This single off their first album is very enjoyable. The 2 extra tracks are "Girl Don't Come" and "sleep". The last track "Sleep" is very slow with Shirly singing in that sexy voice of hers and a slow piano playing. It is depressing, just the way I like it. My only complaint is it is not long enough. It runs under 2 min. or so.

Awesome as always...i bought this import several years back to complete my collection of all things Garbage...Girl Don't Come will definately have you singing along with it's hard edged lyrics and infectios beat, Sleep is a very melanchonly song with deep lyrics and of course we all know the title track. Buy this.

Tracklisting:
1. Only Happy When It Rains
2. Girl Don't Come
3. Sleep

'Only' is Garbage's first widely popular song, and for good reason! The dynamic and emotion of this very nicely executed song make for an instant music classic!

The b-sides are great too! My personal favorite 'Sleep' is a very haunting track and worth the price of the CD.

Although disappointing because it only contains 3 songs, this single does redeem itself because those 3 songs are quite varied. "Only Happy When It Rains" has hard guitar riffs and driving beats, yet remains poppy. "Girl Don't Come" has the same effect, but replaces poppy with dark. Finally, "Sleep" is quiet and ethereal and really shows of the lower notes in Shirley's range.

There are three tracks on this single: 1) Only Happy When It Rains; 2) Girl Don't Come; and 3) Sleep. I liked all of them. Any Garbage fan should already know "Only Happy When It Rains" from their first CD. The second track, "Girl Don't Come", is a hard driving tune with a bit of industrial-style grittiness. Nice production work melds the effects into a good song. The real gem on this single is the third track, "Sleep". In direct contrast to the first two tracks, "Sleep" is a soft tune with an interesting rhythm and a great vocal performance from Shirley. Singing at what is probably the lower portion of her vocal range, you get to hear Shirley at her sultry best.
