(by Greg Prato)

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.

( 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

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 bludgeoned 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.

Johnny & Mary

( Lyrics by R.Palmer )

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 hedges 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

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

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

Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy
Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy

Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy
Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Rock 'n' roll

I move like a cat, talk like a rat, 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

Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy
Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy

Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy
Twentieth century boy
I wanna be your toy

Serge Gainsbourg :

Pour l'amitié,
L'amitié entre hommes et femmes
Impensable
Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent
Le désir animal

This is the story of
Melody Nelson
Apart from me no one
Ever took her in his arms
Under her thumb
Eyes in the sun

Oh my Melody mine
Oh my Melody mine

She has nothing but love
Poor
Melody Nelson
Her life was more said than done
But her days were numbered
(?Nil?) Count fourteen falls
Fifteen on calls

A baby tiger was
Melody Nelson
Forever purring in the sun
Just as dangerous as a child
With a gun, shooting me down

Oh my Melody mine
Melody Nelson
Still playing hurting games for fun
As adorable as dumb
Deaf to the sound
To what's going down
Down
Down

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

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

You take me there
You take me where
The 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
My 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

She's crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool
I'm crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool

Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool

She's crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool
I'm crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool

Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool

She's crazy about her daddy
Oh she believes in him
She loves her daddy

She's crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool
I'm crazy like a fool
What about it Daddy Cool

Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool

Jackie

(Sinead O'connor cover )

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
And left me all alone

Now I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

And I remember the day that the young man came
Said, your Jackie's gone, he is lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach
And laid me down

You're all wrong, I said
And they stared to the sand
That man knows the sea like the back of his hand
He'll be back some time
Laughing at you

And I've been waiting all this time
For my man to come, take his hand in mine
And lead me away
To unseen shores

I've been washing the sand with my salty tears
Searching the shore these long years
And I'll walk the sea forever more
'til I find my Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh

2468

Let me tell you this story about this ambidextrous talk show host
That I used to live with who once told me that the sky was green.
I didn't believe him so I hit back with a short sharp shot, disco me to oblivion baby.
He uh, couldn't appreciate my sense of humour and that's when we started to grow apart.

Ohhh

No pain
No gain

Well things didn't improve for our relationship when I was seduced by his wife
And then I fell in love with his daughter.
And I can't help who I fall in love with, ok?
Then one day I accidently castrated his prized poodle with an electronic can opener. Yaaoucha!
He kicked me out of the house and he burnt all my pictures of his sweet Jimmy Dean.

Kangaroo Died

Well the doctor keeps me waiting
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest
Oh Oh Oh
Only happens when it's rainin
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut
Oh Oh Oh

Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh

It's a nightmare in the alley
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat
Oh Oh Oh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinnin like a Cheshire cat
Oh Oh Oh

And I'm feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh

I'm tryin to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know

Well the priest is at the pulpit
Tellin me I'm wrong
Tellin me I'm sickening
Oh Oh Oh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be
Oh Oh

So I'm feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh
Feelin like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh Oh Oh

I'm tryin to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know

Always were the waters
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm not sure I can

(early version,1994)

Tonight
Touch me when our passion's through
That's right
They're all dead I'd hate to miss you
Feeling so much older
Now my body's colder
Tonight
You crush me like I was a boulder

It takes two to piss in faces
Keeps alive but leaves no traces
Trigger shoots like violent chases
In this depth is my oasis

Hang on to your IQ
Hang on to your ID
Hang on to your IQ
And please hang on to me

Tonight
Don't speak my name
Tonight
Let's break the rules of this boring game
Some key morning
And I'll get used to slashing back and choking
Tonight
When you said you loved me you were joking

It takes two to piss in faces
Keeps alive but leaves no traces
Trigger shoots like violent chases
In this depth is my oasis

Hang on to your IQ
Hang on to your ID
Hang on to your IQ
And please hang on to me

Careful not to give your favors
To the lonely housewife neighbors
I had one who one sent me her heart
In a tupperware container
Don't you dare touch my stash
And give me cigarette ash
Nothing tastes as sweet as incest
In this empire of the senses
Singing songs not meant to be sung
Beating like my bleeding heart
Careless slipping of the tongue on
Just another private part
Rabid search for stoned affection
Fights the lust that breeds infection
Meet me at the intersection
Don't forget your fuel injection

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

(Demo version)

