Placebo, "Lady of the Flowers"
(1996)

'Scuse me, I apologize
He likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon between your thighs
How's that for gratitude?
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze

'Scuse me, I apologize
She's got vacuum cleaner eyes
Suck you in
She's got magazines filled with hair pies
'Scuse me, I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

'Scuse me, I apologize
He likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon between your thighs
How's that for gratitude?
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
Her electronic haze

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

She stole the keys to my house
and then she locked herself out

She lays me down
she lays me


Thanks, Dru and Ellie!
