*** “Garbage Day” (live), Brendan Benson ***

I’ve tried but I don’t believe her

She lies, she’s a deceiver

I might, I might just leave her be

Alone in my apartment

Lights out I’m in the dark again I’ll wait for someone to rescue me, to save me

But if she throws her heart away I’ll be there on garbage day

To sift through what’s left, I guess

To sort through the loneliness

And I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind If all the neighbors can see me

I’ll take whatever I can get when I can get it It’s that easy, oh, believe me

I’ve known so long, it’s been on my mind

Full blown by now and I’m wasting time

I’ll leave it all up to her to decide

And she sighs and says she can’t feel love

She tries but just can’t conceive of

A life without so much pain inside

And if she throws her heart away I’ll be there on garbage day

To sift through what’s left, I guess

To sort through the loneliness

And I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind If all the neighbors can see me, yeah

I’ll take whatever I can get when I can get it It’s that easy, oh, believe me, it’s that easy

So believe me, it’s so easy

So believe me, it’s so easy

And I know I won’t see her here again
