I Know

Placebo · Box Set [2009]

I know, you love the song but not the singer

I know, you've got me wrapped around your finger

I know, you want the sin without the sinner

I know

I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know

I know, you cut me loose in contradiction

I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition

I know, it's asking for your benediction

I know

I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know.
