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.

Follow The Cops Back Home Lyrics

Placebo

The call to arms was never true
Time to embody here's to you
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue
Drum machines and landslides
Just one more round before we're through
More psychedelic yuppie flu
It's such a silly thing to do
Now we're stuck on rewind
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses
The call to arms was never true
Let's take a ride and push it through
Suspended in animation blue
Blame it on apartheid
Let's spend the night in Jimmy's shoes
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I'll give you nothing else to do
Now we're stuck on rewind
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses
The call to arms was never true
I'm medicated, how are you?
Let's take a dive swim right through
Sophisticated point of view
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses
