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.

Bruise Pristine Lyrics

Placebo

The means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, its plain to see
Its either you or me.
Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.
Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book, in the hands of love
In this matrix, its plain to see
Its either you or me.
Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.
? encore? |echoed|
Means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, its plain to see
Its either you or me.
Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.
