Placebo

Who?
Placebo write terrific, original witty songs with messy lyrics and gritty themes. They have their own unique sound and are probably my favourite band in the known universe.



Listen

Lyrics

Kind of buzz that lasts for days
had some help from insect ways
comes across all shy and coy
just another nancy boy.
Nancy Boy
