Song

In September 2005, “It's All Over but the Crying” was under consideration by Geffen Records as a potential third US single [cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1510121/20050922/garbage.jhtml | title="Shirley Manson On Garbage Hiatus: 'I'm Burnt, I'm Done, I'm Toast'"|publisher="MTV.com"|accessdate=2007-05-26] and by A&E Records as the fourth UK single from "Bleed Like Me". [cite web | url=http://99x.com/asx/iv_Garbage_8-13-05.asx | title=99x Garbage interview | publisher=99x.com | accessdate=2007-06-25] Due to the band going on hiatus, a single release never happened. On May 22, 2007, the song was listed for a September 10 single release on Allmusic [cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hpfyxzw5ldse | title="All Over but the Crying: Overview"|publisher="Allmusic.com"|accessdate=2007-05-23] and AOL Music.

After the failure of the previous single to make much impact on the charts, it's now speculated that no more singles will be released from Absolute Garbage.
