Placebo

Placebo are an English alternative rock band from London. They were formed in 1994 by singer-guitarist Brian Molko and guitarist/bassist Stefan Olsdal. The band was soon joined by drummer Robert Schultzberg, who was later replaced by Steve Hewitt after conflicts with Molko. Hewitt left the band in October 2007 and was replaced by Steve Forrest in 2008. Placebo are known for their androgynous image and angst-fueled musical content. To date, they have released six studio albums, all of which have reached the top 20 in the UK, and have sold over ten million records worldwide. more »

"Pour l'amitié, 
L'amitié entre hommes et femmes 
Impensable 
Parce que, il y a toujours 
Sous jacent 
Le désir animal" 

This is the story of Melody Nelson 
Apart from me, no one 
Ever took her in his arms 
Under her thumb, ice in the sun 
She was nothing but love, poor Melody Nelson 
Her life was more said than done 
But her days were numbered nil 
Count fourteen falls
Fifteen on call 

A baby tiger was Melody Nelson 
Forever purring in the sun 
Just as dangerous as a child with a gun 
Shooting me down 

Oh my melody, my Melody Nelson 
Still playing hurting games for fun 
As adorable as dumb 
Deaf to the sound 
To what's going down
