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 is a British rock band formed in London in 1994. Known for their dark and atmospheric sound, influenced by post-punk, indie rock, and electronic music, the group's distinctive frontman Brian Molko, with his androgynous look and theatrical performances, is a key element of their identity. Their songs often explore themes of love, loss, addiction, and identity through introspective lyrics and catchy melodies. Notable tracks include "Pure Morning", "Black Hole Sun" (a cover of the Soundgarden song), and "Every You Every Me". Placebo has released nine studio albums, including the acclaimed "Without Shoes" in 2003.
