Due to their penchant for androgynous attire/makeup and raw, punky guitar riffs, Placebo have been described by some as a glam version of Nirvana. The multinational band was formed by singer/guitarist Brian Molko (part Scottish and American descent, but raised in England) and Swedish bassist Stefan Olsdal. Both members had previously attended the same school in Luxembourg, but they didn't cross paths properly until 1994 in London, England. Briefly called Ashtray Heart and influenced by the likes of Sonic Youth, the Pixies, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the aforementioned Nirvana, they began filling the vacant drum spot with percussionists like Robert Schultzberg and Steve Hewitt (the latter being the group's only member of English origin). Although Molko and Olsdal preferred Hewitt as their main man (it was this lineup that recorded several early demos), Hewitt opted to return to his other band at the time, Breed. With Schultzberg back on board instead, Placebo signed a recording contract with Caroline Records and released a self-titled debut in 1996. The album was a surprise hit in the U.K., where singles like "Nancy Boy" and "Teenage Angst" became Top 40 hits. Meanwhile, the bandmates themselves became the toast of the British music weeklies and supported their debut by opening for such outfits as the reunited Sex Pistols,U2, and Weezer. Despite the group's early success, Schultzberg wasn't seeing eye to eye with the other bandmembers, who by this point were able to convince Hewitt to rejoin the lineup, prompting Schultzberg's exit from the band in September 1996. One of Hewitt's first performances with Placebo upon returning proved to be a big one, as David Bowie -- a fan of the band, not to mention an influence on its sound -- personally invited the trio to play his 50th birthday bash at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1997. The following year, Placebo switched over to the major-label division of Caroline, Virgin Records, and issued Without You I'm Nothing in November. The album was another large seller in England and initially appeared to be the group's breakthrough in the U.S., where MTV embraced the album's leadoff single, "Pure Morning." Subsequent singles failed to match the success of that first song, but Without You I'm Nothing remained popular in England, where it eventually went platinum. Around the same time, Placebo recorded a cover of T. Rex's "20th Century Boy" for Velvet Goldmine, a movie in which the trio also appeared. The relationship between Placebo and Bowie continued to blossom. Bowie made a special on-stage appearance with the band during a tour stop in New York, and both parties united for a re-recording of the title track from Without You I'm Nothing, which was issued as a single in 1999. Placebo's third release, Black Market Music, added hip-hop and disco elements to the band's tense rock sound. The album was released in Europe in 2000, followed several months later by a re-sequenced American version whose track list featured several additions, including the aforementioned Bowie version of "Without You I'm Nothing" and the band's cover of Depeche Mode's "I Feel You." The recording spawned additional U.K. hits such as "Taste in Men" and "Slave to the Wage." In spring 2003, Placebo showcased a harder edge with the release of their fourth album, Sleeping with Ghosts. The album cracked the Top Ten in the U.K. and sold 1.4 million copies worldwide. Australian tour dates with Elbow and U.K. shows with Har Mar Superstar followed in 2004. Placebo's singles collection, Once More with Feeling: Singles 1996-2004, was released before the year's end. The 19-song compilation included their biggest U.K. hits and the new track "Twenty Years." Frenchman Dimitri Tikovoi (Goldfrapp, the Cranes), who had mixed selected songs on Once More with Feeling, also signed on to produce Placebo's fifth effort, 2006's Meds. One year later, after landing a spot on the Projekt Revolution tour alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance, Virgin released the Extended Play '07 EP as a simple introduction for new fans to the band's past decade of music. Steven Hewitt departed Placebo in the fall of 2007, and the band left its longtime home of EMI/Virgin one year later. With new drummer Steve Forrest now on board, the band recorded Battle for the Sun and released it during the summer of 2009. A box set of the band's work for EMI, The Hut Recordings, was released the same day, and an extensive tour kept the guys busy for another year. For fans who couldn't make the shows, Placebo also issued a live mini-album, Live at La Cigale, whose songs were taken from a 2006 performance in Paris. The band returned in 2009 with its sixth studio album, Battle for the Sun, which was produced by Grammy winner David Bottrill (dEUS, Silverchair, Muse). In 2010 Molko and Olsdal announced they had been working on new material, which culminated in the release of the mini-album B3 EP two years later. In 2013 Placebo delivered their seventh studio album, the Adam Noble-produced Loud Like Love.