I see light
And it hurts
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with the candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
Stick it in a box
I've always been this paranoid
But i'm still breathing

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)

And these eyes
Are born blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And all I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstance
A healthy dose of luck
I've always been an introvert
As a kid I was beaten

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)

4 7 2 3 9 8 5
I've gotta breathe to stay alive
And 1 4 2 9 7 8
Feels like I'm gonna suffocate
14 16 22
The skin that turns to blister blue

Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees

Paycheck

Consumed by the one's who made her
She's a faker, always let's me down
Dressed up like a capital shaker
Full of ganja drugs are not put down
I'll have you're guts for garters
Just for starters
Don't you make me frown
She could've been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasting half is life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed, working for the red the
White and blue
Plain sailing, safe surfing
Pocket full of back stab

Confused by the one's who break her
She's a faker, never makes a sound
Undressed like a soul prayer
Buying shares, pay her by the pound
I'll have your face for breakfast
I'm in excess, neither lost nor found
She could've been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasted half is life on speed
Now he's reformed and working for the red
The white and blue
Plain sailing, shoulder pad
Dental flossing, back stab

Pay - check, Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You god damn liar
Take me higher

I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing

Slacker, wasted half is life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed, working for the red the
White and blue
Plain sailing, wife swapping
Stool pigeon, back stab.

Pay - check, Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You god damn liar
Pants on fire

Cold lining to pour on me
But this one really takes the piss
It's likely to proquandry
I deserve so much more than this.

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 ***

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.

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

Cast a line 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

Serene
We were born to lose

Encore, encore, encore, encore, encore
Plus bas, encore, plus fort, encore (x2)

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high
As your skin starts a scratchin'
Wave yesterday's action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high

In the cold light of day

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high (x3)
As your skin starts a scratching wave yesterday's action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high

Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle away

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high

( Demo Version / Meds Dvd )

I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
A human form of dopamine

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 much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll relax since 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

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

The question is do you
The question is do you

( Demo Version / Meds Dvd )

Leave me dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearin' a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

Saw you crashin' round the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you'd say
How your promises rang hollow
As you threw me to the ground

And if you're ever around
In the backstreets or the alleys
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in pity
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

When I dream- I dream of your lips
When I dream - I dream of your fists
When I dream -I dream of your kiss
When I dream - I dream of your fists
Your fists

Leave dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
watch the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling going down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

When I dream- I dream of your lips
When I dream - I dream of your fists
When I dream -I dream of your kiss
When I dream - I dream of your fists
Your fists, your fists,your fists

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

*** Thanx a lot to Master Stroke for this one ***

There are twenty years to go
Twenty ways to know
Who'll wear
Who'll wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show

Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
The faithful and the low
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go
The punch drunk and the blow
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone

And thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
But it's you I take 'cause you're the truth not I

There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass will end too fast, you know

There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope

That's the end and that's the start of it
That's the whole and that's the part of it
That's the high and that's the heart of it
That's the long and that's the short of it
That's the best and that's the test in it
That's the doubt the doubt, the trust in it
That's the sight and that's the sound of it
That's the gift and that's the trick in it

You're the truth not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I

You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I

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 ?

What else can I say
Everyone is gay
What else can I write
I don't have the right
What else can I see
All apologies

What else can I say
Everyone, everyone, everyone is gay
Everyone is gay
Everyone is gay
Everyone is gay
Everyone is gay
Everyone is gay
Everyone is gay

"This song is called, "Allergic to thoughts of Mom".

Any means in your horizon
Impotent and far away
The eyes are tired of every making
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
The eyes are tired of heavy breaking
You 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

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

( B3 EP )

I refuse to remain in regret
To pander like a slave to your wants
No contrition from me will you get
No submission to dilettantes

I've existed too long in secret
I have lived like a man confined
Epicene and elaborate
Fatalistic and resigned
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Passion flower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

Now I bathe in the sea at sunset
And the rain washes clean my mind
Every one of my needs will be met
Every planet will be aligned

Passion flower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

Overpower
All my fear
From mouth to hour
Guide me through the real

I refuse to remain in regret
I refuse to be left behind

Passion flower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

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

Besame mucho

(Consuelo Velázquez cover - Live In Guadalajara Mexico 28.11.03)

Besame
Besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La ultima vez
Besame
Besame Mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte
Perderte despues ...

