Placebo - Happy You're Gone

Breathe me
Everytime you close your eyes
Taste me
Every time you cry
This memory will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

See me
In the eyes of mother's child
Turn away
When you see me walkin' by
Once in a while
This melody will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

I don't even want to try

How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times?
How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

Placebo - Breathe Underwater (Slow)

Here comes another fall from grace

I'm always falling on my face

This attitude that I embrace

For the love I'm trying to replace

I try to kill the song

'Cause the melody's all wrong

And there's a fever coming on

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With the wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride

'Cause there's nobody by my side

It's getting hard to justify

And it won't be long 'til I collide

My weakness is laid bare

As people stop and stare

But it's the last time I swear

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With the wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

I'm coming

I'm coming

I'm coming, coming up for air

Coming up for air

Coming up for air

Placebo - Devil In The Details

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
I got no energy to fight
He is a fucking pantomime
That devil in the details
And he is fixing up to take a bite
I don't see the point in try
I've got the devil in the details
He's gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pantomime the devil in the details
I'm gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
He wrote all the songs I hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay

Let me take you for a ride with the
Devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with the delight
Everything is fine with the devil in the details
We're gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs I hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs I hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details

Placebo - Battle For The Sun

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun
And I, I, I won't stop until I'm done, done, done
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn't hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt

You, you, you, you, you are a black and heavy weight
Weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight
And I, I, I, I, I will not participate pate
Pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate

Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun
'Cause I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun
Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun

No fun if you, you, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake
Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And I, I, I am the bones you couldn't break
Break, break, break, break, break, break, break

Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover

Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun

Placebo - Bright lights

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of givin'.

So I haven't given up,
That all my choices, my good luck...
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,
In a state of empathy.
Find the true and inner me,
Eradicate this schism.

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart.
'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart.
It may be elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that... works.
