Battle For The Sun lyrics:
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, pate
[Chorus]
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 if you, you, you, you
You are a cheap and nasty fake
Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn't break
Break, break, break, break, break, break, break
[Chorus]
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

Been around since there first album 'Placebo' in 1996. I have followed this amazing band since then. I am still in love with them today (2023) as i was back then, when i was teenager. Today i am a father and husband. But when i have the time to listen to any kind of my music from back then, the first thing i put on, is Placebo, ALWAYS. I could never afford to buy a ticket to watch them live, even though it is my biggest wish. But still, i have so much love towards this band. Thank you for the music and the lyrics guys!

[@diogeneslantern18]

His name is Steve Forrest. When he replaced long time drummer Steve Hewitt there was quite a bit of acrimony amongst Placebo fans. Incidentally, Steve Hewitt wasn't the original drummer either - he replaced Robert Schultzberg. It would seem that Placebo is bad luck for drummers. :)

[@NeonBattery14]

I love the singer's voice...he has that kind of voice that is just timeless....

I accidently came across this group when i wanted to study the placebo affect and low and behold , i didnt know there was a band with that name.this was the first video i saw of thiers, then i got hooked. great rock band.

[@MrPhilosopher17]

In a really weird way, I think the drummer is the epitome of "Battle for the Sun" it shows that he is the bones you couldn't break. It shows that he will brush off all the dirt. He looks aggressive, confident, focused, but most importantly determined.
