Song: 36 degrees
By: Placebo
Album: Placebo

One of the best Placebo songs (in my opinion), I don't remember if it was the 3th or 4th. single 
from their debut album. There are 2 guitars on the song, when Placebo plays it live, Brian plays
/Guitar2/ while Stefan plays /Guitar1/, a bass player (Bill) plays on the side of the stage.

"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"

||2nd. VERSE||

"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."
