from Placebo 1집 - Placebo (1996)
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, with 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 |

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. |

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. * Repeat 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. * Repeat |

'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 vacum cleaner eyes suck 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. |

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, pristine, serene, we were born to lose. ?encore? |echoed| 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.

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 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. |

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 onto 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 I'm lonely Oh |

Consumed by the ones who make her
She's a faker, always lets me down Dressed up like a capital shaker Full of ganja, drugs are never down I'll take your hips Just for starters Don't you make me frown She could have been a nutter So I had to cut the mother down Slacker, wasting half his life on sniffing glue Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue Plain sailing, safe surfing Public peeling, back stab Confused by the ones who break her She's a faker, never makes a sound Undressed like a soul in prayer Buy a share, pay her by the pound I'll have your face for breakfast I'm in excess, neither lost nor found She could have been a nutter So I had to cut the mother down Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue Plain sailing, shoulder rubbing 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 I never Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the 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 pro quandary I deserve so much more than this. |

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 Lousy protozoan 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 work 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 rust 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. |
