Placebo - Kangaroo Died Lyrics






Well the doctor keeps me waiting
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest
Oh oh oh-oh
Only happens when it's rainin'
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut
Oh oh oh-oh

Feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh
Feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh

It's a nightmare in the alley
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat
Oh oh oh-oh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinnin' like a Cheshire cat
Oh oh oh-oh

And I'm feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh
Feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh

I'm tryin' to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know

Well the priest is at the pulpit
Tellin' me I'm wrong
Tellin' me I'm sickening
Oh oh oh-oh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be
Oh oh

So I'm feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh
Feelin' like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here
Oh oh oh-oh

I'm tryin' to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know
I don't know

Always were the waters
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm not sure I can

    i love this song - why won’t he release these gems- I always felt at the core - that placebo’s magic rested in the unique sound of Brian’s voice and his acoustic Guitar- simple yet heartbreaking-

  4. M.... ....

    to believe him is to forfeit everything i am, and everything i’ll never be.

  5. O.... S....

    Placebo nun en tatlı şarkısı olabilir mi bu

    It seems like this song's full of allegories, as any Placebo song, but to me it means pure sadness

  24. G.... C....

    Awesome old school Molko..."Always were the waters, deep inside your heart...Always wanted to return, to your body,                  But I'm not sure I can......"       Anyone who can write words like this is a lyrical genius imo...........

  27. s.... ....

  28. A.... R....

    his voice sounds so sweet <3

  29. g.... ....

    my favourite song by now. Amazing

  34. b.... ....

    amazing sexy pic @3.56 : D

  35. T.... J....

    @TheRealLibertine It doesn't mean anything. Kangaroo Died simply means a Kangaroo dying. Which is probably why they never brought the song back. The chorus doesn't really mean anything.

  36. S.... S....

    Mr. Brightside and blonde boy was kangaroo too. David was in tree sleeping. My name is girl with anothers note. did I get bite or merely dreaming. No daddy left just butterfly eyes and crowned awakening that brings the listener thorns. Spoon fed tales and the physician forlorn. I can't see for the tears of the sacrifices I make but least the angels all make it home.

  37. T.... ....

    I'm happy to listen to this... :)

  38. 1.... ....

    Does it make me gay that I've heard a Placebo song, since they suck really bad at making music. Wait, no, that doesn't even make sense. Carry on chap.

  39. M.... ....

    where did u find this song??plzz I need to know!!:))

  40. L.... G....

    I dreamed with this song! :D

  41. L.... W....

    does anyone of you know, what the chords are for this song or where you can find them? its just an amazing song, great lyrics and extremely lovely melody (0= Placebo love to all of you (0;

  42. m.... ....

    what a cute voice *__*

  43. s.... ....

    The oldest songs are the best.

  44. h.... ....

    @malade71 I dunno:D I heard that he doesn't like it, he said once: "I wrote this when I was 16 and that's all I have to say about it " ;D

  45. F.... D....

    @haemoglobin12 Really? This song is amazing, cheery atmosphere for lyrics that kill. Pure poetry. Pure genius. Is he really human?

  46. V.... ....

    i cant take my eyes and ears off this video!

  47. h.... s....

    Mr6 mr6 mr6 mr6 ;)

  48. f.... ....

    I think this song is incredibly beautiful. It must be one of the first recordings of Placebo, ever, too. It's sad that this and the old version of "Hang on to Your IQ" aren't included anywere, because they're both really, really good despite their age.

    (also, I never thought Brian's voice was very feminine like everyone said, but here - I would probably had thought so too if I didn't know he was a guy from the start.)

  49. Y.... M....

    debieron grabarla, es una de las mejores rolas de PLACEBO, hermosa y la letra. . . ufff, quién no se ha sentido así?

    Y.... M....

    Yanin Molko de dónde fue esta. canción?

    Y.... M....

    Muy buena canción, es de 1994, inicios de Placebo

  50. F.... D....

    Such a cheery melody for a text that kills. And your video is no less amazing. Nothing is going to save me from this addiiction.

  51. T.... ....

    I find it hard to think since my kangaroo died... *sigh*
    Can any english speaking person tell my why a lot of love songs refer to a kangaroo (e.g. "Kangaroo cry" Blue October)? Is it a way to call one's lover that has nothing to do with animals , like "the apple of my eye" stands for "my favourite" even though it has nothing to do with fruit??

    T.... ....

    idk but kangaroos are beautiful so y not

  52. h.... ....

    Hahaha, I heard he wrote this when he was 16 :) Great song:)

  53. J.... ....

    so many beautiful old Placebo pictures
    and a beautiful song
    make a beautiful vid all together :)))
    I love it :) million thanks

  54. C.... D....

    Placexxx :)
