Cherry Lips
Garbage · Beautifulgarbage
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
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 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'd go walking past them
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 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
Aw we're right behind you
Go Baby
Go Baby
Yeah right behind you
Go baby go baby
Cherry Lips
Garbage's "Cherry Lips" stands as a defining track from their 2015 album *Beautifulgarbage*, marking a significant evolution in the band's sonic palette. Following the dissolution of the original lineup, the new formation blended their signature alternative rock roots with electronic textures and pop sensibilities. The song features the distinctive vocals of Shirley Manson, who returned to the forefront after a long hiatus, delivering a performance that balances raw emotion with polished production. Released during a period of heightened commercial success for the group, the track exemplifies their ability to merge indie credibility with mainstream appeal. Its inclusion on *Beautifulgarbage* highlights the band's commitment to exploring new musical territories while maintaining the emotional core that defined their earlier work. The recording serves as a testament to their resilience and artistic growth in the mid-2010s.
