With a name based on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff, EPP was originally going to mostly house B-movie reviews. Now though, it has become a repository for whatever burrs get under my pop culture saddle on any given day. Seriously, I must be insane; who else voluntarily reads a book on the history of jeans...and enjoys it?

Self-Indulgence: 30 Day Music Meme: Day 29: One Song That Gives You the Creeps

Almost done!

Day 29: One Song That Gives You the Creeps

And we come back around to Garbage once again.  Something about the song Happy Home just TOTALLY wigs me out.
I call it the affect effect.  There's a certain style of singing that, no matter what the lyrics or the style of the music, just sounds so...pained and isolated.  It's here.  Plus, with the lyrics about wanting God to tear her apart, having nothing left but shame...it just bothers me.





LYRICS

In my happy home I barely breathe
In my lovers arms I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out

In my lovers arms I wait for morning
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm

In my happy home i read the signs
In my lovers arms I move in time
There's no more crying and there's no more lies
I never once in my sweet short life was waiting for desire

And there's no more crying
And there's no more pain
I never thought for one second I'd have nothing left but shame

In my happy home I barely breathe
I never thought for one second I'd have nothing left but shame
