Garbage - Because The Night Lyrics






Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now,
Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Garbage Because The Night Comments
  1. C.... C....

    Damn Marissa...Shred that guitar, girl...

  2. J.... C....

    Damn that guitar is bigger than her, and she owns it!
    this is absolutely amazing
    Ho-lee Shit! How am I just discovering this now????

  3. v.... a....

    Run  its a T 1000

  4. J.... G....

    Strong, _very_ strong. I'm sure Patti loved it.

  5. M.... B....

    Eric Avery <3

  6. J.... S....

    I've been playing this song A LOT, the past few days. I've listened to it over and over, and watched a lot of different bands play this song. IMO, this is the one of the best covers of it yet. I also like The Classic Rock Show version.

  7. T.... c....

    Vicious

  8. C.... ....

    That was...holy shit

  9. J.... O....

    Holy shit. This is incredible. Wish I'd know about this years ago!

  10. M.... G....

    Great cover here, but only a cover, a shadow of the originals. Because of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith's genius "Because the night" belongs to us all.

  11. h.... b....

    1:49 i was killed on sight

  12. S.... ....

    I would LOVE to see them, along with Jett, cover one of Joan's songs!

  13. S.... ....

    Damn... This is some damn good music! Gotta some the staying power of Garbage! Rock on guys! Now, haven't heard any of Screaming Females stuff. Any good?

  14. K.... ....

    Whomever says girls can't play as well as men. I think Marissa just blew them all away.

  15. M.... v....

    owwww-myyyy-goooshhhh! she shreads away like Jimi hendrix (on all along the watchtower for example).

  16. M.... v....

    Paternoster. What a cool name.- It lifts me up, ha-ha.

  17. L.... C....

    Marissa's voice is just a fucking power plant.

  18. a.... ....

    I don't know how many times I've watched this.

  19. v.... ....

    Oh my goodness ... One of my favourite cover-versions ever 🖤

  20. M.... C....

    It took me too long to find this. I can feel this down into my soul and I can't get enough of it. This combination is so powerful and there needs to be so much more of this because it is everything.

  21. K.... ....

    Still wows me seeing that big voice coming from such a tiny lady.

  22. C.... D....

    wow.... Marissa makes my heart race...

  23. C.... N....

    Best cover

  24. P.... S....

    Güai Güai Güai !!!

  25. D.... L....

    3:39... Let the games begin. Damn that girl can play guitar. WOW!

  26. �.... �....

    great!!! long live patti smith!!!

  27. J.... W....

    SO good. So f'ng good, When that teeny, tiny Screaming gal starts singing/playing, I"m spiraling up to heaven.

  28. o.... j....

    superbe version et la petite de Screaming Females envoie du lourd

  29. i.... ....

    2013? How come no one told me about this before? Any friend of Patty Smith is a friend of mine!

  30. w.... p....

    "and this, kids, is why i too am in a band"♫

  31. z.... t....

    Amazing cover. True to original. One of the best artists of the last century.. Patti Smith ..covered extremely well here.

  32. A.... T....

    It’s been years and I still melt at 2:44

  33. M.... D....

    The guitar work reminds me of Buckethead, and that's a great thing.

  34. J.... F....

    Damn! These two harmonizing together sound electric!

  35. M.... W....

    This is why they invented guitars.

    And music.

  36. M.... ....

    Awesome. Just brilliant.

  37. p.... ....

    Holy hell! I wasn't expecting that!

  38. T.... ....

    what is the name of the personal mixer they use next to them please ?

  39. j.... ....

    I've never heard Garbage before. They're well named.

  40. G.... Z....

    Is like a litte Happening forme ...Lotte

  41. w.... ....

    Who's that little boy?

    w.... ....

    Marissa Paternoster. She is ranked 83rd best guitarist of all time by Guitar magazine.

  42. t.... ....

    This is fucking something.

  43. 5.... ....

    VERY  GOOD!"

  44. G.... D....

    Better then original. . .

  45. s.... ....

    How about Garbage Females Screaming?

  46. B.... G....

    It's very rare for an artist to cover a song and do it 10x better than the original, kudos to both bands on an amazing collab.

  47. T.... H....

    I love Shirley Manson, but seriously, Marissa Paternoster was born to sing this song.

  48. s.... g....

    jimi rolled over in his grave,screaming female guitar

  49. B.... H....

    How did I not know this existed? Soooo good!

  50. y.... w....

    Titanic voices (bow)

  51. B.... P....

    Fucking GET IN

  52. T.... F....

    Holy shit!

  53. D.... J....

    Loving it in Edmonton Nov 2019

  54. H.... M....

    Thank you fellow YouTuber 'Bugra Ozcoban' for suggesting this video over on the U2, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith video of this song!!!
    God this is just unreal!

