@LTF6161 yes i nearly regret their split up...... I don't know why Garbage did not take the Angelfish leader/guitarplayer as well ... Garbage must have been even more Dope ...with sometimes a two guitars attack... an opportunity was lost there...
thanks to the success of Garbage, this DID get played more...on MTV2...in the mid-late 90s when they still only played videos. i remember taping this a few times on vhs tapes (yeah, i'm THAT old). This was also one of the songs played in the DARIA episode "Road Worrier" (YAY DARIA!) along with Mad Season's "i don't know anything"...
Never watched the intro video , Shirley is so f****** cool! "This is the video that they saw , this is what got me my job , this is suffocate me by my old band Angelfish...and don't laugh!"
I love so honest and real kind of music and lyrics.. for me, such songs like this one must pass something to the listener.. here it works without saying!
I really appreciate and adore Garbage and Angelfish for doing a great and powerful music which has a lot of meaning and emotions.
brilliant lyrics '' I feel like a roman candle...do your stuff while the empire falls'' THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT SHIRLEY AND GARBAGE THE LYRICS ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO THINK ABOUT AND SOME GREAT LINES AND MEODIES
The drummer and the guitarist (Angelfish's music was written as a Goodbye Mr Mackenzie album before Shirley took on vocal duties). Shirley only ever had one writing credit in the Mackenzies, on the song "Niagara".
After Shirley went to Madison, she came up with the lyrics to Not My Idea while playing with Duke on swings, which was her first actual lyrics.

Fate, luck, chance, whatever...is an amazing thing. The moral is I guess is that you gotta put yourself into the mix whenever, wherever, whatever.

This song is simply awesome. It's also cool to see how Shirley Manson got noticed. I can definitely see what they saw!

reminds me of "gothic rock"
fairly slow and dark tune.
alternative rock seems a bit brought/open.
darker tune than garbage.

Better than most of the Garbage stuff. Great razor sharp riffs. If wee Shirley was an animal she'd be a copper red panther. Growl!

First...I don't want Garbage to break up, but it would be cool if all the members of Angelfish got back together and made another album.

i love that line. Garbage esp. shirley are lyrical genius(es) :D
sucks the "artists" who sing someone else's lousy lyrics are making all the money (not mentioning any names.)

I love the lyrics too, but I must break it to you that Shirley did not write these lyrics. She started writing for the first time in Garbage. =)
