One of a Kind

playlist position: 119 - Midnight Sun (1.5) #1 (Draft Version #2)
artist: Placebo
album: Meds
track: 11/13
year: 2006
listen on YouTube






On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
'Cause on top of the world is where I'm from

The back of the class is where I was
Keeping quiet, playing dumb
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
'Cause the back of the class is where I'm from

And I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

I'm in a race and it's killing time
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
'Cause I'm in a race and I'm doing fine
Thank you

Two of a kind and no one home
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
'Cause one of a kind is all I own

I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

Out of the womb and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the womb and into the void

I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

On top of the world you get nothing done

Infra-Red

playlist position: 64 - Eclipse (3) #14
artist: Placebo
album: Meds
track number: 2/13
year: 2006
watch on YouTube







Eclipse – Chapter 24 - Edward's perspective
“Don’t go, Victoria,” he murmured in that same hypnotic tone as before. “You’ll never get another
chance like this.”
She showed her teeth and hissed at him, but she seemed unable to move farther away from me.
“You can always run later,” Edward purred. “Plenty of time for that."

One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday

Someone call the ambulance
There's gonna be an accident

I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face-off
I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash and burn your bagger's banquet

Someone call the ambulance
There's gonna be an accident

I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you (find you)

I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you

I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you

I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you
Find you
Find you
Find you

Drag

playlist position:  38 - New Moon alternates (2b) #1
artist: Placebo
album: Meds
track number: 3/13
year: 2006

New Moon – Chapter 3
The last was the picture of Edward and me standing awkwardly side by side. Edward's face was the same as the last, cold and statue-like. But that wasn't the most troubling part of this photograph. The contrast between the two of us was painful. He looked like a god. I looked very average, even for a human, almost shamefully plain. I flipped the picture over with a feeling of disgust.

You're always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I'm drenched to the bone every time
You're the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You're always ahead of the game
While I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You possess every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You're the monkey I got on my back
That tells me to shine
You're always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the rest
When I'm always on time
You got A's on your algebra test
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you're divine
You're always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
