Artist: Placebo
Track: Spite & Malice
Lyrics
Revolution, dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Revolution, dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Aces take your time
Queens are left for dead
Jacks can stand in line
And touch themselves instead
Aces take your pity
And keep it warm in bed
Aces take your time
Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet, scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic in a no go zone
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity and looking pretty as fuck
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck
Aces take your time
Draw your final breath
Jacks are feeling fine
They've clubbed themselves to death
Aces take your pity
You sleep with it instead
Aces take your time
You can play your card, I'll hold onto mine
Tied up in the reasons, Ace take your time
Looks turn to lovers, flames into fires
Jack loves his tragedy, Queen her desires
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Wrap me in your trauma and I may just give you mine
Queen take your chances
Ace take your time
Dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe, tonight
Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet, scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic in a no go zone
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity and looking pretty as fuck
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck
Dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe, tonight

Five songs that incorporate genres you wouldn't think could mix.
|
|
I LOVE songs that combine genres, especially ones from opposite ends of the music spectrum that you’d never think could be combined into a good song. I’m sure there are lots of you who share this love! It would also be great if you could put the names of the genres you think are combined next to each song. To start it off, here’s my five:
Ode To Sleep by Twenty One Pilots (rap/electropop/indie pop)
Closer by FKA twigs (chamber chorus/trip-hop)
What A Catch, Donnie by Fall Out Boy (rock/blues/gospel)
A Retinue of Moons/The Infidel is Me by Rasputina (classical/rock/folk/cabaret)
Masterpiece Theatre III by Marianas Trench (music box/electropop/theater/rock)
