Placebo : Placebo
1.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,
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,
With dreams of yesterday.
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,
2.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 goodbyes
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
3.Bionic
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Forever after
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Forever after
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
4. 36 Degrees
We were tight
But it falls apart
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
And stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert
But i'm still breathing
Someone tried to do me ache
(it's what i'm afraid of)
With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances
Lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert
Happily bleeding
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
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulder toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
5. Hang On To Your I.Q.
Chinese masseuse
Comes between us
Talks in haikus
Plastic venus
Got a headrush
In her pocket
Two rubbers two lubes
And a silver rocket
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
I'm lonely
Every morning
My eyes will open wide
I gotta get high
Before I go outside
Roll another
For breakfast
Burning clouds around
And in my solar plexus
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
I'm lonely
Legs eleven
Makes me stay up late
Two fat ladies on my back
And now it's 88
I'm a fool
Whose tool is small
It's so miniscule
It's no tool at all
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id
I'm lonely
Oh
6. Nancy Boy
Alcoholic kind of mood
Lose my clothes
Lose my lube
Cruising for a piece of fun
Looking out for number one
Different partner every night
So narcotic outta sight
What a gas
what a beautiful ass
And it all breaks down at the role reversal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
Kind of buzz that lasts for days
Had some help from insect ways
Comes across all shy and coy
Just another nancy boy
Woman man or modern monkey
Just another happy junkie
Fifty pounds
Press my button
Going down
And it all breaks down at the role reversal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
does his makeup in his room
Douse himself with cheap perfume
Eyeholes in a paper bag
Greatest lay I ever had
Kind of guy who mates for life
Gotta help him find a wife
We're a couple
When our bodies double
And it all breaks down at the role reversal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over m
7. I Know
I know
You love the song but not the singer
I know
You've got me wrapped around your finger
I know
You want the sin without the sinner
I know
I know
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
The last in line is always called a bastard
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know
I know
You cut me loose in contradiction
I know
I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know
It's asking for your benediction
I know
I know
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
The last in line is always called a bastard
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
The last in line is always called a bastard
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know
8. Bruise Pristine
The means are right for taking
Fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless
In the face of beauty
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
Cas 'n' lie with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book
In the hands of love
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me
Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose
Encore [echo]
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
9. Lady Of The Flowers
'Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How's that for gratitude
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze
'Scuse me
I apologize
She's got vaccum cleaner eyes
That Sucks You In
She's got magazines
Filled with pear pies
'Scuse me
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze
She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
'Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How's that for gratitude
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
Her electronic haze
She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She lays me down
She lays me
