Placebo
Note to my future self; I know I had forsaken Placebo on a previous post but before going to that concert I had uploaded all of their albums to my iPod and due to either fate or my laziness, have been listening to their songs still. I have to admit that after repeat listenings you understand the true value of a song and learn to appreciate it. And their songs make great company while shuffling to work on a cold, grey, rainy London morning. But true to my word I also have the latest Muse album in that white miracle of technology, which acts as a gear change when needed.
Anyway, the aim of this post was to crown their achievements with what I think is their finest two lines of verse in their entire catalogue. I remember the first time I heard these two lines; first I didn't make aynything out of them. They sounded too vague and pretentiously avant garde. However, then at a split second their glory hit me. They were, and still, one of the most beatiful lines of poetry I have ever heard.
