Number One Crush
Garbage · Other Songs - Garbage
I would die for you,
I've been dying just to feel you by my side,
To know that you're mine.
I will cry for you,
I will cry for you,
I will wash away your pain with all my tears,
And drown your fear.
ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah
I will pray for you,
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true,
Someone like you.
See your face every place that I'm walk in,
Hear your voice everytime that IÂ’m talking,
You will believe in me,
And I will never be ignored.
I will burn for you,
Feel a pain for you,
I will twist a knife and bleed my aching heart,
And tear it apart.
I will lie for you,
Beg and steal for you,
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see,
You're just like me.
Violate all the love that IÂ’m missing,
Throw away all the pain that IÂ’m living,
You will believe in me,
And I can never be ignored.
I would die for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I would kill for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I will steal for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
IÂ’d do time for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I will wait for you,
(ah ah ah ah)
IÂ’d make room for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
IÂ’d sail ships for you,
(ah ah ah ah)
To be close to you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
To be part of you,
(ah ah ah ah)
CosÂ’ I believe in you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I believe in you,
I would die for you.
Number One Crush
Garbage's "Number One Crush" stands as a defining track from the band's early 1990s era, blending alternative rock with electronic textures to create a signature sound. The song features the group's signature interplay between frontwoman Shirley Manson's emotive vocals and the driving rhythms of producer butchie, establishing a template for the genre that would influence countless peers. Released during a period of intense creative experimentation, the recording captures the raw energy and atmospheric depth characteristic of their debut work. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a key example of how they fused pop sensibilities with industrial and post-punk elements. The track has endured as a cultural touchstone, representing the peak of their initial commercial success and artistic identity before their subsequent evolution.
