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.

Hang on to Your Iq Lyrics

Placebo

Chinese masseuse, comes between us
Talks in haikus, plastic venus.
Got a headrush, in her pocket
Two rubbers two lubes, and a silver rocket
Hang on, hang on
To your iq, to your id
Hang on, hang on
To your iq, to your id
Im lonely
Every morning, my eyes will open wide
I gotta get high, before I go outside.
Roll another, for breakfast
Burning clouds around, and in my solar plexus.
Hang on, hang on
To your iq, to your id
Hang on, hang on
To your iq, to your id
Im lonely
Legs eleven, makes me stay up late
Two fat ladies on my back, and now its 88.
Im a fool, whose tool is small
Its so miniscule, its no tool at all.
Hang on, hang on
To your iq, to your id
Hang on, hang on
Im lonely
Oh.
