20th century boy Placebo

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood

I move like a rat, talk like a cat, sting like a bee
Babe I'm gonna be your man

And it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your toy
Your twentieth century boy

Friends says it's fine, friends says it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood

Fly like a plane, drive like a car, hold out your hand
Babe I'm gonna be your man

I'm your boy
Your twentieth century toy

36 degrees Placebo

We were tight
But it falls apart
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
And stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert
But I'm still breathing

Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
It's what I'm afraid of
Some tried to do me ache
It's what I'm afraid of

With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances
Lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert
Happily bleeding

Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
It's what I'm afraid of
Some tried to do me ache
It's what I'm afraid of

Four, seven, two, three, nine, eight, five
I gotta breathe to stay alive
And one, four, two, night, seven, eight
Feels like I'm gonna suffocate
Fourteen, sixteen, twenty-two
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulder toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees

Allergic (to thoughts of Mother Earth) Placebo

Any means in your horizon
Heaven in a tourniquet
The afterlife to keep your eyes on
Bitter pill you take you take today
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the nth degree
It takes it's smile from every children
You take the beating

Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two
We gamble to be born again
You know I never wanted to
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the nth degree
It takes it's smile from every children
You take the beating

The light divining, the light defining
The light divining, the light dividing

Don't let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Don't let me
Don't let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Let me

Don't let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Don't let me
Don't let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Let me

The light divining, the light defining
The light divining, the light deviding

Ask for answers Placebo

Time to pass you to the test
Hanging on my lover's breath
Always coming second best
Pictures of my lover's chest

Get through
This night
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

Always falling to the floor
Softer than it was before.
Dog boy, media whore
It's who the hell you take me for.

Give up
This fight
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

These bonds are shackle free
Wrapped in lust and lunacy
Tiny touch of jealousy
These bonds are shackle free

Get through
This night
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free

Get through
This
There are no second chances

This time, this
To ask the sea for answers

Been smoking too long Placebo

Yeah, I really, um, I really, I really wanted to kind of like,
To capture some kind of like moment, but maybe it's better if I'm sober...'

Wake up in the morning, I look at my clock
It's way past noontime, I'm late for work
Tell me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking too long

Go to fix me some breakfast, I ain't got no food
Take me a shower, the water don't feel no good
Tell me what have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking too long

I got opium in my chimney, no other life to choose
Nightmares made of hash dreams, the devil in my shoes
What have I done wrong?
Yeah nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking too long

When I'm smoking, smoking, put my worries on a shelf
Try not to think about nothing, don't wanna see myself
What have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking too long

In this blues I'm singing, there's a lesson to be learned
You go round smoking, you're gonna get burned
Fuck me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking
Too long, too long

Bigmouth strikes again Placebo

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head
Oh, sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be blugeoned in your bed

And now I know how joan of arc felt
Now I know how joan of arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her discman started to melt

Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race
Oh
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race.

And now I know how joan of arc felt
Now I know how joan of arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her megadrive started to melt

Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race.
Oh, Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race.

Black market blood Placebo

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

There's a place within her mind
With rains already falling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling 

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood

Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market

Black-eyed Placebo

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordelining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss

I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordeline bipolar
Forever biting your nuts

I was never grateful
That's why I spent my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Broken home

Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordeling schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss

I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Broken home

Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Broken home
Black-eyed
Broken home
Black-eyed
Broken home
Black-eyed
Broken home

Blue American Placebo

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue
And I say thank you
I say thank you

I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the Mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the times she sang God's song
And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom
Hi Mom

I read a book about Uncle Tom
Where whitey bastard made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong
And I ask
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are

I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf

But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care

I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious
Yes it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Bruise pristine Placebo

The means are right for taking,
Fade to grey,
Trying to be ruthless,
In the face of beauty.
In this matrix,
It's plain to see,
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.

Cas 'n' lie with a velvet glove,
Reading like an open book,
In the hands of love.
In this matrix,
It's plain to see,
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.

Encore [echo]
Encore [echo]

Means are right for taking
Fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless
In the face of beauty
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me

Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.

Bubblegun Placebo

Take this migraine everywhere I go
Take the fast lane everywhere I go
Take this migraine everywhere I go
Someday gonna take it slow

Take this migraine everywhere I go
Take the fast lane everywhere I go
Take this migraine everywhere I go
Someday gonna take it slow

I wanna turn you on
Feels like a loaded gun
Spit out your bubblegum
I wanna ... wanna ...

I wanna ... wanna ...

I wanna turn you on
Feels like a loaded gun
Spit out your bubblegum
I wanna ... I wanna ...

I wanna ... I wanna ...
I wanna ... I wanna ...
I wanna ... I wanna ...

