Every You Every Me - Without You I'm Nothing
(Placebo - 1998)
Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My hearts a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love, a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come.
Too much poison come undone
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me
Every me and every you,
Every me, me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me
Every me and every you
Every me, me (x4)

Space Monkey - Meds
(Placebo - 2006)
A Space Monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
She and the unplanned Dominos in drag
Increasing population of 100%
Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical appeal
And a picture of me
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
We’re sewn together
She’s born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her
A Space Monkey in the place to be
A massive contradiction in a bull in the frame
Raising everything the humanity way
Completely mal nutritious and a poke in the eye
A Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Peruvian rock
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
We’re sewn together
She’s born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her
It’s far too sacred
Don’t ever fake it
And don’t and don’t and don’t let me down
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Space monkey in the place to be
With some free association and a hole in her head
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
We’re sewn together
She’s born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her
It’s far too sacred
Don’t let her fake it
And don’t and don’t and don’t let me down
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Sleeping With Ghosts - Sleeping With Ghosts
(Placebo - 2003)
The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the lines
Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die
This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies
Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die...
Soulmates never die (x4).

Special K - Black Market Music
(Placebo - 2000)
Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping ... not for free
I fall down ... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles heel
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping ... not for free
I fall down ... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity

Song To Say Goodbye - Meds
(Placebo - 2006)
Note: The first single of the album, to be released everywhere other than the UK on March 6th 2006. I believe that there may be two different versions of this floating around, with different orders for the lyrics, so I've put the lyrics here for the version that I have.
You are one of God's mistakes
You crying, tragic waste of skin
I'm well aware of how it aches
And you still won't let me in
Now I'm breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I don't like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry
My, oh my
You were mother nature's son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sordid twist of fate
Now I'm trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
'Cause if I don't we'll both end up
With just your song to say goodbye
My, oh my
A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say -
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry
It's a song to say goodbye.

Broken Promise - Meds
(Placebo - 2006)
Note: The second duet of the album, this time with Michael Stipe of REM. The lyrics sung by him are a bit mumbly and indecipherable, so I'm not sure they're 100% right.
They rise above this
They cry about this
As we live and learn
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you’re singing
I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll cry about this
And hide my cuckled eyes
As you come off all concerned
And I’ll find no solace
In your poor apology
In your regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing
I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn
And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
And I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn
A broken promise
You were not honest
I’ll bide my time
I’ll wait my turn
