Pushing thru the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
He said 'earth was really dying'
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
There were boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
Never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
And I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken armfixed
His stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
Well, I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I miss you, you're beautiful
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got
Five years
Placebo è una band britannica di rock alternativo formatasi a Londra nel 1994. Il gruppo è noto per il suo sound dark e atmosferico, influenzato da generi come il post-punk, l'indie rock e la musica elettronica. Il frontman Brian Molko, con il suo look androggino e le sue performance teatrali, è un elemento distintivo del gruppo. Le loro canzoni spesso esplorano temi di amore, perdita, dipendenza e identità, spesso attraverso testi introspettivi e melodie orecchiabili. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Pure Morning", "Black Hole Sun" (cover dei Soundgarden) e "Every You Every Me". Placebo ha pubblicato nove album in studio, tra cui l'acclamato "Without Shoes" del 2003. La band è stata un punto di riferimento per la scena musicale britannica degli anni '90 e 2000, influenzando numerose altre band alternative.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
