Placebo are an alternative rock band consisting of Brian Molko (vocals, guitar), Stefan Olsdal (bass) and Steve Hewitt (drums). The band was founded when former Luxembourg schoolmates, who never actually spoke to eachother, Brian Molkoand Stefan Olsdalmet by accident at South Kensington tube station in 1994. Molko invited Olsdal to one of his gigs and Olsdal was impressed by Molko's vocals so they agreed on forming a band. While briefly known as Ashtray Heart, the band quickly settled on the name Placebo, by the drug that doesn't actually work. The band could not decide on a drummer at first with Steve Hewitt (drums) and Robert Schultzberg alternating on the spot.

Placebo

Any means in your horizon
Heaven in a tourniquet
The after life to keep your eyes on
Bitter pill you take you take today
With expert levitation forward,
Polished to the nth degree,
It takes its smile from every children,
You take the beating.
Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two,
We gamble to be born again
You know I never wanted to
With expert levitation forward,
Polished to the nth degree,
It takes its smile from every children,
You take the beating.
The light divining,
The light defining,
The light divining,
The light dividing.
Dont let me down,
Let me-he,
Let me down,
Dont let me,
Dont let me down,
Let me-he,
Let me down,
Let me. <repeat once>
The light divining,
The light defining,
The light divining,
The light deviding.
