Bush was a Post-Grunge band from England, formed in 1992, and released their first album, Sixteen Stone in 1994.

They named the band after the place they used to live, Sheperd’s Bush, London.  In Canada, they were known as BushX because there was a 1970s band named Bush and they owned the Canadian rights to the name.  In 1997, Doomenic Trojano, the leader of the earlier band agreed to let them use the name in exchange for donating $20,000 to the Starlight Children’s Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.

Sixteen Stone had four hits, “Everything Zen”, “Little Things”, “Comedown”, and “Glycerine”.

Glycerine is probably the most well-known song Bush did — especially the following version taht Gavin Rossdale did during a heavy storm at the 1996 MTV Spring Break.

Everything Zen

There must be something we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Dave’s on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We’re so bored you’re to blame

Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so

Raindogs howl for the century
A million dollars a steak
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There’s no sex in your violence
There’s no sex in your violence

Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so

I don’t believe that Elvis is dead, yes
I don’t believe that Elvis is dead
I don’t believe that Elvis is dead,no
I don’t believe that Elvis is, Elvis is

There’s no sex in your violence
There’s no sex in your violence
There’s no sex in your violence
There’s no sex in your v i o l e n c e!

Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so
Zen,Zen,
I don’t think so, Idon’t think so

Glycerine

It Must be your skin that I’m sinking in
It Must be for real ’cause now I can feel
And I didn’t mind it’s not my kind
It’s not my time to wonder why
Everything’s gone white
And everything’s grey
Now you’re here now you’re away
I don’t want this
Remember that
I’ll never forget where you’re at
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
Glycerine

I’m never alone
I’m alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it’s like strawberry fields
I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn’t love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don’t let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn’t change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine
Glycerine
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
Oh, Glycerine!

Bad moon white again
Bad moon white again
As she falls around me

I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be me
Clear simple and plain
That’s just fine
That’s just one of my names
Don’t let the days go by
Could have been easier on (you)
Glycerine
