Placebo - Song to say goodbye - Meds 2006

Primeiro tema escrito por Brian Molko na Índia aquando do Tsunami. Foi lá por diversas razões, uma das quais tentar mudar o seu estilo de vida. Queria fazer-se compreender a si mesmo que não queria tornar-se num rock&roll cliché e que o mundo não precisava de outro rock star morto. Levou a guitarra com ele no sentido de restabelecer amizade com esta e escreveu a letra como uma carta para si mesmo.

"The needle and the damage done" - tributo a uma música de Neil Young.

"A way of making clear to myself the path not to take as a human being."

You are one of Gods mistakesYou crying, tragic waste of skinI'm well aware of how it achesAnd you still won't let me inNow I'm breaking down your doorTo try and save your swollen faceThough I don't like you anymoreYou lying, trying waste of spaceBefore our innocence was lostYou were always one of thoseBlessed with lucky sevensAnd a voice that made me cryMy oh myYou were Mother Nature's sonSomeone to whom I could relateYour needle and your damage doneRemains a sordid twist of fateNow I'm trying to wake you upTo pull you from the liquid sky'Cause if I don't we'll both end upWith just your songs to say goodbyeMy oh myA song to say goodbye (x2)A song to sayBefore our innocence was lostYou were always one of thoseBlessed with lucky sevensAnd a voice that made me cry.It's a song to say goodbye (x8)
