Garbage (album)
Garbage is the debut studio album by American rock band Garbage. It was released on August 15, 1995, following critical acclaim and promising chart positions for their debut single "Vow", which reached number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Garbage eventually spent over a year on both the US and UK charts, reaching the top 20 on charts worldwide and receiving multi-platinum certifications in numerous territories. The album's success was helped by the band promoting it on a year-long tour, including playing on the European festival circuit and supporting the Smashing Pumpkins throughout 1996, as well as by a run of increasingly successful singles culminating with "Stupid Girl", which received Grammy Award nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1997. Garbage was considered innovative by critics.
In October 2015, the album was reissued to mark its 20th anniversary, featuring remastered tracks from the original analog tapes, as well as remixes and previously unreleased alternate versions of songs from the album.

As Heaven Is Wide
by: GarbageNothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
Take it's conscience with it
As it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind
You broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish
Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't? You should have thought of that
What's inside a man
That goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you in the place
Where you left me
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish I could fly
As angels can fly