( Dream city film club featuring Brian Molko )

It's been three days
Since baby's seen her bed
Her crazy green eyes
Popping out of her head
Don't freak out
You're going to be all right
Cos billy chic'll get you home tonight

Billy chic
Never hurt no-one
Billy chic
Is gunna turn you on, is gunna turn you

Baby it's no joke
I'm in need of a toot
I couldn't get the coke
I brought a substitute
You look like a freak
You're out of sight
Cos billy chic,
Hit payload tonight

Billy chic
Never hurt no-one
Billy chic
Is gunna turn you on, is gunna turn you

Billy chic
Is gunna mess you up
Billy chic
Is gunna mess you up
It's gunna mess you up
Mess you up
Billy chic from dusk till dawn

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

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

( Before Bulletproof Cupid became an instrumental,
Brian spent quite a while trying to conjure some lyrics to complement the song.
The idea was finally abandoned, but the attempt remains )

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

And when this half is over
And we claim our second skin
We can compliment each other
On the state that we are in

And when we leave this place forever
And we're floating round in space
Take the easy way to heaven
With a smile upon your face

I remember you well at the chelsea hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines waited in the street

Crush

( Ac accoustics feat. Brian Molko )

I'll wait for him, because i know him.
Go there for him, go there first.
I'll wait for him, because i owe him.
Go there for him, because i must.
I'll wait for him, go there for him
I'll wait for him, go there first.
My place is nowhere, my name is cursed.
Before you come here, call friends and family first
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am
I'm crushed you saw this
I am i am i am
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am
Now no one lives here not even dust
The ones swept through here, more crushed than us.
There's something in here, it's not just lust
If someone lives here, it's given liken first.
There's a reason for this
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am
I'm crushed you saw this
I am i am i am
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am
Seen all kinds of things here, i've heard things said
We wear our shoes here, we share no rent
I left my friends here, some things are still dead.
Before you come here call home instead
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am
I'm crushed you saw this
I am i am i am
There's a reason for this
I am i am i am

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

Sick of drugs and dancing feet
Sick of bars where people meet
Smell of crotch and sheets not clean
Hairy men in magazines
Every city looks the same
Running from the threat of rain
Pillow talk that's just for one
Saturday get nothing done

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Human seas of apathy
Nuclear catastrophe
Jumbos crash into the ground
Governments sleep safe and sound
Mornings glisten cold and bright
Organs stolen every night
Can of beans and fast boquet
Double jackpot give away

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Drowning by numbers

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

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.

I see you've found my underground
Help yourself to guns and ammo
Nothing here has ever seen the light of day
I leave it in my head

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

You'll remember me, for the rest of your life
You'll remember me, for the rest of your life

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

Don't fuck it up
Don't fuck it up

You'll remember me, for the rest of your life
You'll remember me, for the rest of your life

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

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

(Ashtray Heart single B-Side, Archive cover)

Theres a look on your face I would like to knock out
See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth
All I want is to see you in terrible pain
Though we wont ever meet I remember your name
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a kind thing to say
But I dont think I can so fuck you anyway
You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know
That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show
Now the world needs to see that its time you should go
Theres no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to god I can think of a kind thing to say
But I dont think I can, so fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!

Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth
I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth
Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that you say
So much crap coming out it must take you all day
Theres a space kept in hell with your name on the seat
With a spike in the chair just to make it complete
When you look at yourself do you see what I see
If you do why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me

Theres a time for us all and I think yours has been
Can you please hurry up cos I find you obscene
I cant wait for the day that youre never around
When that face isnt here and you rot underground
Cant believe you were once just like anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil himself
Pray to God I can think of a kind thing to say
But I dont think I can so fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!
So fuck you anyway!

Hardly wait

( PJ Harvey Cover / Ashtray Heart EP )

I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Say angel come
Say lick my face
Let fall your dress
I'll play the part
I'll open this mouth wide
Eat your heart

I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait

Lips cracked dry
Tongue blue burst
Say angel come
Say lick my thirst
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Here Romeo
Make my water's break

In my glass coffin
I am waiting
In my glass coffin
I am waiting...

