Garbage - April Tenth Lyrics 

It was April the tenth

I remember it well

It was so cold that year

It was colder than hell



Things haven't been good 

For you, for a while 

Because I'd been on tour

I hadn't heard



And you've dropped in

With the letter you wrote

And I read it aloud

To prove that I could



And we were both laughing

Cause we know how you are

We never thought

Your quitting was good



We thought that we knew you 

And I guess that we don't

Are you heavenly or

just like the past?



We called you "the black penny"

Remember that?



The sea is wide

The streets are long

And there's blood on all our hands

With the catalyst gone



And only what's left to us 

Is history built on dust

I was sweating on poet's words

Great nations and governments



Sweet lies and victories

Eager and keen to please

those good keys are everywhere

with their thousand-yard stare



We all end up the same

Like little lambs to meet their end
