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.

Pierrot The Clown Lyrics

Placebo

Leave me dreaming off the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down
And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown
Saw you crashing around the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you say
How your promises ring hollow
As you threw me to the ground
And if you're ever around
In the backstreets or the alleys
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in pity
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown
When I dream, I dream of your lips
When I dream, I dream of your kiss
When I dream, I dream of your bests
Your bests
Your bests
Leave me bleeding on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene in your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down
And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
