Bumped into an old work friend today who I had not seen in about 10 years. Got me thinking about bands that used to get played on the radio that was left on when I worked on a 'helpline', and who was big around that time. But, this track, by a band who had major exposure around that time, brings me back into the now. Nice top, Brian, you been in my wardrobe?
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide. I'll take it by your side. Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide. I'll take it by your side. Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies. I'll take it by your side. Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side.

I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all
I... Take the plan, spin it sideways. I... Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all.

Is that David Bowie?

Yes it is. The single came from this album http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_You_I%27m_Nothing_%28Placebo_album%29
I think it was the single version that had Bowie on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_You_I%27m_Nothing_%28Placebo_song%29

The most heart-breaking Placebo song yet. It gives me chills every single time. I can't even listen to it casually...and it's timeless. Cheers!

...definitely a fave... and Sir Bowie proves once again, that he also has excellent taste...

Love Placebo. And Brian's dress. You should read TroyPower's take on androgynous pop stars here: http://mog.com/TroyPowers/blog_post/163334 Bill K has a long way to go to catch up with Brian M! But I'm sure they'd be willing to trade wardrobe tips with you.

Of course, dar. I didn't check Brian out properly, yes it's a dress, not a top. I stand corrected. Can you see what boots he's wearing? snigger. I love androgyny, really gets you to question your gender boundaries (if you have any). I can't see a problem with girls looking like guys looking like girls.... But then I'm well comfortable with my sexuality. Maybe I'm just a big old genderqueer. LOL.
