PLACEBO PLACEBO PLACEBO

Running Up That Hill

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M66xAPy7El8
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear 'bout the deal I'm making
You, you and me

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts,baby
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter, don't we
You, you and me
You and me won't be unhappy

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

You, you and me
You and me won't be unhappy
C'mon baby c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel c'mon c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
With no problems

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
With no problems




Twenty Years

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDnITiRNRks
There are twenty years to go
twenty ways to know
who will wear
who will wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
the best of all I hope
enjoy the ride
the medicine show

Them's the breaks
before we design our fates
we need to concentrate
on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
the faithful and the low
the best of sorts
the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go
the punchdrunk and the blow
the worst of starts
the mercy hearts (the phone??) <-- no idea

Them's the breaks before we design our fates we need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Them's the breaks before we design our fates but it's you I take 'cause you're the truth, not I

There are twenty years to go a golden age I know but all will pass will end too fast you know

There are twenty years to go and many friends I hope though some may hold the rope some hold the rope

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 highs 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 that's the sound of it that's the gift that's the trick in it

you're the truth, not I

This Picture

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRvRO20kvx8
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described our world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
And watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrate it
For fear of growin' old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinate it
For fear of growin' old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrate it
The fear of growin' old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinate it
The fear of growin' old

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrate it
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinate it
The fear of growing old
You can't stop growing old
