Infra-Red

This is just a pretty awesome track from a very unusual band.

Placebo pretty much always deliver the goods. This one, "Infra-Red" is kinda haunting and scary, all rolled into one. For the most part it seems to be someone's final crusade, to take a final swipe at someone... if it's the last thing they do.

One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
so I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
someone call the ambulance there’s gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you
cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face off
I will be the one to watch you fall
so I came down to crash and burn your beggars banquet
someone call the ambulance there’s gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you
cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you
(I will find you!)

I'm not much one for birthdays... but on the odd occasion, perhaps an unhappy birthday might just work. Then again, isn't that just too much effort?
