Once More With Feeling-Singles

Placebo Once More With Feeling-Singles Lyrics
1.36 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 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,
shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,
shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees.


2.Teenage Angst

Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralyzed.
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.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 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.
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.


4.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.

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.

Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.


5.Pure Morning

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather.


6.You Don't Care About Us

If it's a bad day, you try to suffocate.
Another memory...scarred.
If it's a bad case, then you accelerate,
you're in the getaway...car.

You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us.

If it's a bad case, you're on the rampage.
Another memory...scarred.
You're at the wrong place, you're on the back page,
you're in the getaway...car

You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us...oh oh.
You don't care about us.

It's your age, it's my rage.
It's your age, it's my rage.

You're too complicated, we should separate it.
You're just confiscating, you're exasperating.
This degeneration, mental masturbation.
Think I'll leave it all behind, save this bleeding heart of
mine.

It's a matter of trust.
It's a matter of trust.
It's a matter of trust.
It's a matter of trust.
Because...
You don't care about us...
You don't care about us...
You don't care about us...
You don't care about us.

It's your age, it's my rage.
It's your age, it's my rage.


7.Every You Every Me

Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passion's pent.
My hearts a tart, your body's rent.
My body's broken, yours is spent.

Carve your name into my arm.
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.

Sucker love, a box I choose.
No other box I choose to use.
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse.

In the shape of things to come.
Too much poison come undone.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he.

Sucker love is known to swing.
Prone to cling and waste these things.
Pucker up for heavens sake.
There's never been so much at stake.

I serve my head up on a plate.
It's only comfort, calling late.
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he.

Every me and every you,
Every me...he.

Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.

All alone in space and time.
There's nothing here but what here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he.

Every me and every you,
Every me...he. (x4)


8.Without You I'm Nothing (featuring David Bowie)

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I'll take it by your side.

Tick - tock (x3)
Tick - tick - tick - tick -tick - tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all.

I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.


9.Taste In Men

Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men
Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
I'm killing time on Valentine's
Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men

Come back to me awhile
Change your style again
Come back to me awhile
Change your taste in men
It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men (x 10)


10.Slave To The Wage

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave,
Your worries, and cares goodbye

All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave,
Your worries, and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggies farm
She's a bitch, with broken arms to wave,
Your worries, and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Burn away
Run away (x 8)


11.Special K

(featuring Severe Loren)

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
La la la la la la la la
More than just a light motif
More chaotic, no relief
La la la la la la la la
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
La la la la la la la la
Can the savior be for real ?
Or are you just my seventh seal ?
La la la la la la la la

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back and don't demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity... no escaping gravity
Gravity... no escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll deescribe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles heel
La la la la la la la la
Can the savior be for real ?
Or are you just my seventh seal ?
La la la la la la la la

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back and don't demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity... no escaping gravity
Gravity... no escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity (x 4)


12.Black Eyed

I was never faithful
I was never one to trust

Borderlining schizo
Guaranteed to cause a fuss

I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone

I'm forever black-eyed
The product of a broken home

I was never faithful
I was never one to trust

For a life bi-polar
Forever biting off your nuts, Ouch

I was never grateful
That's why I spent my days alone

I'm forever black-eyed
The product of a broken home
Broken home
Black-eyed (x 8)

I was never faithful
I was never one to trust

For a life that's schizo
Guaranteed to cause a fuss

I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone

I'm forever black-eyed
The product of a broken home
Broken home
Black-eyed (x 8)


13.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 alibis
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day.

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end.

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
See you at the bitter end.

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
From the time we intercepted
Feels more like suicide...
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end.


14.This Picture

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described our world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture ?
What's wrong with this picture ?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken set of four
You know we miss her
We miss her picture.

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old.

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture.

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old.

We had it all
Though we tried
It's gone.
We had it all
Though we tried
It's gone.

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old.

You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old.

You can't stop growin old.


15.Special Needs

Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you'd always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me, special needs.

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior.

Remember me when you clench your movie deal
And think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screens
Remember me, special dreams

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior.

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior.

Remember me, remember me.

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior.

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior.

Remember me, remember me.


16.English Summer Rain

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages.

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by.

Hold your breath and count to ten

Start again, start again.
Hold your breath and count to ten

Start again, start again, start again, start again, start again,

English summer rain

start again, start again, start again.


17.Protège Moi

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, visage gris
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudit qu'on appelle maison

Protect me from what i want (x3)
Protect me, protect me
Protège-moi, protège-moi (x4)

Sommes nous les jouets du destin?
Souviens toi des moments divins
Planants,éclatés au matin
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seul
Perdu les rêves de s'aimer
Le temps où on n'avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seul

Protect me from what I want (protège-moi, protège-moi)(x3)
Protect me, protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège moi de mes désirs
Protège-moi, protège-moi


18.I Do

I want to be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
Where logic cannot intervene
I want to take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I want to fall in love with you
So how do we begin?

I want to be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I want to wear my face like you
Just shade O-Mac and Maybelline
I want to paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I want to fall in love with you
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do

I want to be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll kick back as men flirt with you
To jealousy I'll stain you
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I want to fall in love with you
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do

The question is do you?


19.Twenty Years

There are twenty years to go
Twenty ways to know
Who will wear, who will wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
Best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride, the madison show

Them's the breaks for we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
We're faithful and alone
Best of sorts, the broken heart bestowed

There are twenty years to go
Punch drunk and we blow
The worse the start, the mercy parts the phone

Them's the breaks for we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye
Them's the breaks for we designer fakes
But it's you I'll take 'cause you're the truth not I

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

There are twenty years to go
Many friends at home
Though some may hold the row, some hold the row

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 to 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
