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.

Eyesight to The Blind Lyrics

Placebo

You dont know me, and you never hold me
Like your little piece on the side.
My mother told me, that youre never lonely
When youre laughing all the time.
Inside out and outside in
You bring eyesight to the blind.
Crying is a crime.
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.
You dont know me, and you never hold me
Like your little boy in blue.
My father told me, that youre always lonely
When theyre all laughing at you.
Inside out and outside in
You bring jesus to the jew.
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.
Slowing down the metronome
Slowing down.
You dont know me, and you never hold me
Like your little piece on the side.
Inside out and outside in
You bring eyesight to the blind.
