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.

Dark Globe Lyrics

Placebo

Oh where are you now
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone
You promised the stone from your heart.
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down
Treading the sand
Please.
Please lift a hand
Im only a person
Whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Wont you miss me?
Wouldnt you miss me at all?
Oh
Oh
Oh
The poppy birds way
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground.
I was half the way down
Treading the sand
Please
Please
Please lift a hand
Im only a person
With eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way
Wont you miss me?
Wouldnt you miss me at all?
Oh
Oh
Oh
