JOHNNY & MARY (reprise de Robert Palmer) (single: Taste In men)

Johnny's always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Knows he tires easily.

 

Johnny thinks the world would be right

If it could buy truth from him

Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman

But she made her bed

Even when the chance was slim.

 

Johnny says he's willing to learn

When he decides he's a fool

Johnny says he'll live anywhere

When he ears time to

Mary combs her hair

Says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets

She never knows what to think

She says that he still acts

Like he is being discovered

Scared that he'll be caught

Without a second thought

 

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath

Trying to talk sense to her

Mary says he's lacking a real

Sense of proportion

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily.

 

Johnny's always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Says she should be used to it.

 

 

HOLOCAUST (Reprise d'Alex Chilton du groupe Big Star. Avant de sortir en face B, Placebo jouait déjà cette chanson lors de concerts.) (single: Slave To The Wage)

Your eyes are almost dead, can't get out of bed

And you can't sleep

 

You're sitting down to dress, and you're a mess

You look in the mirror

 

You look in your eyes

Say you realize

 

Your mother's dead, she said

"Don't be afraid"

 

Your mother's dead, you're on your own

She's in her bed

 

They stood on the stairs

Laughing at your errs

 

Everybody goes, leaving those

Who fall behind

 

Everybody goes, as far as they can

They don't just care

 

Everybody goes, leaving those

Who fall behind

 

Everybody goes, as far as they can

They don't just care

 

You're a wasted face, you're a sad-eyed lie

You're a holocaust.

 

 

LENI (single: Slave To The Wage)

I kneel before her, beneath this frozen sky

Beneath her shoulder, beneath her evil eye

She towers over this male who is a fly

My sci-fi lullaby.

 

I kneel before her, beneath this frozen sky

I beg below her, my limbs are paralyzed

She beats me harder than any kind of guy

My sci-fi lullaby.

 

 

BUBBLEGUN (single: Slave To The Wage)

Take this migraine everywhere I go

Take the fast lane everywhere I go

Take this migraine everywhere I go

Someday, gonna take it slow.

 

Take this migraine everywhere I go

Take the fast lane everywhere I go

Take this migraine everywhere I go

Someday, gonna take it slow.

 

I wanna turn you on

Feels like a loaded gun

Spit out your Bubblegun

I wanna... Wanna... (x 2)

 

I wanna turn you on

Feels like a loaded gun

Spit out your Bubblegun

I wanna... I wanna... (x 2)

 

I wanna, I wanna,

I wanna, I wanna cum.

 

LITTLE MO (single: Special K)

In our pain and sinning fall

Accept peace and whine

Going bad and taking all this

It's of each and tide

 

Calling bean and sinning call

Now I'm neat and tight

Gonna crap with naked elders

Sits there cheating high

 

Tonight, Jesus loves you (x4)

We are dead and cynical

Gun of peace in my eye

See the back with naked elders

It's a cheating high

 

But she will back on mainframe

She got crack on cocain

She got crack on seeing

Cheater, cheater...

 

Tonight, Jesus loves you (x7)

Till our death and sinning call

Except she can hide

All those fat and sacred elders

Sister off and bad-eyed

 

She got back on mainframe

She got crack on cocain

She got crack on seeing

Cheater, cheater...

 

Tonight, Jesus loves you (x7)
