Garbage is an American rock band formed in 1993 in Madison, Wisconsin. The band’s line-up—consisting of Scottish singer Shirley Manson (vocals) and American musicians Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, production)—has remained unchanged since its inception. All four members are involved in the songwriting and production process. Garbage has sold over 17 million albums worldwide.

The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in March 1978. The original band consisted of founder and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). Following the deaths of Honeyman-Scott in 1982 and Farndon in 1983, the band experienced numerous personnel changes; Hynde has been the band’s only consistent member.

Award-winning, multi-platinum selling band The Pretenders featuring the Legendary Chrissie Hynde performs with special guests including Iggy Pop, Shirley Manson of Garbage, Kings of Leon and Incubus, recorded live at the Decades Rock Arena in Atlantic City, NJ.

I’m only happy when it rains I’m only happy when it’s complicated And though I know you can’t appreciate it I’m only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad Why it feels so good to feel so sad? I’m only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me

I’m only happy when it rains I feel good when things are goin’ wrong I only listen to the sad, sad songs I’m only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark My only comfort is the night gone black I didn’t accidentally tell you that I’m only happy when it rains You’ll get the message by the time I’m through When I complain about me and you I’m only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down) Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down) Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down) Pour your misery down on me

Pour your misery down You can keep me company As long as you don’t care

I’m only happy when it rains You wanna hear about my new obsession? I’m riding high upon a deep depression I’m only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me I’m only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I’m only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I’m only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me

I’m only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me Pour some misery down on me Pour some misery down on me Pour some misery down on me

Pour some misery down on me Pour some misery down on me