( B3 EP )

Hey you in your ivory tower
I know where you live
Hey you with so much power
I know where you live
Been in bed with the government
With you it's take, take, and no give
The CEO of the decadent
I know where you live
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
(I know where you live)
Deep of the heart of man
With the devil's common friend

Hey you with your dynamite
I know where you live
You with your righteous and holy fight
I know where you live
With all the orphans you create
I don't think your maker will forgive
What do you ask for when you pray
How do you sleep when you're so vindictive

(I know where you live)
Deep in the heart of man
(I know where you live)
With the devil's common friend
(I know where you live)
Deep in the heart of man
(I know where you live)
With the devil's common friend

( 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

Jesus loves me, this i know
'Cause the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are week, but he is strong
Yes, jesus loves me
Yes, jesus loves me
Yes, jesus loves me
The bible tells me so

Kitsch object

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your luck is dying
Go and plant a tree
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

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

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your luck is dying
Go and plant a tree
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Weightless
Bare
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 luck is dying
Go and plant a tree
With artistic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

Said: weightless
Bare
Faithless
Scared

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

Just like every lichen
How you stick to me
If your luck is dying
Go and plant a tree
With poetic licence
Always comes for free
Just like every lichen
How you stick to me

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

Hang breathless on me
Hang breathless on me
The war will soon be over
So hang breathless on me

We'll walk slow through the empty
And we'll do as we please
We'll crawl body to body
Just like siamese
Like siamese

It's cold down by the water
And there's blood on the trees
We'll flow shoulder to shoulder
Just like siamese
Like siamese

Hang breathless on me
Hang breathless on me

The war will soon be over
So hang breathless on me

Like siamese
Like siamese
Like siamese
Like siamese
Like siamese

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

Well I was lost in conversation when he called you were sick and blue
but all that I could do was make your fears come true
You see I'm sick and tired of masturbation
Sick and tired Of all this yucky flue
So all that I could do is make your fears come true

Than multiply
Multiply
Fears will multiply
Multiply

Well I was lost in contemplation when you called you cannot get through
So all that call could do is make your fears come true
You see I'm sick of all our confrontation
Sick of how you stick to me like glue
So all that I could do is make your fears come true

Than multiply
Multiply
Fears will multiply
Multiply
And your love for me will die

Miss Moneypenny

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 a bone
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 X2

All you need to make a movie is a gun and a ...

Modern Kids

( Hotel Persona feat. Brian Molko )

Modern kids future freaks
Following media beats
Everything is on the screen
Can’t find a space
The computer erased your heart

We are modern kids
Living through a screen

No need to scour the streets
Your father is out drinking while
Your mother is home
Reading the bible
And you are on your own

Go ahead let your sun shine
You’ve got to do it your own way
Run away don’t hesitate
Run away go run away go run away

Tenement kids flying on e
Pretending they don’t give a shit
Dancing for something to be
So out of place
The computer erased their hearts

We are modern kids
Living through a screen

Grabbing today because tomorrow
Is too far away and you are alone

Go ahead let your sun shine
You’ve got to do it your own way
Run away don’t hesitate
Run away go run away

They’re gonna get you
Not gonna let you go
They’re gonna mess you up
Not gonna let you be yourself
They’re gonna tell you
Try to persuade you
They’re always fucking with your head

Run Away …

Go ahead let your sun shine
You’ve got to do it your own way
Run away don’t hesitate
Run away go run away

Run away…
Grabbing today because tomorrow is too far away

No Other God

( With Kristeen Young )

I saw your mom the other day.
She says you're wrong in every way.
Her little words sick like the flu.
I see the things they do to you.

She better cut it out.
You better cut her out.
You better cut her off.
You'll have no other god before me.

I saw you with your friends last night,
shooting shit by Bud's early Light.
You've got so much life inside you.
but they drag you down 'til you can't move.

They better cut it out.
You better cut them out.
You better cut them off.
You'll have no other god before me.

All you need, all you need, all you need is me.
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you.you found me.
Whadja do? Whadja see? Whadja feel before me?
And my love is so, oh, oh, you'll wanna kill your friends.

I've seen you labour for your dreams.
Then, comatose when they're unseen.
And sometimes God is silent, too.
but God can't fill you like I do.

He better cut it out.
You better cut Him out.
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.

I just can't get you out of my head, boy, your lovin is all I think about,
I just can't get you out of my head, boy, your dick is all I think about

Every night, every day, just to be there in your arms.
Won't you stay? Won't you say......fuck!

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la,
La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la.

I just can't get you outta my head (la la la...).

