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

Come on Balthazaa I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
Cos that's wrong and I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong I've been waiting far too long
For you to be...be...be...be...be mine... for you to be mine...be mine...for you you to be mine.
And it't worong, I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong I've been waiting far to long
For you to be...be...be...be

All the centerfolds that you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centerfolds that you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be...be mine
So be..be mine
