Placebo – This Picture Lyrics 17 years ago
"Ashtray girl"? Anyone think this might just be him referring to his previous image, or younger self?"
Exactly what I thought (that and he mentions in a magazine article that it is him).

Brian Molko has spoken many times about seeing his younger self as self-destructive and overly confrontational. And how he felt the need to grow up.

And I like pretentious existentialism as well.

That and yes the James Dean story is a wide spread story about James Dean and Molko mentioned it being the inspiration for the song.

Indochine – Juste Toi Et Moi Lyrics 17 years ago
Rough English translation:

Oh like swans
Like you and me like stars
We stay so pale
Oh like swans
Just you and me a bit too dirty
We have done nothing wrong

And we forget ourselves and we want
Stay in life all tried
Liking rain and black flowers
Staying united without believing much

We are the sign
That you and me are like metal
We stay this pained
We are the sign
You and me are our own arsenal
We are nothing abnormal

And we seduce in the universe
to dare dragons and remain proud
Dive our bodies into black waters
Dream our lives without believing it much

But if it is tomorrow that we seperate
That you go - too far -
If I do not comeback than swear it to me
You will kill me

Just you and me oh oh
like stars oh oh
that reunite oh oh
We kill ourselves oh oh

Oh like swans
Like you and me like stars
We stay so pale
Oh like swans
Just you and me a bit too dirty
We have done nothing wrong

like stars
like stars
like you and me
just you and me ...

Placebo – Burger Queen Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song is a narrative about a character Molko made up who was based upon himself. Apparently when Molko was in school a lot of people thought he was a messed-up, gay, jukie (like the character in the song) which was not quite true. Also I read an interview were he was talking about how while he was in school in England he could not get laid and then he hated everyone he did hook up with for a while- this song and that interview remind me of each other.

R.E.M. – Drive Lyrics 17 years ago
This song has a heavily ironic tone. It is calling into question the notion that if you go into rock and roll nobody will tell you what to do.

Billy Bragg – Sexuality Lyrics 17 years ago
This song makes me laugh. It is dweeby and happy and very straight forward. It has a good, simple message delivered without any subtility.
