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.

Miss Moneypenny Lyrics

Placebo

Penance for his sin, he locked it in for just a little while
Lubricating creams, sanitaries would only cramp his style
Its a dirty job but shooting guns just makes you horny
Wants to spill his seed on guaranteed, service with a smile.
Miss moneypenny
Miss moneypenny
Oh
Miss moneypenny
Miss moneypenny
Oh
Pitter patter of the eyelid on the first roll of the dice
Feel the atmosphere, its gently laced with nicotine and spice
Its a long walk home, the entrance of the night is scary
Only trouble is, he never learned to shoot the same gun twice
Miss moneypenny
Miss moneypenny
Oh
Miss moneypenny
Miss moneypenny
Oh
Every job he saves the girl
Martini, mobile phone
Bastards getting in his way
Theyre all pushing daisies
All you need to make a movie is a gun and a girl
0898 007 [repeat]