I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna cum

Burger queen Placebo

Slightly bemused by his lack of direction
Hey you, hey you

Come home Placebo

Stuck between the do or die
I feel emaciated
Hard to breathe I try and try
I'll get asphyxiated
Swinging from the tallest height
With nothing left to hold on to

Every sky is blue,
But not for me and you,
Come home come home,
Come home come home.

Glass and petrol vodka gin
It feels like breathing methane
Throw yourself from skin to skin
And still it doesn't dull the pain
Vanish like a lipstick trace
It always blows me away.

Every cloud is grey,
Dreams of yesterday,
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home

Always goes against the grain
And I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain
And still he's bound to fry it
Now the happening scene is dead
I used to want to be there too

Every sky is blue,
But not for me and you,
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home

Commercial for Levi Placebo

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so is another line
It's a remedy
You should take more time

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's showers always golden
Spunk and bestiality well it's an Assisi lie
It's ahead of me, you should close your fly

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine
Coke and ecstasy, you're gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die X4

Dark globe Placebo

Oh, where are you now?
'Cause the willow that smiled on this leaf
When I was alone
You promised the stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down
Trenning my sand please

Please lift your hand
I'm only a person
Who's arm bounds beetles
Hands lay tall
Won't you miss me
Wouldn't you miss me at all oh, oh, oh

The poppybirds wang
Swing twig-coffee ground around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down
Trenning my sand please, please,

Please lift your hand
I'm only a person
Who's asking my chains
I've tatooed my brain all the way
Won't you miss me
Wouldn't you miss me at all oh, oh, oh

Days before you came Placebo

Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that changed their name
And a horn of plenty

Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine
Couldn't start to hide me

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade.

Days before you came
It always seemed enticing to be naked and profane
There is no denying

Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding

Do what you anyway X4

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Won't you join me now?
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you

Do what you anyway X 4

Drowning by numbers Placebo

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such determination, always tries to turn the tide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide
Open up your soul, falling back into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

Blood, Dive in, Blood
Drowning, Blood, Dive in
[Repeat]

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Auto-flagellation always helps the ghost to hide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

Blood, Dive in, Blood
Drowning, Blood, Dive in
[Repeat]

Every me, every you Placebo

Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My hearts a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent

Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you

Sucker love, a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse

In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every Me...hee

Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake

I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every Me...hee

Every me and every you
Every Me...hee

Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind

All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every Me...hee

Every me and every you
Every Me...hee (x4)

Evil dildo Placebo

(The voices you hear were taken from Brian's answer machine)

Hey motherfucker, I'm after you. I know where you live.

I will fuck you up the ass and I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off
And stuff it in my mouth and chew it up with my little teeth.

Eyesight to the blind Placebo

You don't know me
And you never hold me
Like your little piece on the side
My mother told me
That you're never lonely
When you're laughing, all the time

Inside-out and outside-in
You bring eyesight to the blind
Crying, is a crime.

Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.

You don't know me
And you never hold me
Like your little boy in blue
My father told me
That you're always lonely
When they're all laughing at you

Inside-out and outside-in
You bring Jesus to the jew.

Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.

You don't know me
And you never hold me
Like your little piece on the side

Inside-out and outside-in
You bring eyesight to the blind.

Flesh mechanic Placebo

He tries to embrace her
She wants him to race her
He needs a laser
To get it through her skull
(Means and lies and hatreds)?
Tears that fall in sequence
Cold caress
Imprints
Conversation growing dull

Says he's a poet
Loudly protoazoan
And he kisses ass for free
I took a vow of silence
When he tries to talk to me
I just turn on the tv

He tries to impress her
Mentally undress her
It takes more to possess her
But in his pocket lies a hole
He's got a thousand talents
Charisma by the bagful
Aristocratic parents
A rebel with a heart of gold

Says he's a poet
This time he's gonna blow it
'Cause he's dancing with his ego
I took a vow of silence
When he reads his words to me
I swallow words like a
Placebo

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
Gets him in a panic
He's wasting time
'Cause everybody is a star
In his eyes

Careful not to give your favours
To your lonesome fucked-up neighbours
I had one who sent me her heart
In a tupperware container
All the movies in my head
They flicker with my bleeding heart
A careless slipping of the tongue
On just another private part

Blatant search for
Stoned affection
Fights the lust that
Breeds infection
Meet me at the
Intersection
Don't forget your
Fuel injection

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
Gets him in a panic
He's wasting time
'Cause everybody is a star
In his eyes

You think this love is bona fide
You're being taken for a ride
Wrap your lip around your head
And slowly blow yourself away

Haemoglobin Placebo

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence
Jesus looking down on me
I'm prepared for one big silence

How'd I ever end up here
Must be through some lack of kindness
And it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

At the time they cut me free
I was brimming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science

How'd I ever end up here
A latent strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground, go
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground

As they drag me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
Theories of conspiracy
The whole world wants my disappearance

I'll go fighting nail and teeth
You've never seen such perseverance
Gonna make you scared of me
'Cause haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat

Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground, go
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground, go

Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground, go
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground, go.

