Placebo

Gracias 2010 por el señor Brian Molko.

[1] Blue American

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

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

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

I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care

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

[2] Passive Aggressive

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in crisis
He's over

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in Crisis
He's over

Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space, find me space

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in Crisis
He's over

Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart
It falls apart
It falls apart
Falls apart

Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise I see you falling
Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart
It falls apart
It falls apart
Falls apart

[3] Hang On To Your IQ

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 (x2)

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 (x2)

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 (x2)

I'm lonely
Oh

[4] Peeping Tom

I'm careful not to fall
I have to climb your wall
'Cause you're the one
Who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared

The face that fills the hole
That stole my broken soul
The one that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared (x2)

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You're still the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared (x3)
I'm scared (x4)

[5] 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 (x2)

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 (x2)

I know, you cut me loose from contradiction
I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know, it's asking for your benediction
I know (x2)

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 (x2)

[6] Pierrot The Clown

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
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown

Saw you crashing 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
And wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown

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

Leave me bleeding 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
And wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown (x5)

[7] Running Up That Hill

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 wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There's a 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]

[8] My Sweet Prince

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

Me and the dragon
Can chase all the pain away.
So before I end my day,
Remember..
My sweet prince
You are the one (x2)

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

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

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one (x5)

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

Me and you baby,
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
you are the one (x9)
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

[9] In The Cold Light Of The Morning

In the cold light of morning while everyone is yawning,
you’re high
In the cold light of morning the party gets boring,
you're high
As your skin starts a scratchin', wave yesterdays actions goodbye

Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You’re high
In the cold light

In the cold light of morning while everyone’s yawning
You’re high
In the cold light of morning
You’re drunk sick from whoring and lie
Staring back from the mirror's
A face that you don’t recognise
It’s a loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo’s disguise
In the cold light

Tomorrow (x3)

As your skin starts a scratchin'
And wave yesterdays action goodbye

Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
You’re high
In the cold light of day

Tomorrow’s only a kettle
Whistle (x8)
Away

In the cold light of day

[10] I'll Be Yours

I'll be your water bathing you clean
The liquid peace
I'll be your ether you'll breathe me in
You won't release
Well I've seen you suffer, I've seen you cry the whole night through
So I'll be your water bathing you clean
Liquid blue

I'll be your father, I'll be your mother,
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours x2

I'll be your liquor bathing your soul
Juice that's pure
And I'll be your anchor you'll never leave
Shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer, I've seen you cry for days and days
So I'll be your liquor, demons will drown
And float away

I'll be your father, I'll be your mother,
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours x3
Yours...

[11] The Bitter End

Since we're feeling so anesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We're running out of alibi's
On the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter day

See you at the bitter end (x2)

Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end (x4)

From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)

Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)

Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
Heard a cry
Six feet down
In six weeks' time
The mess you left will end
See you at the bitter end

[12] Space Monkey

Space monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
shooting the moon, playing dominoes in drag
An increase in population of a hundred percent

Space monkey in the place to be
with a chemical peel and a picture of Mary
out on a limb in the carnival of me
raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We're sown together
she’s born to mesmerise
beside, astride her
I die inside her

Space monkey in the place to be
a mass of contradictions in a golden frame
raising the roof in a calamity way
completely meretricious of a poke in the eye

Space monkey in the place to be
talk of the town with a Colombian rock
out on a limb in the carnival of me
raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sown together
she’s born to mesmerise
beside, astride her
I die inside her
its far too sacred
don’t ever fake it
and don’t and don’t and don’t let me down

Like you let me down before (x2)

Space monkey in the place to be
with some free-association and a hole in her head
out on a limb in the carnival of me
raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sown together
she’s born to mesmerise
beside, astride her
I die inside her
it's far too sacred
don’t ever fake it
and don’t and don’t and don’t let me down

Like you let me down before (x4)

[13] Lady Of The Flowers

Excuse 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

Excuse me, I apologize
she's got vacum cleaner eyes
suck you in
she's got magazines, filled with hair pies
Excuse 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

Excuse 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

[14] Leni

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

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

[15] Commercial For Levi

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

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

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

You're the one who's always choking trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality
Valium and sherry wine
Coke and ecstasy
You're gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die x 4

[16] Something Rotten

It seems we're here I
Miss you something rotten
The stinks are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten
Down here
Down here it's clear that your uncut
Don't fear
Don't fear, keep all this forgotten
Face down (x2)
Face down, I miss you something rotten
Face down
Face down, this crown is broken rotten

Down here, down here, I know its not, it's all forgotten
Down here, down here, face down, I miss you something rotten
Down here, down here, it stinks, it stinks of something rotten
Don't fear, don't fear, keep all this forgotten
There's something rotten down here (x4)
