Cherry Lips

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She’d just turned 21
She didn’t care to hang around
So when the shit came down why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing that you had ever seen

You’re so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past
And in your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe that such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast

You’re so such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go baby go go
We’re right behind you
Go baby go go
Yeah, we’re looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh ,we’re right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we’re right behind you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we’re right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we’re looking at you
Go baby go baby
Oh, we’re right behind you
Go baby go baby
Yeah, we’re looking at you

You hold a candle in your heart
Go baby go go
You shine the light on hidden parts
Go baby go go
You make the whole world wanna dance
Go baby go go
You bought yourself a second chance
Go baby go baby go
Delicate boy
Go baby go baby go
In the hysterical realm
Go baby go baby go
Of an emotional landslide
Go baby go baby go
In physical terms
Go baby go go
Go

Yeah, we’re looking at you
Go baby go go
Oh, we’re right behind you

Cherry Lips ~ Garbage
This is such a classic song, I hope everyone gets a chance to hear it at least once in their lifetime. Garbage is a groundbreaking band that explores sounds that on the surface may sound genertic, but rarely are. This song especially reminds me of Vitamin C but the lyrics are obviously Garbage. (No pun intended) The big question with the song is what exactly is she singing about? Is she refering to a drag queen or just a really gay guy or even a girl? Personally I think its a drag queen. With your cherry lips and golden curls You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past And in your hot pants and high heels They could not believe that such a body was for real It seemed like rainbows would appear Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear Because you looked just like a girl Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast But hey thats just my opinion. I love this song for its driving beat and great vocals.

Beautifulgarbage was a good album and Garbage is an amazing band (one of my favorites) and they are pop geeks at heart. Although it’s not their best song, it really is beautiful garbage, which is just a great pop song. I think it’s interesting that you say this reminds you of Vitamin C because Shirley Manson despises her.
