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.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Lyrics

Placebo

Sweetness
Sweetness I was only joking when I said
Id like to smash every tooth in your head.
Oh sweetness
Sweetness I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.
And now I know how joan of arc felt
Now I know how joan of arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her discman started to melt
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again
And Ive got no right to take my place
In the human race
Oh
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again
And Ive got no right to take my place
In the human race
And now I know how joan of arc felt
Now I know how joan of arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her megadrive started to melt
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again
And Ive got no right to take my place
In the human race
Oh
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da bigmouth strikes again
And Ive got no right to take my place
In the human race.
