Oh come on. Please. You have to be joking. Most of Garbage's stuff has pain images through it, even the more 'nice' stuff. Think 'You Look so Fine'. "I want to break your heart and give you mine" and "you got me tethered and chained" and "bleeding for you".
Yes, it's in there, but it's not meant to be literal. This is 'nasty' but 'powerful' Shirley. She pops up quite a bit, that's why I like listening to her (maybe she appeals to my masochist tendencies). She's addressing a cheating bastard (your girlfriend told me you'd left your wife) but she's in charge of him. Lick the pavement. It is a sadistic image (on hands and knees cleaning up a foot path with your tongue) but that's all it is: an image. She's showing how pitiful he is.
