I'll always remember driving an hour from my town to the closest city for the first time alone late at night while listening to this album and particularly this song when I was a teen some 10+ years ago and loving the feel of it.
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 Of drum machines and land slides Just one more round before we're through More psychedelic yuppie flu Its such a silly thing to do And now we're stuck on rewind Let's follow the cops back home Follow the cops back home Lets follow the cops back home And rob their houses The call to arms was never true Lets take a ride and push it through Suspended animation glue Blame it on apartheid Lets spend the night in jimmy choose I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo I'll give you nothing else to do And now we're stuck on rewind Let's follow the cops back home Follow the cops back home Lets follow the cops back home And rob their houses The call to arms was never true I'm medicated how are you? Lets take a dive swim right through Sophisticated points of view Let's follow the cops back home Follow the cops back home Lets follow the cops back home And rob their houses Let's follow the cops back home Follow the cops back home Lets follow the cops back home And rob their houses
Greatest song ever made, performed by the greatest band of all time, sung by the greatest singer of all time. You can talk about Elvis, MJ, Queen and whoever else, as much as you want, but they can't touch Placebo. Their music is timeless, the one blockbuster after the other, this song the greatest of them all - turning the volume up high the soundpicture of this song is just massive, overwhelming. Taste is subjective, of course, but to me they are the greatest. They sure do take their time making the next album though... :(
From Rock Mag: This track was inspired by Iceland. The first time we went there, it was summer, during the 24 hours of sunshine. We calculated that 3% of the population came to our gig, despite it being a very small concert. Nobody lives out there. While we were driving through the countryside to see the volcanoes and the geysers, we didn’t see a single cop. It was so weird! You wonder what people do over there. And two weeks ago I met Sigur Ros. Those guys are 25 and already have got 7-year-old kids. Seeing that, I said, “are you crazy? Is there really so little to do in Iceland?” They replied “yeah, that’s why we get drunk and fuck.” This trip to Iceland inspired us, made us think about what you do when you live in a place like Luxembourg or Iceland where there’s nothing to do. Most of the time, you just go looking for trouble. In the end, this track, like many others on the album, talks about alcohol. You get completely wasted in a bar, you fall on another guy who’s equally pissed, you decide he’s your new best friend and straight away, you go and do stupid things. This particular stupid thing is to follow the cops back home and rob their houses. After having listened to this, if some guy thinks it’s a good idea, then he deserves to get caught. It’s the stupidest thing you could do.
I cannot believe this video is still up, I always loved this so much. one of my all time favorite bands. Their aren't any words that i could use that would even come close to describing how amazing they are.
As far as I know, they wrote this song because they were actually really amazed of the fact that there were almost no cops in iceland. It's supposed to be like a conversation of drunk people and how something stupid may seem the best idea ever when you're under alcohol effects. So following the cops back home and robbing their houses seems to be a great idea when you're drunk. Just Placebo things, I guess :)

Bı kadar saygı yoksunu bu kadar ş2r5fsiz bir insan görmedim tüm zakkum sevdamı sömürdü bu aşşağlık solistleri
They envisaged lockdown life long before we knew what lockdown was
I keep coming back to this. First, because I really love the song, and also because I still can't quite figure out how they engineered it.
ALLAAAAAH
Love this song .I feel it