Come home 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
Teenage angst 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

*** In the Once More With Feelings tour, Brian added an extra lyrics in English Summer Rain the lyrics are "stolen" from a song of Neil Young called "Like a Hurricane" *** "Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.
*** In the Single Version of the song, Brian added an extra lyrics in English Summer Rain at the end :
I can't sleep without your breathing And I can't breathe each time you're leaving And I'll pray you won't stay away And you come back to me some day"

This Picture I hold an image of the ashtray girl As the cigarette burns on my chest I wrote a poem that described her world That put my friendship to the test And late at night Whilst on all fours She used to watch me kiss the floor What's wrong with this picture? What's wrong with this picture? Farewell the ashtray girl Forbidden snowflake Beware this troubled world Watch out for earthquakes Goodbye to open sores To broken semaphore We know we miss her We miss her picture Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Farewell the ashtray girl Angelic fruitcake Beware this troubled world Control your intake Goodbye to open sores Goodbye and furthermore We know we miss her We miss her picture Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Hang on Though we try It's gone Hang on Though we try It's gone Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated For fear of growing old Can't stop growing old...

to kill the song ‘Cause the melody's all wrong And there's a fever coming on It's hard to reconcile What I've become With the wounded child Hiding deep inside Breathe underwater I'm coming up for air I wanna see another dawn Coming up for air Sick of the slaughter I'm coming up for air ‘Cause I've been floating here too long Take my ego for a ride ‘Cause there's nobody by my side It's getting hard to justify And it won't be long ‘til I collide My weakness is laid bare As people stop and stare But it's the last time I swear It's hard to reconcile What I've become With the wounded child Hiding deep inside Breathe underwater I'm coming up for air I wanna see another dawn Coming up for air Sick of the slaughter I'm coming up for air ‘Cause I've been floating here too long Start breathing Start breathing Start breathing Start breathing Breathe underwater I'm coming up for air I wanna see another dawn Coming up for air Sick of the slaughter I'm coming up for air ‘Cause I've been floating here too long I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming, coming up for air Coming up for air Coming up for air Come Undone You don't know how you're coming across You don't know what you're coming across You don't know who you're coming across You don't know how you're coming across So you come undone You don't know how you're coming across Acting like you don't give a toss Walking around like

across You don't know how you're coming across And I don't think you're aware of the cost So you come undone You come You come undone You know, you know, you know Kings Of Medicine They're picking up pieces of me While they're picking up pieces of you In a bag you will be before the day is over Were you looking for somewhere to be Or looking for someone to do Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you And on the back of my hand Were directions I could understand Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker Has gone and ruined all our plans Our best made plans Don't leave me here to pass through time Without a map or road sign Don't leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I I wouldn't know where to begin I asked the kings of medicine They're picking up pieces of me While they're picking up pieces of you Lying on ice you will be before the day is over It's a case in point baby That you never thought it through Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you And on the tip of my tongue Were words that always came out wrong ‘Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort And left to dry out in the sun The noonday sun Don't leave me here to pass through time Without a map or road sign Don't leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I I wouldn't know where to begin I asked the kings of medicine But it seems they've lost their powers Now all I'm left with is the hours Don't leave me here Don't leave me here, oh no I wouldn't know where to begin...

you Like I did in my time As you wake, does he smother You In kisses long and true Does he even think to bother And at night under covers As he's sliding into you Does it set your sweat on fire Want you so bad I can taste it But you're nowhere to be found I'll take a drug to replace it Or put me in the ground In the arms of another Who doesn't mean anything to you Do you lose yourself in wonder If I could, I would hover While he's making love to you Making rain as I cry Want you so bad I can taste it But you're nowhere to be found And I'll take a drug to replace it Or put me in the ground Want you so bad I can taste it But you're nowhere to be found I'll take a drug to replace it Or put me in the ground Put me in the ground And put me in the ground Put me in the ground Purify Spatial awareness So much confusion And it's so difficult to harness But then I look at you Nimble and righteous And then I look at the floor We made a fine mess My kiss Can you feel it yet In the back of the legs And on the nape of your neck Are you a temple Are you a temptress There's too much choice The possibilities are endless So wash away my sins Give me catharsis And re-magnetise My moral compass My kiss Can you feel it yet In the back of the legs And on the nape of your neck Your touch Well I can not regret I love the shape of your mouth And the back of your head You are so my kind Erotic and divine I gotta testify To how you purify To me you're more than a human You are more complex You're like a fallen angel Who uses God as a hex My kiss Can you feel it yet In the back of the legs And on the nape of your neck Your touch Well I can not regret I love the shape of your mouth And the back of your head You are so my kind Erotic and divine I gotta testify To how you purify Begin The End

