around me falling
    Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
    Hand of fate or devil's claws?
    From below or saints above?
    You come to me now
    Don't ask me why
    Don't even try
    A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
    The hand of fate or devil's claws?
    From below or saints above?
    You came to me
    Here comes the cold again
    I feel it closing in
    It's falling down and
    All around me falling
    Falling, falling
    Falling, falling
    Falling, falling.

    Holy fuck. I'm in love with this band.
    This song, is the definition of perfect. The lyrics cut to the core and caress it with beauty and grace while also triggering it with sadness and pain. My favourite Garbage song.

    Brave Strong as Steel Shirley puts it out there for all to feel. Most of the world speaks in code or not a t all but Shirley she lays it on the line every song always.... that's what makes her great and what makes us fans gravitate to her like magnetized zombies..... must be a Stroke of Luck!

    Turn down the lights, strike a match stick and ignite, light the candle on the fireplace, put this song on in the background and simply lie there dreaming of Shirley lying right next to me as this plays softly and the bass hums along...then Shirley appears in nothing but a long white t-shirt and a polka dot thong like the one she wore in "I think Im a paranoid." ah heaven.

    Regarding the top comment (about not getting the recognition they deserve): Um, I thought they had plenty of recognition, after all they did sell MILLIONS of albums! Yeh, I'd say they were very successful, just not 'megastars' as such. Mind you, I thought exactly that about Skunk Anansie (whose rise to fame was around the same time). Then I learned later that Skunk Anansie did very well for themselves too! Sold millions of records too! PS My personal Garbage fave is My Lovers' Box =OD

    Pull em on your side um
    Born gross u are
    Hardly I'd rather hang out with the sentients and ghosts
    Parked the car
    far away from u at the bar
    Blame light that sheds around the star
    I loved you the most next to first God
    U leaped
    Scenes of broken scenery to try to pretend your game checker on hard
    Ready for my asshole anonymous bullet
    If I pull it I'm smi
    Who are you to me under darkening skies
    Sing sorry lullabyes but keep your hands to yourself
    Mister wanna be chief
    Good grief
    Stomping my heart on my sleeve
    Till I leave
    That's what I get for falling low to your tides
    You never intended for me to be your bride
    You lied
    And I'm quite comfortable with that
    Sit like a cat in the window sill fat
    Thinking
    Quiet alone remembering
    Drinking tap water watching my screen saver on my phone
    Display time
    Rhymes half written in the notebook that are all mine
    Next year other artists ideas flashing across global radio stations
    You slowed me down by drugging me over
    Good enough for my father's daughter but not your own
    You tell your side of the story all the time
    And your evil veil and shady as dangers disasters
    You took so much time from me
    You stole the few things I had left working nicely for me
    You filled my mind with rape and brutality
    Locked basements and warrior surfacing from a dark night
    U made friends and family members doubt my words and actions
    Taxed both and played rumor host
    U threaten me with the most disgusting realities of fatalities cuz you have money and sour unhappy power
    You think you are the all seeing eye and forgot about the rulers of heavenly spaces
    You raced against me on the mic with the gift of the gab and never let me in to reply against the condemnation of your sentence
    U locked me up for having my own unique taste in music and for listening to other artists
    You sent me away and brought me back to old environments because of safety and boredom in injustices with lack of fairness
    Hit an angle made a square in to lose hair again in fits of jealous fists
    Left me in the epitome of a warring circus of a world on purpose
    Same defiant souls trapped around me delivering different topics
    But never the truth
    Not even half
    Then try to cut me up and prepare me for slices you sick bitch trying to tangle me in for your piece of the bite
    While untangling your musty puzzle
    Dried earth and old musty funk
    Like cobwebs stored in the dumps of your pickup truck
    Good luck with eye for an eye and tooth for an tooth
    That's enough karmaic foreshadowing to reply questions implied in your constant need back for some truth
    While thinking you'll cover up proof
    With both of your hooves and insulting horns
    Adorning the lost moments that were never good that I mourn
    Clouds dissapear torn
    Out of thin air
    A plane flies by and crashes as it fades to dissapear
    Like the good sweet stuff you've done
    And whispered back in my ear
    Something I can hear
    Without dropping a tear
    Moving coming up high back upstairs
    Leaving your door unlocked on again
    Piecing together the weather of my pen
    My pain in cold wind frozen
    My hate in desert breezes never showing a cool day for one day this summer
    Looking back at your picture
    I wonder
    How I can hear your exaggerated lies over the thunder
    Your brittle tone of blame naming comments in despair
    To let u get the last word in for the world so you can always have the world on your side here
    Fuck me
    When I need a friend
    Give me a conspiracy instead
    Make even a flower serious loathing
    To do worse than kill what's already dead
    And see if u find happiness in those long hallways ticking clocks in cloaks Red
    Said go home tonight
    And sit alone
    Really sit alone and think
    Where it ends and where it begins again
    And gathers too much space and distance to reconnect and link
    I'll give u my heart for one night to feel with
    And watch your whole mood sink
    Prescribed by what society to have u judge me
    Eye and defy me
    Bug me out and make me wait for worse
    Not knowing how far you'll take a fake revenge
    Caution now to complimentary friends
    Caution to anything found here by the breaking bridges bend
    And my message I send is with glory in it
    Upright by choice and flies out west
    What do you know about champion sounders
    Probably nothing so competitive to work through whose always better at never doing the same deeds the best
    My microphone never rests and my voice is loud enough to not need one
    1/1/1
    979 I am fine with love
    With you I'm all done
    So give space where it's needed for you to fly like u always have time to do
    And I write a honest rhyme for a few they will feud
    Run on and knock
    But they can't block the mystery of wings when I emcee sing
    Cuz I fly too
    Juz a little bit different from you
    Drum crew
    And yesterday is yesterday
    And tomorrow I reckon renews each new day strengthened by wit straightened out like two wings
    Soaring through the horizontal atmosphere
    Of last year's tear drop drying
    I needed that
    Thank you God
    For your shoulder for crying
    You were the only one that was there
    You are the only one still here
    And the only one I need
    In times where the soul of my mic bleeds
    Take me to plenty love
    Usher me help from angels above
    Take me to plenty
    You make the universe a magical makeshift.
