    Lady of the Flowers lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Excuse me, I apologize
    He likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
    He spends the afternoon, between your thighs
    How's that for gratitude, I apologise
    [Chorus]
    It seemed to last for hours
    It seemed to last for days
    This lady of the flowers
    And her hypnotic gaze
    [Verse 2]
    Excuse me, I apologize
    She's got vacuum cleaner eyes
    Suck you in
    She's got magazines, filled with pear pies
    Excuse me, I apologize
    [Chorus]
    [Bridge]
    She wears her tears on her blouse
    Confused and racked with self-doubt
    She stole the keys to my house
    And then she locked herself out
    [Verse 1]
    [Chorus, last line altered]
    It seemed to last for hours
    It seemed to last for days
    This lady of the flowers
    And her electronic haze
    [Bridge]
    She stole the keys to my house
    And then she locked herself out
    She lays me down
    She lays me

    This album is probably one of the best examples on how you can be extremely dynamic and full-sounding with just vocals, one guitar, one bass and drums.

      Lol! I went thru a faze where I would go around to every bed in the house including couches because I could not sleep. So...I put THIS song on repeat many different times. I did with a lot of Placebo songs. I am addicted to Breathe Easy by Jay Aston "Gene loves Jezebel". Now that would be my dream concert: Placebo, Jay's Gene loves Jezebel and Hope Sandoval !

    This is probably the best representation of how my gender dysphoria feels on an internal daily basis. I've been fighting with society and my self view/identity since I was twelve. When I was growing up non binary wasn't a talked about subject and sexuality and gender were inseparable. So I ended up developing a lot of negative coping mechanisms to deal with that level of isolation and misunderstanding.
    Placebo has always been a safe place for that side of myself and I'll always love them for that.

    This song is so beautiful. "Her electronic haze" sounds magical. Not sure what it is supposed to mean, but it sounds exactly like how you see the world when you live with Visual snow syndrome. It's the most precise and the most poetic description of this condition for me.

    Plscebo were the house band of my conscious, a guitar led band of motley characters that were not "safe" or "boring".... A European mash of glam, androgynous narco-rock, bohemian chic and questioning intellect..... A fresh storm against the knuckle dragging, illiterate , laddish posturing of Liam & Noel " let's 'ave it" Gallagher.....

    This is a mix between Blue Oyster Cult and Explosions in the sky. Can't stop listen to it. Went to the library today to borrow Lady in the flowers by Jean Genet. Can't stop thinking about this song since the moment I get up til the moment I fall asleep. So fuckin' awesome. Stay safe, guys.