don't misapprehend There's nothing left, no fortress to defend Tonight's the night that we begin the end, oh You and I kept looking to transcend The fact that I was breaking to your bend But this is now and sadly that was then Tonight's the night that we begin the end, oh I tried, God knows I try But there's nothing you can do to change my mind I tried, God knows I tried But there's nothing you can do to change my mind And I don't enjoy to watch you crumble I don't enjoy to watch you cry But make no mistake Make no mistake Look me in the eye, say that again Blame me for the sorry state you're in It's not my fault if you can't comprehend That tonight's the night that we begin the end, oh I tried, God knows I try But there's nothing you can do to change my mind I tried, God knows I

not of happenstance But you're a victim all the same Stuck inside a circumstance With your confusion and your blame And when I get drunk You take me home And keep me safe From harm When I get drunk You take me home I ask you for another second chance But then I drink it all away And I get bellicose when you react Full of frustration and dismay I was so delicate when we began So tender when I

Running Up That Hill
( Kate Bush cover ) It doesn't hurt me. You wanna feel how it feels? You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? You wanna hear about the deal I'm making? You *be running up that hill* You and me *be running up that hill* And if I only could, Make a deal with God, And get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building. If I only could, oh... You don't want to hurt me, But see how deep the bullet lies. Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder. There is thunder in our hearts, baby. So much hate for the ones we love? Tell me, we both matter, don't we? You, *be running up that hill* You and me, *be running up that hill* You and me won't be unhappy. And if I only could, Make a deal with God, And get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building, If I only could, oh... 'C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling, Let me steal this moment from you now. C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling, Let's exchange the experience, oh...' And if I only could, Make a deal with God, And get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems. x2 'If I only could, be running up that hill.' x7

Shine the headlight Straight into my eye 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 I'm petrefied I'm still not satisfied Well I was suicidal once But now honestly I'm fine I'll stick to my needle And my favorite waste of time Both spineless and sublime Since I was born I started to decay Now nothing ever ever goes my way

Eyesight to the blind 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. *** Thanx a lot to Dee for this one ***
Nancy Boy
( Demo Version )
Alcoholic kind of mood, I've lost my head, I've 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 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 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, Half a genius half a junkie, Fifty pounds, Press my button, Going down. 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 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 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 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 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 first rehearsal, Got the muse in my head she's universal, Spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

Been Smoking Too Long ( Nick Drake )
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

Boys don't cry
( Live Wembley 05-11-2004 with Robert Smith )
I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I've said too much Been too unkind So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your knees And beg forgiveness Plead with you But I know that It's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to Laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's too late And you've already Gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just Keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

Everything's forgotten Everything's so rotten Why don't you release me? Why don't you just tease me? I don't think I need you anymore I don't think I need another whore I just feel like you should wait Time will tell before it's too late When all is said and done you Just ain't no fun to be with You're my bulletproof cupid You're my little stupid You're my fluctuated You're my inspector gadget You're my new toy to play with You're my toy boy to be with You're my bulletproof cupid Just a little too stupid Everything is taken Everything's awakened Why don't you reject me? Why don't you just infect me? I don't think I want this anymore I don't think I want another whore I just feel like we should wait Time unfolds then it's too late When all is said and done you Can't be the one to run with You're my bulletproof cupid You're my little stupid You're my incarcerated You're my fortune faded You're my new tool to play with You're my new fool to be with You're my bulletproof cupid Still that little bit stupid

