Slackerbitch Lyrics
I really love this song, despite the fact that it is a bit disturbing..by disturbing, I mean a bit harsh. when I first heard this song I half smiled and half gasped when it got to the first chorus...."slackerbitch, fag-hag whore, looks real cute but lips are sore"?? my god, I thought, someone's angry. I mean, of course I have heard more shocking stuff than that in music and elsewhere, but it was the delivery of the lyrics that got me..but thats whats so great about this song. like any really good song (in my book at least) this song is an emotional release that doesn't hold back, but whats special about this is, it isn't hardcore...and it certainly isn't "emo" either (two genres that pride themselves on unfettered emotional release).its definately unique...Malko is pissed, but he's still vulnerable..that comes through in a lot of placebo's stuff...thats what keeps the song from being just a "fuck you girlie you're a slut" type of hard-ass thing..his nasal half scream half moan is abrasive at first, but then its one of the most beautiful things you've ever heard...the song is art, the song relates his anger to me..I feel like this girl has done me wrong....., but it isn't full blown rage..its mixed with a little questioning ...I don't pretend to know the details of the story behind it, but I don't have to know the specifics to like this song... good song.
a faghag is actually a woman who hangs around with gay men alot.....not a woman who goes out with yet-to-be gay men.
I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought this was Brian talking about himself. Like, just an angry song to himself or something. Like the angry part says all the hateful shit, but he's rationalizing it with like... he didn't mean it. Inner turmoil and all that. And the "slackerbitch, faghag, etc." is what echoes in his brain- the things people might have called him in his life.
I don't know, it just always came across angsty like that to me.
Anyway, I fucking love this song... Placebo <3
I think you're right. Most of Placebo's songs are about Brian himself from the point of view of somebody else, like Commercial for Levi.

I love this song. It seems to me that he's apologising to somebody..but failing to do so an insulting them instead..hense the repation of "I didn't mean it".
this song is harsh indeed, but I think that's why I'm so attracted to it.
It sounds like someone who abuses and insults some person (maybe someone they love) again and again and keeps apologising emptily. 'I just wanted to get laid' demonstrates complete selfishness.
Almost like he slept with someone and then told them they were a slut and then does it over and over and over again
Deadcjunkie, I agree with a twist. I don't think this guy just sleeps with the girl, I think he is in a long term relationship, because he does way too much appologising for some slut. It's his girlfriend he is always abusing her(atleast verbally), she decides to leave(implied), he wants her back (half the time he does, the other half he doesn't) and appologises (when he does), she always comes back for more. The dude is bipolar, no doubt. Happy one min, angry the next. Pushing her away, pulling her back!
