Placebo - Follow The Cops Back Home Lyrics






The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here's to you,
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we're through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu,
It's such a silly thing to do,
Now we're stuck on rewind..

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let's take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation in blue,
Blame it on apartheid,

Let's spend the night in Jimmy Choo's,
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
I'll give you nothing else to do,
Now we're stuck on rewind..

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And Rob their houses..

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses..

The call to arms was never true,
I'm medicated..how are you?
Let's take a dive swim right through,
Sophisticated point of view.

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses..

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses..

    I think this is what inspired that scene in the dark knight– the one where the joker escapes the police station in a police car.

  15. J.... D....

  16. L.... P....

    You try to break the mould

  21. S.... B....

    Intro guitar reminds me of "Follow the cops back home" by the band Placebo.

    S.... B....

    Nooooooooooooo, really? Coul it be… Could it be that this IS "Follow the cops back home" by the band Placebo?

    2019 beautiful song

  24. F.... ....

    This track is perfect for the TV show...The Shield.

  25. D.... D....

    Reminds me of a girl I fell in love with and didn't know how to appreciate her. Far too young. 22 years old - she was 33. Those moments together were electric. Got her name tattooed on my back. I'll never forget.

    I hope you're okay now Mary.

    Still think about you 😊

    J.... C....

    My favourite band for the last 11 years and I can't see that changing.

  30. �.... ....

    3:20 I think this is equal to that special part in karma police

  31. L.... S....

    Today I was dreaming that me and Brian are going to his sister's wedding near the woods. He was singing this to me, and I was crying my heart out.

  32. M.... R....

    2018💙

    M.... R....

    Maru Rosa 💙

  33. L.... A....

    That moment when he wrote this about being homeless

  34. R.... M....

    One day, a friend of mine said: '' these rock songs are not God's work, god disapproves this''... and I replied: '' If God doesn't like this, if he doesn't accept this, so I don't like him and don't even want to share a room with him...''

    R.... M....

    I bet Casper the friendly ghost, father Christmas, and the tooth fairy love it though.

  35. M.... T....

    i just robbed..love you,marina p.,for ever back of our home

  36. B.... ....

    Chills run down my spine ...... and hits a emotion I can’t describe.... I am following the cops back home right now , hoping it’s a passing fase in my life , people who listen with their hart and feeling know what i am talking about

    G.... M....

    Gerard.R.E Mollenhorst I've been there bro. It passes. It's hard when it's there though. Don t leave too soon.

    k.... ....

  40. B.... B....

    The way your singing, makes me come alive...

  41. R.... R....

    one those tunes. i have on repeat for hours days thankyou for this track ,its beautiful and really fucking helps .

  42. N.... W....

    This album blew my mind

  43. B.... T....

    It never get old...one of my favorites :)

  44. B.... ....

    I remember buying this album back in 2006, one of the first albums I ever bought, and it initiated a major placebo phase which, i guess, loads of people have experienced... this song was one of the reasons why it was so profound for me, this band and especially this album mean so much to me i can't even talk about it... crazy to think it's been 11 years since, goes to show the timelessness of truly life-changing events

  45. d.... ....

    Melancholy beautiful. High school classrooms ring through. Something so crippling longing. Overcast skies so promising. Eternal youth made palpable.

  46. M.... C....

    i love brian molko

  47. T.... H....

    "I'm medicated, how are you?"

    That verse is so god damn powerful... I get goosebumps everytime.

    Long live placebo.

  48. O.... ....

    Surprised it hasn't been made a football chant yet.

  49. L.... P....

    no comment!!!nubies!!!! [listening 2 this ...since 1998].... bla bla bla.....still the greatest song!!!!

  50. B.... B....

    it's hard to hold back my tears while listening to this... one of the greatest songs ever made

  51. P.... T....

    2:49 That part with the "The call to arms was never true, I'm medicated how are you"
    That is just the best. Honestly I listen to the entire song just for that bit.

    P.... T....

    Peter Timowreef me too bro ;))

    P.... T....

    Peter Timowreef makes me cry every time

    P.... T....

    Can somebody understand meaning of this line to my please?

    P.... T....

    @Miguel Delgado I think it's just about the fact that someone asks him how he is and instead of saying "fine" he says he is real and says he's medicated

  52. R.... R....

    Wow that middle 8th bridge and the lyric octave. Unreal stuff 😍

  53. R.... R....

    The bridge. Oh my. Mind blown

  54. V.... ....

    The call to arms was never true,
    Time to imbibe, here's to you,
    I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
    Drum machines and landslides.

    Just one more round before we're through,
    More psychedelic yuppie flu,

    J.... B....

    Jhostin Breibat Porque es Placebo 😊

  58. i.... ....

    this feels like centerfolds but a lighter version...

  59. E.... 6....

    Fortísimo!!!

  60. S.... G....

    I find Meds and Battle For The Sun as their best, I liked Loud Like Love too but what was he smoking when writing some of those lyrics?

    S.... G....

    loud like love has the worst lyrics... but the rest of their albums are equally as good, but i like their debut the most for some reason

    S.... G....

    Our task is to become awakened multi-dimensional beings...

    S.... G....

    Are you one of the band members? lol

    S.... G....

    ...thus fully merging the fourth and fifth dimensions into the third...

  61. A.... G....

    i have 14 years when a friend buy the Cd... i was a teenager, now an adult and this album and the black market and also the Placebo album came with me since then... i think there are part of mine

    A.... G....

    Alexander Gonzalez ?

  62. K.... ....

    FUCKING BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN

  63. H.... S....

    Placebo are so so so so amazing

  64. c.... m....

    Placebo is a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient.

    c.... m....

    wikipedia really sucks sometimes... that entire first paragraph is pretty misleading...

    c.... m....

    That's false Placebo are even more effective than meds :)

  65. s.... c....

    amazing song....loves molkos voice

  66. E.... R....

    This song is one of the best, but live version is even better!!

  67. h.... ....

    this song is really sad and depresive. i write novels as an author, i m from argentina and i listen placebo since 2005... battle for the sun album and meds specially this song represented a lot of things for me. im trying to live without depression and panic attack and im fobic too. placebo was on the most sad moments of my life. finally i hope feel good someday. on a few years. im on treament of course and if someone live a tragedy in his life or in their lives ask for help. dont stay alone. dont go for the most easy way of this: do something even if u cant do something. ask to everyone who is around you, who care about you and want the good for you. i tryied to end my life 2 times, thanks to me and my doctor i couldnt do that and im live and alive to all my problems. i wish everyone of u can live ur life with happynes. i dont know much about it hehe but well. i think its the point to reach in a day of the life. cheers for everyone

    Anyone else find the drums distracting? Love it apart from that.

    o.... ....

    +optifog Love the drums man.

    o.... ....

    +optifog Him playing on the Ride at the end is great.
    But he rushes it a bit when playing the hihat in the beginning.
    Listened to this album years ago, just listened to this again and was surprised about this.

    Great song though

    o.... ....

    It's perfect as it is
