This was the first track that the world heard from the record, after premiering on Zane Lowe’s BBC radio show in March of 2009. Placebo then offered it as a free download on their official site. It isn’t a single, and no video was shot.
The song encapsulates the push and pull, and tension, the band...
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
