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.

In The Cold Light of Morning Lyrics

Placebo

In cold light of morning while everyone is yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning the party gets all in your pie
As your skin starts to scratch with yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light
In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunk sick from whoring and high
Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don't recognise
It's a loser a sinner a cock and a dildo's disguise
In the cold light
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
As your skin starts to scratch
And wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
You're high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow's only a king
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
whistle
Away
In the cold light of day
