Garbage - April Tenth Lyrics
It was April the tenth
I remember it well

It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell


Things haven't been good
For you, for a while
Because I'd been on tour

I hadn't heard

And you've dropped in

With the letter you wrote
And I read it aloud
To prove that I could


And we were both laughing
Cause we know how you are

We never thought
Your quitting was good


We thought that we knew you
And I guess that we don't
Are you heavenly or

Just like the past?

We called you "the black penny"

Remember that?

The sea is wide

The streets are long
And there's blood on all our hands
With the catalyst gone


And only what's left to us
Is history built on dust

I was sweating on poet's words
Great nations and governments


Sweet lies and victories
Eager and keen to please
Those good keys are everywhere

With their thousand-yard stare

We all end up the same

Like little lambs to meet their end
