It’s the 1st of May tomorrow and that means today (Tuesday 30th April) is the final time to find a group or solo singer whose name begins with G or H
Garbage are a band that I’ve liked since the early days. Collecting their vinyl singles was enjoyable as the records were never sold in the standard company or picture sleeves. There were rubber, cloth, metal and perspex sleeves as well as others. All mostly with just a capitol ‘G’ being the only lettering on the them.
They are a Scottish–American rock band formed in 1993 in Madison, U.S.A. The band’s line-up—consisting of Scottish singer Shirley Manson (vocals) and American musicians Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, production) and has remained unchanged since its inception. All four members are involved in the songwriting and production process. Garbage has sold over 17 million albums worldwide. So far, they have released seven studio albums between 1995 – 2021. Their self-titled 1995 debut album has always been my favourite and Only Happy When It Rains was released as a single from it. Shirley explained that the song was “a dig at ourselves because we like records that don’t make us feel very happy, and at this so-called ‘alternative’ scene of ‘we’re so weird and more wonderful than everybody else'”.
I’m only happy when it rains
I’m only happy when it’s complicated
And though I know you can’t appreciate it
I’m only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin’ wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I’m only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn’t accidentally tell you that
I’m only happy when it rains
You’ll get the message by the time I’m through
When I complain about me and you
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company
As long as you don’t care
I’m only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I’m riding high upon a deep depression
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