  55. D.... t....

    It as nice of Screaming Females to help out Garbage.

  56. C.... H....

    I like this more than Springsteen's or Patti Smith's versions.

    C.... H....

    but not Natalie Merchant's

  57. Q.... o....

    I prefer this cover to the original, which doesn't often happen to me.

  58. J.... W....

    Oh god...love the emotion.

  59. m.... ....

    Shirley is just amazing love her to bits Garbage are the best ever and this cover with Melissa P is awesome

  60. J.... R....

    wolf moo spotted

  61. R.... A....

    fantastic

  62. M.... O....

    This is spectacular! What an amazing guitarist!

  63. J.... D....

    Holy fucking shit. That is all.

  64. P.... R....

    I don't comment much but the way they combined I blew a load

  65. h.... ....

    Wow, this is RAWKING AF!!!👍👍👌

  66. D.... D....

    Shoot. I have this record somewhere in my house. I have to find it now.

  67. r.... ....

    Wasn't a Paternoster such pointy-ball medieval weapon which Knights used to bludgeon each others skulls ?

    Somehow seems an appropriate last name for this guitar playing :p

    r.... ....

    Ahem, no. A Paternoster was (well, some are still in use) a type of lift/elevator

  68. �.... �....

    Какое хорошее бесмысленное что то

  69. Y.... D....

    The voice of Marissa is more powerful

  70. E.... A....

    this all a jewel <3

  71. J.... A....

    One serious comment, and one snarky one. Amazing the guitarist duo of Garbage stepped back and let Marissa shred, and she does a great but not overdone solo. And snarky-it would have been classic if someone had put a sock on one or both the vocal mikes.

  72. A.... ....

    This ROCKS. I immediately fell in love with this.


    That said, what's with the weird sound editing at 2:33 and 2:44 ??

    A.... ....

    This 2:44 part is amazing. Great piano mixed in.

    A.... ....

    @krzysztof krzysztof Agree to disagree, I guess.

    A.... ....

    the version on spotify doesnt have it

  73. h.... ....

    I usually hate cover songs, but this is REALLY good!

  74. d.... r....

    Yo is that Butch Vig?

  75. S.... D....

    I keep listening to this, and it keeps getting better ... I wonder how much longer that will continue? :D

  76. M.... D....

    HOLY FUCK

  77. k.... ....

    Ho-lee Shit! How am I just discovering this now????

    k.... ....

    Today is my first time and I found it on a Garbage shuffle

    k.... ....

    THIS is why I like old stuff showing up in my recommended list! I've never seen it, I'm glad to have found it!

  78. D.... B....

    Marissa is killing it! Shirley unfortunately not but at least she is a good backing vocal to Marissa..

  79. B.... ....

    Holy Fuck

  80. C.... E....

    Way to slaughter a grate song. Shame!

  81. m.... d....

    I guess 424 Taliban recidivists happened to come here n didn't like, lolz, this is a tour de force.

  82. A.... K....

    Nine feet taller than anyone who dared to cover this song. Tony, Thessaloniki, Greece.

  83. S.... H....

    Melissa is running circles around the song with her guitar. If you liked this, you will absolutely love that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfZGJrsNIOA

  84. t.... ....

    definitely one of the better versions!

  85. S.... L....

    How come i found this in 2019? This goes so deep! I know other versions of the song but this is like.... a musical orgasm! Great work!

  86. c.... ....

    2019 Anyone??

    c.... ....

    Yep, a great combo, you know when Duke plays piano and gives way to an absolute guitar goddess, great version Garbage have and always be my favourite band.

    c.... ....

    2077 ??

  87. J.... B....

    Dayum...

  88. Q.... V....

    Eargasmic!

  89. R.... A....

    I'm a very very old guy and yet, as Jerry Lee Lewis said, I can still be left "Breathless". This is absolute dynamite.

  90. K.... ....

    Fell asleep with YouTube on autoplay and woke up head banging. THAT SOLO!!!
    ... RIP replay button!

  91. i.... ....

    The solo is pretty bad, just annoying to listen to. I skip it every time.

  92. B.... S....

    marissa paternoster grand champion of the shredlords, its truly a miracle her guitar doesn't regularly burst into flame

  93. m.... ....

    Amazing solo would have sounded better on a Les Paul

  94. m.... ....

    Shirley has the greatest voice

  95. D.... J....

    What a fantastic cover the song, spectacular!

  96. J.... D....

    I actually heard them do this live when I was introduced to S.F. Screaming Females opened for Garbage in this small venue in SLC. called In The Venue. They were great together.
