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.

Days Before You Came Lyrics

Placebo

Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Tales that changed their name
And a hoard of plenty
Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine didnt start to hide me
Wont you join me now?
Babys looking torn and afraid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Wont you join me now?
Babys looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade.
Days before you came
It always seemed enticing to be naked and profane
There is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightening
Each day a brand new game
Each tourniquet colliding
Do what you anyway x4
Wont you join me now?
Babys looking torn and afraid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Wont you join me now?
Babys looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
Do what you anyway x 4