Hang on to your IQ Placebo

Chinese masseuse
Comes between us
Talks in haikus
Plastic venus
Got a headrush
In her pocket
Two rubbers two lubes
And a silver rocket.

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I'm lonely, I'm lonely

Every morning
My eyes will open wide
I gotta get high
Before I go outside
Roll another
For breakfast
Burning clouds around
And in my solar plexus

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I'm lonely, I'm lonely

Legs eleven
Makes me stay up late
Two fat ladies on my back
And now it's 88
I'm a fool
Whose tool is small
It's so miniscule
It's no tool at all

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh

Holocaust Placebo

[Cover from Big Star]

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Then you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid."

Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust

I feel you Placebo

[Cover from Depeche Mode]

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind

You take me there
You take me where
My kingdom comes

You take me to
Leave me through
Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings

Where heaven waits
These golden gates
Back again
You take me to
Leave me through
Oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul
I'm a whole

I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take

Where angels sing
And spread their wings
Our love's on high

You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul
I'm a whole

I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I know Placebo

I know, you love the song but not the singer,
I know, you've got me wrapped around your finger,
I know, you want the sin without the sinner,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

I know, you cut me loose from contradiction,
I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition,
I know, It's asking for your benediction,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

Johnny & Mary Placebo

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy, truth from him.
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman.

But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim.

Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool.
Johnny say's he'll live any where, when he earns time to.

Mary combs her hair, says she should be use to it.

Mary always edges her bets, she never knows, what to think.
She says that he still acts, like he's being discovered.

Scared that he'll get caught, without a second thought

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion
So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely

Mary counts walls, says she should be use to it

Kitsch object Placebo

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your love is dying
Going passively (?)
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Slipped her way backstage
Paris is the rage?
Close in on your prey
How I slipped away

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your love is dying
Going passively (?)
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Weightless
Bad hair
Faithless
Scared

Know that creatures face
Both seen better days
Too quick to blow a fuse
That's the likely juice

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your love is dying
Going passively (?)
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Said: weightless
Bad hair
Faithless
Scared

Slipped her way backstage
Paris is the rage?
Close in on your prey
How I slipped away

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your love is dying
Going passively (?)
With poetic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Lady of the flowers Placebo

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
He likes your attitude,
He tries it on for size,
He spends the afternoon,
Between your thighs,
How's that for gratitude,
I apologize.

It seemed to last for hours,
It seemed to last for days,
This lady of the flowers,
And her hypnotic gaze.

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
She's got vaccum cleaner eyes,
So cute,
She's got magazines,
Filled with hair styles,
'Scuse me,
I apologize.

It seemed to last for hours,
It seemed to last for days,
This lady of the flowers,
And her hypnotic gaze.

She wears her tears on her blouse,
Confused and racked with self-doubt,
She stole the keys to my house,
And then she locked herself out.

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
He likes your attitude,

It seemed to last for hours,
It seemed to last for days,
This lady of the flowers,
Her electronic haze.

She wears her tears on her blouse,
Confused and racked with self-doubt,
She stole the keys to my house,
And then she locked herself out.

She stole the keys to my house,
And then she locked herself out,
She lays me down,
She lays me.

Leni Placebo

I kneel before her
Beneath this frozen sky
Beneath her shoulder
Beneath her evil eye
She towers over this male who is a fly
My sci-fi lullaby

I kneel before her
Beneath this frozen sky
I beg below her
My limbs are paralyzed
She beats me harder than any kind of guy
My sci-fi lullaby

Little Mo Placebo

In our pain and sinning fall
Accept peace and whine
Going bad and taking all this
It's of each and tide
Calling bean and sinning call
Now I'm neat and tight
Gonna crap with naked Elvis
Sits there cheating high

Tonight, Jesus loves you
Tonight, Jesus loves you
Tonight, Jesus loves you
Tonight, Jesus loves you

We are dead and cynical
Gun of peace in my eye
See the back with naked Elvis
It's a cheating high 

But she will back on mainframe
She got crack on cocain
She got crack on seeing
Cheater, cheater...

Tonight, Jesus loves you X7

Till our death and sinning call
Except she can hide
All those fat and sacred elders
Sister off and bad-eyed

She got back on mainframe
She got crack on cocain
She got crack on seeing
Cheater, cheater...

Tonight, Jesus loves you X7

Rise (?lies?) tonight

Miss Moneypenny Placebo

Penance for his sin, he locked it in for just a little while
Lubricating creams, sanitaries would only cramp his style
It's a dirty job but shooting guns just makes you horny
Wants to spill his seed on guaranteed, service with a smile.

