36 Degrees by Placebo

36 Degrees is the third single, taken from Placebo’s self titled debut album, and was released in 1996.

Placebo were my favourite band as a child, and are still one of my favourites now. 36 Degrees was actually released the year I was born.

Lyrics

We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box
I’ve never been an extrovert, but I’m still breathing

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it’s what I’m afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it’s what I’m afraid of)

With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top
I’ve always been an introvert
Happily bleeding

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it’s what I’m afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it’s what I’m afraid of)

4 7 2 3 9 8 5 – I gotta breathe to stay alive
And 1 4 2 9 7 8 – feels like I’m gonna suffocate
14 16 22 – this skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees, I’m 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees,I’m 36 degrees
Shoulder toes and knees, I’m 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees, I’m 36 degrees
Shoulder toes and knees, I’m 36 degrees
Shoulder toes and knees, I’m 36 degrees
