Sometimes I Don't Mind
Placebo · Other Songs - Placebo
something there that lights a spark inside of me
And it makes me want to sing Makes me forget
everything There's something there inside your
eyes Lets me know you'd never lie You fill me
up and I know what you need Do you know what you
mean to me?
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels
like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never
talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't
mind
There's something strange, I can't get mad
Even when you're being bad - just look at me, and
I forget everything
I try but I can't be mean
You sit by me and I scratch your back
You lick my hands then I get a rash, but that's
okay
Because we, we are a team
You make a mess and then I clean
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels
like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never
talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't
mind
There's something with the way you act
Makes me laugh when you chase the cats
You chase 'em around
And when it's close to feeding time, you stare at
me and whine
You won't lay down, you'll hardly sit
I give you a bath when you smell like shit
But you don't mind
And we go out every now and then
And when you're done then we come back in
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels
like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never
talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't
mind
Yeah I don't mind
Yeah I don't mind
Sometimes I Don't Mind
Released by Placebo, 'Sometimes I Don't Mind' stands as a defining track from the band's mid-1990s era, characterized by its driving rhythm section and Brian Molko's emotive vocals. The song exemplifies the post-punk revival sound that Placebo helped pioneer, blending raw energy with melodic sensibilities that resonated deeply with audiences. It reflects the band's ability to craft anthemic tracks that balance aggression with vulnerability, becoming a staple in their extensive catalogue of work. The recording captures the intensity of the period when Placebo were establishing their signature style, influencing a generation of alternative rock musicians who followed. As a key component of their discography, the track remains a powerful representation of the genre's evolution during the late nineties.