Unless you ask me to
Hurt you

Unless you ask me to
Hurt you

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

Slackerbitch

It echoes in my brain
I didn't mean it
Pulses through my vein
I didn't mean it
I'm the one to blame
I didn't mean it
Did too much cocaine
I didn't mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Always comes back for more

Your memory will fade
I didn't mean it
You've always had it made
I didn't mean it
I know you feel betrayed
I didn't mean it
I just wanted to get layed
I didn't mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Always knocking on my door

You come across impure
I didn't mean it
God damn imature
I didn't mean it
You act so insecure
I didn't mean it
You hate me now, i'm sure
I didn't mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Dripping sex from every pore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Such a mother fucking bore

*** Transcribed by Dee ***

Brian Molko :
Don't stare at your face with your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly

Brian Molko & Jane Birkin :
So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Jane Birkin :
Don't mess with your man when he's selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don't curse at a whore as you open the door
Cos' your service wont be with a smile

So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Brian Molko :
Don't sneer at your doctor or Gamble and proctor
Cos' they're just pawns in the game

Jane Birkin :
The perfect prescription is one that you're given
It's filled out in Jesus' name

Brian Molko :
Don't be scared of your preacher cos' hes just a leech
He's too busy cruising your ass

Jane Birkin :
There's a verse in the Bible
That says we're all liable
For everything that comes to pass

Brian Molko & Jane Birkin :
So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile

( Dream city film Club feat. Brian Molko )

Some like to dream
Some like to live
Some like to take
Some like to give
Some take enough
Some take it all
Some will rise
And some will fall
Some like it tight
Some like it loose
Some need a reason
Some need no excuse
Some like it dirty
Some like it clean
Some like it tender
And some like it lean
Some fuck for fun
Some for prestige
Some come on their feet (and)
Some come on their knees
Some say they're bent
Some say they're straight
Some come early
And some come late
I'm taking some
Now I'm taking some

( B3 EP )

I try every day
To think of something deep to say
Cos I would like to find the words
That deserve to be heard

Sounds like words are out of style
Silence beckons down the murder mile
I keep on talking to the hand
In a language I don't understand

If I am an extra in the film of my own life
Then who the hell is the director
If I am an extra in the film of my own life
Will someone please turn off the camera

And show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live

I try every night
Not to argue, not to fuss and fight
But there's a riot in my head
Streets are bleeding and democracy is dead

Let's fight until the end of days
Let's destroy and let's devastate
We keep on talking to the hand
In a language we don't understand

If I am an extra in the film of my own life
Then who the hell is the director
If I am an extra in the film of my own life
Will someone please turn off the camera

And show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live

Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live

Show me how to live, show me how to live
(I am an extra in the film of my own life)
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live

Show me how to live, show me how to live
(I am an extra in the film of my own life)
Show me how to live, show me how to live
Show me how to live, show me how to live

I try every day
To think of something deep to say

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

Rock boy is genital suck juice mad
His delicious apparatus would flutter and tremble after pubic worship
He would freeze it in a jar and sell it to celebrity lesbians

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
And they never fuck around
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
And they're payin by the pound

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

Rock boy is genital suck juice mad
His delicious apparatus would flutter and tremble after pubic worship
He would freeze it in a jar and sell it to celebrity lesbians

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
And they never fuck around
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
And they're payin by the pound

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
And they're payin by the pound

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

Time Is Money

( B3 EP )

Time
Time is money, bastard
And hope
Is all that you can steal
And time
Is happy ever after
With Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus at the wheel

And you are so beautiful
That I would drink my fill
More pure and more suitable
Than any pint of poison
I could guzzle or spill

War
War is money, bastard
Cos fear
Keeps knocking at your door
But war
Is spreading like a cancer
With Jesus, Jesus
Jesus marching on before
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And you are so beautiful
That I will drink my fill
More pure and more suitable
Than any pint of poison
I could guzzle or spill

Love
Claims to have the answer
To all
Your troubles every day
But love
Love is money, bastard
So like Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, give it all away

And you are so beautiful
That I will drink my fill
More pure and more suitable
Than any pint of poison
I could guzzle or spill

I could guzzle or spill
I could guzzle or spill
I could guzzle or spill
I could guzzle or spill

To call in silence
To call in starts
Come together some
And so far it works
So call
Before you come down...

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...

Do me right, by you
No matter what may happen
Forever more and hither hereunto
We run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run...

Don't worry baby, it's just the end of the world
Don't worry baby, this place is broken and absurd

Don't worry baby, it's just the end of the world
Don't worry baby, don't worry...

Do me right, by you
And I'll do you right, by heaven

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

(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
