Placebo, "Battle For The Sun"
(2009)

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun
And I, I, I won't stop until I'm done, done, done
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
You, you, you, you, you, are a black and heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight
And I, I, I, I, I, will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate

Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun
'Cause I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun
No fun
You, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn't break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break

Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover
Dream brother, my killer, my lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun


So within a day of this song being released, everyone was messaging me all "So... like... it's gay, right? Should that be on Queerics? Uh..." So I think, despite the general opinion of "eh," it's gotta go up so I can stop talking about how I feel about it.
