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.

One of a Kind Lyrics

Placebo

On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos on top of the world is where I'm from
Your lack of class is where I was
Keeping quiet playing dumb
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos the back of the class is where I'm from
And I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am
I'm in a race that's killing time
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos I'm in a race and I'm doing fine
Thank you
Two of a kind and no-one knows
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos one of a kind is all I own
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am
Out of the blue and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the blue and into the void
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am
On top of the world you get nothing done.
