PLACEBO


01 - COME HOME

Stuck between the do or die , I feel emaciated.
Hard to breath 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 and Gin , it feels like brathing 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 yersterday.

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 scence is deatd , 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 ,


02 - 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 future.
Pull the lever , break the fever and say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started do decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way.

One fluid gesture , like stepping back in Time.
Trapped in amber , petrifield and still not satistfied.

Airs and social graces , elocution so divine.
I´ll stick to my needle and my favourite waste of Time.
Both spineless and sublime.


03 - 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 ,
None of you can make the grade ,


04 - 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 the blind , lost without a clue.
Thought I was getting carrat gold and what I got was you.
Stuck inside the circuments , lonely at the top,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.
Shoulder toes and knees , I´m 36 degrees.
Shoulder toes and knees , I´m 36 degrees.
Shoulder toes and knees , I´m 36 degrees.
Shoulder toes and knees , I´m 36 degrees.


05 - 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 IQ ,
Hang on , Hang on ,
To your IQ , To your IQ ,

I´m lonely.

Every morning , my eyes will open wide.
I gotta get high , before I got outside.
Roll another , for breakfast.
burning clouds around and in my solar plexus.

Hang on , Hang on ,
To your IQ , To your IQ ,
Hang on , Hang on ,
To your IQ , To your IQ ,

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 too at all.

Hang on , Hang on ,
To your IQ , To your IQ ,
Hang on , Hang on ,
To your IQ , To your IQ ,

I´m Lonely.


06 - NANCY BOY

Alcoholic kind of mood , lose my clothes , lose my lube.
Crusing for a piece of fun , looking out for number one.
Different partner every night , so narcotic outta sight.
What a gas , what a beutiful ass.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal ,
Got the muse in my Hed 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 botton ,
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 make up in his room ,
does 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 role reversal ,
Got the muse in my Head she´s universal.
Spinnin me round she´s coming over me.


07 - 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 attrtion.
I know , it´s asking for your benediction.
I know , I know.

I know , the past will catch you up as 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.


08 - BRUISE PRISTINE

The means are right for taking , fade to grey.
trying to be ruthless , in the face of beuty.
In this matrix , it´s plain to see.
It´s eighter you or me.

Bruise Pristine , serene.
We were born to lose.

Cast aline with a velvelt glove.
Reading like an open book , in the hands of Love.
In this matrix , it´s plain to see.
Tt´s eighter you or me.

Bruise pristine , seren.
we were born to lose.

Means are right for taking , fade to grey.

09 - LADY OF THE FLOWERS

scuse me , I apologize.
he liekes your attitude , he tries it on for size.
He spends the afternoon , between your thigs.
How´s that for gratitude , I apologize.

It seemed to last for hours.
It seemd to last for days.
This Lady of the 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 flower and her hypnotic 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.
