6 years ago it was my favourite song. I used to listen to it thousands of times. I listened to it on the music player on my way to the university. And on my way from university as well. And I’m not the big fan of Placebo and I agree with many others that there is something awful and ugly in their leader.
“Days Before You Came”
Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that change their name
And a horn of plenty
Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine
Couldn’t start to hide me
Won’t you join me now
Baby’s looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won’t you join me now
Baby’s looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
to be naked and profane
there is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding
Didn’t what you anyway [x4]
Won’t you join me now
Baby’s looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won’t you join me now
Baby’s looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Days before you came [repeat]
