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.

Been Smokin’ Too Long Lyrics

Placebo

yeah, I really, um, I really, I really wanted to kind of like, to capture some kind of like moment, but maybe its better if Im sober...
Wake up in the morning, I look at my clock
Its way past noontime, Im late for work.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me it must be that Ive been smoking
Too long
Go to fix me some breakfast, I aint got no food
Take me a shower, the water dont feel no good.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me must be that Ive been smoking
Too long
I got opium in my chimney, no other life to choose
Nightmares made of hash dreams, the devil in my shoes.
What have I done wrong?
Yeah nothing can go right with me it must be that Ive been smoking
Too long
When Im smoking, smoking, put my worries on a shelf
Try not to think about nothing, dont wanna see myself
What have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me it must be that Ive been smoking
Too long
In this blues Im singing, theres a lesson to be learned
You go round smoking, youre gonna get burned
Fuck me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me must be that Ive been smoking
Too long
Too long.
