The Swelling Goes Down.

«Leave me dreaming on the bed
see you right back here tomorrow
for the next round».

(da Pierrot The Clown, 'Meds', Placebo, 2006)

Chiamata alle armi

«The call to arms was never true,
time to imbibe here's to you.
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue
of drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we’re through
more psychedelic yuppie flu.
It’s such a silly thing to do,
now we’re stuck on rewind».

(da Follow The Cops Back Home, 'Meds', Placebo, 2006)

Arrivederci, per sempre.

«Before our innocence was lost,
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky sevens
and the voice that made me cry».

(da Song to Say Goodbye, 'Meds', Placebo, 2006)

Bilanci

«And that's the end and that's the start of it.
That's the whole and that's the part of it.
That's the high and that's the heart of it.
That's the long and that's the short of it.
That's the best and that's the test in it.
That's the doubt, the doubt, the trust in it.
That's the sight and that's the sound of it.
That's the gift and that's the trick in it.

You're the truth not I.»

(da Twenty Years, Placebo, 2004)
