Ashtray Heart

Although... on second, or perhaps third, thoughts...

Tomorrow could be a day dedicated to Placebo, circa 1998-2000. And doing art, once I get things cleaned up in the house a bit from all of the cooking today. And do something about the front yard of the house at least.

Somehow Friday and today were just days that disappeared into absolutely nothing. I can't believe Saturday is almost over already. It's like somehow time's been condensed and sieved through the weekend.

But Placebo...

Always close to my girlish heart! Their androgenous feel, guys in makeup (something about a guy who can wear mascara/eye-liner... it's perhaps a Rocky Horror thing), heart-rending lyrics, sad but beautiful, amazing sounds, general affection for them... I guess because when my grandfather died, all that I could listen to for about a fortnight was Without You I'm Nothing. Nothing but that. So thank-you Placebo.

My Sweet Prince
Placebo


Never thought you'd make me perspire

Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed

Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince, you are the one
My sweet prince, you are the one

Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vein

Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X5

Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you baby
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X9
My sweet prince
My sweet prince
