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.

Broken Promise Lyrics

Placebo

They rise above the hills
They cry about this
As we live in hope
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you're singing
I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn
I'll cry about this
And hide my cuckled eyes
As you come off all concerned
And I'll find no solace
In your poor apology
And you'll regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing
I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my turn
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn
And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
And I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn
A broken promise
You were not honest
I'll bide my time
I'll wait my turn
