Placebo – Julien Lyrics 16 years ago
"Fallen angels in the night
And everyone is far from heaven"
..should be: "...And everyone is barred from heaven"

LOVE this song!!
i love how Brian's opening "The payback is here" and his catchy "slow motion suicide".. I imagine an attempt at suicide to be quick with as little pain as possible, but a "slow motion suicide" implies a prolonged suffering or a slow death that someone is bringing onto themself. I feel this other individual had a caustic nature about them, and now, like freckle93 said, Brian's getting his revenge.

Can someone please explain his use of numbers in this song! like:
"Just one more hit to make it right, But every one turns into seven" and "Now that's it's snowing in your brain, Even ten will not placate you"
I really don't get these parts :(.. Thank you in advance!!

Placebo – The Never-Ending Why Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm unsure about your
"As spiders kissing fly"...

but the next line
"And the tumor becomes a rhyme"
..should be: "And the tumor becomes malign"
which ties in with the theme of the rest of the song. Brian sings about the worst outcomes in his given scenarios..
-an imploding atom
-the downfall of a kingdom
-a tremor becoming an earthquake
-a body found in a lake.. and etc.

I'm not sure but think it's got to do with the maybe accepting the inevitable, instead of searching for answers that don't exist or can't be explained - i.e. the never-ending why. In the chorus I feel he's telling us that time, an infinite continuum independent to us, isn't on our side, and also perhaps it isn't ours for the taking.

Placebo – Devil In The Details Lyrics 16 years ago
Just some corrections ;)

"He's a fucking pantomime"
..I listended to this one a couple of times and it sounded more like:
"He's a fucking pal of mine"

"Let me take you far away
With the devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with the light"
..should be:
"Let me take you for a ride
With the devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with delight"

Placebo – Kitty Litter Lyrics 16 years ago
I've just been listening to the album on their website and firstly can I say WOW! This album is definitely no disappointment after Meds. But yeah, Ive got a couple of lyrical corrections so I'll just post them as I go :P. (Also, thanks for submitting the lyrics btw)

"Nearly start a fire"
..should be: "You really start a fire"

"Makes me start to sigh"
..should be: "Hits from side to side"

"I shiver off my jeans and I'm so unsatisfied
You're all that I require"
..should be:
"Batsheba of my choosing, I'm so unsatisfied
You got what I require"

I also don't think any of the "hearts" in the chorus are meant to be plural. It makes sense to have a single "heart" shared between two people, to emphasize the fragility of their intimacy when the two are "apart".
