A Stroke of Luck - Garbage

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.

I don't know why they don't get the credit they don't truly deserve. As a whole they really are solid band and Shirley's vocals far surpasses that of which we so call "talented singers" nowadays. She and the rest of the band definitely deserve their due. And this song is proof in the pudding.

My favorite Garbage song <3

[Shadowlooker12]

Actually, I think they did an excellent Job on the world is not enough for 007.

[drod1126]

Also my favorite Garbage song.

[holzg01]

Beautiful song. Thanks forever.

[ShiningNow]

Sheer talent.

Heard this on Charmed :3

@cherrybombx27

They're more like iconic cult figures than a novelty band.

I love Garbage so much, but the lyric quality (for me) has declined rapidly through the years. The first album is so strong, but BLM (with exceptions) is pretty poor.

tight song !

[youngrock06]

Shirley Manson is atheist?! Makes me love her so much more!!

[psychoholic25]
