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.

Haemoglobin Lyrics

Placebo

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence
Jesus looking down on me
Im prepared for one big silence
Howd I ever end up here
Must be through some lack of kindness
And it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
At the time they cut me free
I was brimming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science
Howd I ever end up here
Reaching strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground, go
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground
As they drag me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
Theories of conspiracy
The whole world wants my disappearance
Ill go fighting nail and teeth
Youve never seen such perseverance
Gonna make you scared of me
cause haemoglobin is the key
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground, go
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground, go
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground, go
Now my feet dont touch the ground
Now my feet dont touch the ground, go.