Oh where are you now Pussy 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, treading the sand Please Please, lift a hand I'm only a person Whose armbands beat On his hands, hang tall Won't you miss me Wouldn't you miss me at all Oh oh oh The poppy bird's way Swing twigs coffee brands around Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue My head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand Please Please, please lift the hand I'm only a person with Eskimo chain I tattooed my brain all the way Won't you miss me Wouldn't you miss me at all

Five Years ( David Bowie Cover / Live @ Traffic Music 27.02.2004 ) Pushing thru the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over We had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us He said 'earth was really dying' Cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies There were boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people And all the tall-short people And all the nobody people And all the somebody people Never thought I'd need so many people A girl my age went off her head Hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off And I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken armfixed His stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that Well, I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour Drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine Don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I miss you, you're beautiful We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got Five years.

Flesh Mechanic 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

I do
(Once More With Feelings LP)
I wanna be much more like you Your effortlessly graceful scene That drips from every pore of you Where logic cannot intervene I wanna take a bath with you And wash the chaos from my skin I wanna fall in love with you So how do we begin ? I wanna be a girl like you The way you swing your hips in jeans I wanna wear my face like you Shiseido MAC and Maybelline I wanna paint the town with you And tickle you until you scream I wanna fall in love with you I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna be much more like you The way your smile lights up the room I'll kick back as men flirt with you To jealously I'll stay immune This confidence in me and you This hope that you and I will bloom I wanna fall in love with you I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do I wanna say I do The question is do you ?

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
( Placebo & The Cure - Live 20 years of Canal + - Zenith France 04-11-04 ) If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe... Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end...
I Know You Want To Stop ( Minxus Cover / B3 EP ) I know you want to stop There is no return from this point on Be glad for what you got Maybe you won't take too long to burn I recognise the smile There is some things I cannot forget And maybe for a while I'll pretend that we have never met We have never met We have never met Maybe we will part Will your paranoia keep you warm I'll eat it from your heart And I will still enjoy to watch you fall The credits start to roll We take off our clothes and roll around Boredom takes its toll It shall be your eyes that let you down Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Eyes will let you down Eyes will let you down And you're still You're still You're still Still around home I know you want to stop I know you want to stop Stop And you're still You're still You're still Still around home You're still You're still You're still Still around home I know you want to stop Stop
In A Funk (Japanese & iTunes bonus track from the album Battle for the Sun) Call me anticipation Call me out of line But I got a hotel reservation In the name of Valentine In the place where we'd vacation And we walked across the beach I felt your breath against my neck As the waves caressed our feet Haven knows If you promise not to go I will pay you back in kind I don't want to be alone I'm alive, so alive Call me animation Call me asinine But I'm in desperate situation With a mask to hide behind The effect on our relations And all that we believe Feels like a slap across the face Now There's a handprint on your cheek Haven knows If you promise not to go I will pay you back in kind I don't want to be alone I'm alive, so alive If you promise not to go I will pay you back in kind I don't want to be alone I'm alive, so alive Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back Is it My imagination? Is this the end of the line? Is it a reconciliation? Or just a way of killing time? God Only knows If you promise not to go I will pay you back in kind I don't want to be alone I'm alive, so alive If you promise not to go I will pay you back in kind I don't want to be alone I'm alive, so alive Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back in kind Let me pay you back in kind

It's horrid to see you again Now that you're back from the dead It's horrid to see you again So bored of being you It's horrid to see you again Now that you're back from the dead It's horrid to see you again So bored of being... Alive, alive, alive It's horrid to see you again Acting like you're on some kind of cross It's horrid to see you again An emotional retard It's horrid to see you again Unaware that all may not be lost It's horrid to see you again So bored of being... Alive, alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive It's horrid to see you again Walking around with that egg on your face It's horrid to see you again So full of apathy It's horrid to see you again Caught in a trap that you cannot escape It's horrid to see you again So bored of being... Alive, alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive

You better cut Him off. You'll have no other God before me. You'll have no other God before me. You'll have no other God before me.

Plaisir d'amour
( Live / Jean-Pierre Claris poem ) Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un instant Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie…
Protège moi
C'est le malaise du moment, L'épidémie qui s'étend, La fête est finie, on descend, Les pensées qui glacent la raison. Paupières baissées, visages gris, Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit; On ouvre le loquet de la grille Du taudis qu'on appelle maison. Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protège-moi, protège-moi Protège-moi, protège-moi Protège-moi, protège-moi Protège-moi, protège-moi Sommes-nous les jouets du destin Souviens-toi des moments divins Planant, éclatés au matin, Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls. Perdus les rêves de s'aimer, Le temps où on avait rien fait, Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls. Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protect me from what I want (Protège-moi, protège-moi) Protect me from what I want (Protège-moi, protège-moi) Protect me from what I want (Protège-moi, protège-moi) Protect me, protect me Protège-moi, protège-moi Protège-moi de mes désirs Protège-moi, protège-moi Protège-moi, protège-moi Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me (Protect me) Protect me from what I want (Protect me) Protect me from what I want (Protect me) Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me (Protect me) Protect me from what I want (Protect me) Protect me from what I want (Protect me) Protect me from what I want Protect me, protect me Protège-moi, protège-moi
Requiem For A Jerk ( Gainsbourg - Brian Molko on Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited LP ) Listen to the organ that I play for you Since you got no choice, hear me through You look as if you like it, but you seem reserved It's my requiem for a jerk I wrote it in the bath on my breakfast tray Cut my appetite for the day I tried to raise a toast, ate this second verse Buttered requiem for a jerk It's an afternoon for mourners, but the tears don't come Got what you deserved, the maximum Well I'm getting sentimental but it's too much work What's a requiem, to a jerk Well the devil left a message "Go try paradise Hell's a lot too hot Not too nice Try to take on god If you've got the nerve Even I don't need Stupid jerks" Listen to the organ that I play for you Since you got no choice, hear me through You look as if you like it in your woolen shirt It's my requiem for a jerk I wrote it in the bath on my breakfast tray Cut my appetite for the day On your white-washed face Blue steal prison wall I'll write stupid jerk, that's all

The Movie On Your Eyelids (bonus track from the deluxe edition of the album Battle for the Sun) I always watch you When you're dreaming Because I know it's not of me I smoke a dozen cancer sticks Imagine there are two or three ways To make you love me And not dream of someone else Become the movie on your eyelids The reflection of yourself The reflection Of yourself I cry when I listen to you breathing Because I know there's nothing else The conscious of that crushing feeling To know there's no connection left That we're both going through the motions That we're both living somewhere else That the movie on your eyelids Is no reflection Of myself It's no reflection Of myself It's no reflection Of myself I wanna be I wanna be your movie I wanna be I wanna be your movie Why can't you Be me Why can't you Be me Why can't you Be me Why can't you Be me Be me Be me Be Me
Then the Clouds will open up for me My guy is a tad 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 To 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 is a tad too 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 To 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 pay the price Sadness the name of the spike that took me I'll make it that's all Like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles Who came for my soul

Somebody says He's been around And somebody says It's been around... It's been around... It's been around... Well now you need me more than I need you Well now you need me more than I need you Somebody says... He's been around And somebody says It's been around... Well now you need me more than I need you Well now you need me more than I need you Well now you need me more than I need you Well now you need me more than I need you...
Unisex (bonus track from the deluxe edition of the album Battle for the Sun) Do me right, by you And I'll do you right, by heaven Along the avenues We run, run, run, run, run, run for our lives Promise me that we will make it through Promise me that we will make it through Inside we are Picasso blue Outside it's Armageddon So all that we can do Is run, run, run, run, run, run for our lives Promise me that we will make it through Promise me that we will make it through If we don't, I don't know what I'd do So promise me that we will make it through Don't worry, baby, it's just the end of the world Don't worry, baby, don't worry...

Waiting For The Son Of Man 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

Wouldn't It Be Good
(Nik Kershaw cover and B-side from the single For What It's Worth) I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it. You've got it easy You don't know when you've got it good. It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should. The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber My broken spirit is frozen to the core I don't want to be here Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away You must be joking You don't know a thing about it. You've got no problems I'd stay right there if I were you. I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard I got it Stay out of my shoes If you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside. The cold is dripping from each and every pore I don't want to be here no more I don't want to be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The grass in always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care
