Centrefolds Lyrics
Placebo
Lyrics
Come on Balthazar
I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star
I refuse to let you die
Cause it's wrong
And I've been waiting far too long
And it's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be
Be mine
For you to be mine
Be mine
For you to be mine
And it's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
They've long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be
Be mine
So be
Be mine
Song & Lyrics Facts
Placebo - Centrefolds is a song by British alternative rock band Placebo, released on their eponymous debut album in 1996. The band consists of Brian Molko (vocals, guitar), Stefan Olsdal (bass) and Steve Hewitt (drums).
The genre of the song is alternative rock with punk influences. The lyrics were written by frontman Brian Molko and bassist Stefan Olsdal. The song has become one of Placebo's signature tracks, thanks to its catchy melody and anthemic chorus. It was also featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe. According to Molko, the song is about "the power of youth" and how it can be used as a weapon against those who oppress them. Lyrics such as “We are young, we run green/ Keep our teeth nice and clean” reflect this idea.
