I Think I'm Paranoid
from Version 2.0 released as a single 1999
LYRICS - I THINK I'M PARANOID
You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
I think I'm paranoid
I'm complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you
I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nail my faith to the sticking pole
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
Complicated
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you
Paranoid
I think I'm paranoid
Steal me, deal me
anyway you heal me
Maim me, tame me
you can never change me
Love me, like me
come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me
go ahead and leave me!
Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right
Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right

Another song about relationships, as many Garbage songs are. This one's pretty heady stuff. Do anything to me as long as I want you to. Fair enough.
There is also a defiant message to anyone who might think they can tell Shirley Manson what to do.
The song is an open declaration of bold daring fronting an exposed vulnerability. This is of course what we are all like if we care to admit it.

weak, wonton woman falling in a feint like a silent movie queen! Oh can't wait to get my hands on the sticking pole.
"Maim me tame me, you can never change me. Love me like me, come ahead and fight me" "I fall down just to give you a thrill...I nail my faith to the sticking pole"
