I know a lot of people don't like this song, but I really do like it. It's a great song and the lyrics are wonderful ..


.It's in the water baby, it's in the pills that pick you up, it's in the water baby, it's in the special way we fuck..
[though in one remix [I guess] 'fuck' was replaced with 'aaah' and it sounded quite stupid.. ]

..Bite the hand that feeds, tap the vein that bleeds, down on my bended knees. I break the back of love for you..




I love it.

I agree with you, eniidnu!
That's one of my fav songs from the album. And I like when they perform it live. And i think it would be a good song for the single. It sound like hit, I guess. Why I think so? Ok. Everything is easy. When I show some song for my friends and they like it - then this song can be popular among people. Because they aren't placebo fans. And they don't think to much about such thing as lyrics, music etc. They don't take those songs so deep as we are. Ansd when people say that song is strange or missunderstanteble - it won't be a hit, but only for special public.

Nevertheless that's great song

I agree with you two. I looooove this song! It’s full of energy, it always makes me want to dance or jump or something… . And I love the lyrics too "It’s in the water baby, It’s between you and me….down on my bended knees…." And sometimes live sounds even better! I love the one at rock an ring .

I love it, too! I also think it could be a single and have a video.
The lyrics are wonderful and I love the one I break the back of love for you..., which is repeated.
My mum chose it for my mobile phone; when they call me, Post Blue is playing
It is great during lives and it has lots of energy, even Brian dances!!

And something . eniidnu, do you think that you can upload the version you're talking about? I'm very interested!!

I don't have the full version. I looked for the download link in placebo.no.lv, but it said that the file has expired.
I can give you only this fragment [it's Dave Bascome Mix]--> http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B000LW7UR8001006/103-2578200-7975002

Ok, thanks. But this mix....ridiculous, isn't it?

Indeed, I find it absolutely stupid.
I just can't stand that 'aaaaahh'. Even I can make a better one.

I like the "aaah".

Oh, come on!

What?

I just don't believe you like that remix.

Aah, ok.

i like the "ahh" too, but i like the original version more.

It's a nice "aaah",but still...I love the original song.It's energic,suggestive and full of live.It's just "aaah"

What's the difference between the original and this one, besides the fact it was used an "aah" for censorship? - you seem to not like it.

Well that’s the only difference, but I just like more the original version with “it’s in the special way we fuck”. The censorship seems kind of silly. Anyone has the remix?

I agree.

It's not silly. It's not like they are doing it on purpose. Maybe this song has to appear on television or radio or has to be presented in other places, where the "fuck" isn't allowed. It's just a simple re-edition (if i may call it that)
You're taking it too serious

I'm not taking it too serious, but it just made me laugh when I heard it for the first time, so silly I found it.

And, btw, it's from Meds US version, I guess.

Yeah, I agree with eniidnu, that’s what happened the first time I heard the remix. It sounded silly. Of course I understand why they had to replace the word "fuck". And as I sad I like the “aah”, and I’ve requested the song if anyone has it.

I've never heard this remix. Bup I think, lepcabo is right. You know, I find it stupid to replace words in songs. Just remember Slave to the wage. They replaced "bitch" to "witch". I don't like such moments. It's too conservative. Our society just try to make people think that they are so well-bred. But it's just a manipulation with our minds. They think something would be changed, if they make the band to put this away. maybe that's way I like Placebo songs live so much, because Bri doesn't restrain himself. I like it

True I like that too for the same exact reason.

@ MarG Ok, so maybe it’s late and I've spent too much time analyzing a speech for school, but aren’t you contradicting yourself a little? I mean you say that you agree with lepcabo, but then you say that you find it stupid to replace song lyrics. nevermind.
And I agree with you about the rest, one of the things I like about placebo it’s that they don't restrain themselves.

Edit: This is the most discussed song on the forum!

I second that
