Garbage - A Stroke of Luck (photo tribute)

at a pinch, my favorite Garbage song ever, apart from AHIW. this one is made with special love for the song and is dedicated to all my youtube friends and fellow Garbage fans.

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.

Thanks for the dedication! Good choice in photos. The early photos of Shirl seem to fit the spooky mood well.

@littledarklingghost you're welcome! i particularly enjoyed making up the first half or so of the video from Shirl's early days in GMMcK and Angelfish (and fitting the photos to the lyrics to make kind of my personal intepretation of them). see that;s what i like to think the song's about. thanks for watching :)
