20 YEARS AGO: Garbage - When I Grow Up

Released as a single 20 years ago this week in January 1999, this was taken from Garbage's multi-platinum selling second album 'Version 2.0'. It reached number 9 in the UK singles charts.
 
Shirley Manson described the song as being about "that delirious state of wishing and hoping and dreaming for things, not giving up. There's a great quote by Flaubert where he says, 'Sometimes the forces of the world hold us back for a while, but not for ever' ... "


"Even though you're sussed and you're smart and you've worked it all out, you haven't even got the remotest inkling of what it's all about. And you can never hope to... I'm constantly patronised by people who think they're really mature and have their life in order and are really together. That's so small minded."
