Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Big Machine Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
Ecstacy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh, youre so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothins real and nothing lasts
And Im aware
Im in love but you dont care
Turn your anger into lust
Im still here, but you dont trust at all
And Ill be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take whats yours and leave the rest
So Ill survive
God, its good to be alive
[chorus]
And Im torn in pieces
Im lyin there waiting for
My heart is reeling
Im blind and waiting for you
Silly love with all your sins
Wait and stop and I begin
And Ill - Ill be waitin
Livin like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
Its hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drownin in this petty world
And Im who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
Thats what makes you beautiful
Youre all a lie
I wont leave what you aint got
[chorus]
Im blind and waiting for you
Im blind and waiting for you
And I cant believe its coming true
God, its good to be alive
Im still here and waitin for you
And I cant believe its coming true
Im blind and waiting for you