Miss Moneypenny
Miss Moneypenny
Oh
Miss Moneypenny
Miss Moneypenny
Oh

Pitter patter of the eyelid on the first roll of the dice
Feel the atmosphere, it's gently laced with nicotine and spice
It's a long walk home, the entrance of the night is scary
Only trouble is, he never learned to shoot the same gun twice

Miss Moneypenny, Miss Moneypenny, Oh
Miss Moneypenny, Miss Moneypenny, Oh

Every job he saves ???
Martini, mobile phone
Bastards getting in his way
They're all pushing daisies
All you need to make a movie is a gun and a girl

0898 007 [repeat]

My sweet prince Placebo

Never thought you'd make me perspire
Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed

Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince, you are the one
My sweet prince, you are the one

Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vain

Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X5

Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you baby
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X9
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Nancy boy Placebo

Alcoholic kind of mood,
Lose my clothes,
Lose my lube,
Cruising for a piece of fun,
Looking out for number one,
Different partner every night,
So narcotic outta sight,
What a gas,
What a beautiful ass !

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

Kind of buzz that lasts for days,
Had some help from insect ways,
Comes across all shy and coy,
Just another nancy boy,
Woman man or modern monkey,
Just another happy junkie,
Fifty pounds,
Press my button,
Going down.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

Does his makeup in his room
Douse himself with cheap perfume
Eyeholes in a paper bag
Greatest lay I ever had
Kind of guy who mates for life
Gotta help him find a wife
We're a couple
When our bodies double

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal,
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men

Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men

It's been this way since Christmas day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men

Change your taste in men X8

Teenage angst Placebo

Shine the headlight
Straight into my eyes
Like the roadkill
I'm paralysed
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in
Double feature
Pull the lever
Break the fever
And say your last goodbye

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture
Like stepping back in time
Trapped in amber
Petrified
And still not satisfied

Airs and social graces
Elocution so divine
I'll stick to my needle
And my favourite waste of time
Both spineless and sublime

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

The crawl Placebo

It takes the pain away
That could not make you stay
It's way to broke to fix
No glue, no bag of tricks

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Don't go and lose your face
At some strangers place
And don't forget to breathe
And pay before you leave

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Then the clouds will open up for me Placebo

My guy has a tan transcontinental
But it keeps me enchained
Watch an old black and white movie
Fred and Ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame
I don't want to be forgotten
I can't be alone
So don't you dare leave me
It's like coming home
It's a skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they're looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
My guy has a tattoo ornamental
When he's frozen in space
Cut your eye far to me
A covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway
I don't want to be forgotten
I can't be alone
So don't you dare leave me
It's like coming home
It's a skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they're looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, One more time for me
One more time for me, One more time for me
Trans-likened, twisting my ankle
Doing the grave dance
Narcotic? Yes please, I'll have a sample
Riding on my very last chance
Then the clouds will open for me
Gonna meet my Jesus Christ
I see history playing before me
For pleasure and passion you play the price
Sadness the name of the spike that took me
I'll make that's all
Like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles
Who came for my soul

Waiting for the son of man Placebo

Patience comes to the ugly, not me
Laughter comes to the lucky, not me
People in my head that won't stop talking
Nothing in my dream that isn't creepy crawling

Walking in the park and I think that I'm falling
Swimming in the sea and I think I'll
You guessed it
Only lifeguards
Only lifeguards
Packing all the time ??
Can save me

Waiting X3
For the son of man
For the son of man

Patience comes to the ugly, not me
Concentration comes to the ugly, not me
Nothing on the box that hasn't been born
No one in the street that isn't old

Driving in the car and I think that I'm crashing
Swimming in the Sea and I think that I'll
You guessed it
Only lifeguards X2
Packing all the time
Can save me

Waiting X3
For the son of man
For the son of man

Where is my mind Placebo

[Cover from The Pixies / Live in Lyon 2001]

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
You try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
And there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind X3

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind X3

Ahhhh, Ahhhh...

Without you I'm nothing Placebo

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Over saturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side

Tick, tock x3
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock

I'm unclean a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all

I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I...
Fall

Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing

Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing at all

You don't care about us Placebo

If it's a bad day, you try to suffocate.
Another memory, scarred.
If it's a bad case, then you accelerate,
you're in the getaway car.

You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us.

If it's a bad case, you're on the rampage.
Another memory, scarred.
You're at the wrong place, you're on the back page,
You're in the getaway car.

You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us oh oh
You don't care about us.

It's your age, It's my rage
It's your age, It's my rage
It's your age, It's my rage

You're too complicated, we should separate it.
You're just confiscated, you're exasperating.
This degeneration, mental masturbation.
Think I'll leave it all behind
Save this bleeding heart of mine

It's a matter of trust X4
Because
You don't care about us X4

It's your age, It's my rage
It's your age, It's my rage
