Trash Palace has released one album, "Positions", which is a catalogue of electro-rock in various different shades, from Sneaker Pimps-stealthy to Prodigy-pulsating.

Alison Shaw of Cranes lends her unmistakeable voice to "Your Sweet Love". John Cale opts for a spoken- word approach on "The Insult", narrating a piece of erotic fiction in his wonderful Welsh accent. The biggest selling point, however, is Placebo's Brian Molko who, on "The Metric System", tells the tale of a well-endowed rock god who markets his sperm like drugs. "Bad Girl" has been picked up by Sprite for one of their saucy TV commercials in Argentina.

Bad Girl
Trash Palace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands tied, blind
Do you know what to expect?
In back of my mind
I always know what's coming next
Just my kind
So lie back, accept the rest

Can you really take all I'm giving?

I'm good at being a bad girl
I've got the way to bring you to your knees
'Cause I'm good for being bad
And you'll be begging, "Please, please, please"

It makes perfect sense
And all at your expense
I'm taking full control
So you just sell your soul

Can you really take all I'm giving?

I'm good at being a bad girl
I've got the ways to bring you to your knees
I'm good for being bad
And you'll be begging, "Please, please, please"

I only wanted to kiss you
I only wanted to hate you
I only wanted to fuck you
I only wanted to love you

Oh, if I should cause you pain
Does that really make me so bad?
I cut out my heart
To stop myself, to stop myself from going mad

Tell me can you really take all I'm giving?

I'm good at being a bad girl
I've got the ways to bring you to your knees
I'm good for being bad
And you'll be begging, "Please, please, please"

I'm such a very, very, very bad girl
I do think to make you scream
I'm good for being bad
You'll be begging, "Please, please, please"

I only wanted to love you
I only wanted to love you
I only wanted to love you
Only wanted to love you

Please
