Bigmouth Strikes Again lyrics:

Sweetness
Sweetness I was only joking when I said
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head
Oh sweetness
Sweetness I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her discman started to melt

[Chorus]
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race
Oh
Bigmouth la da dum da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her megadrive started to melt

[Chorus]

As a person who's a massive fan of both Placebo and The Smiths, this is heaven. Brian's voice dominate the song like his own.

[Cancus]

It's mad how different the vibe of the song is when sung by placebo. I love them

[SiansCraftyCorner]

I heard this for the very first time as the B side to Nancy Boy when I was 14. I am 32 now and I still fall in love with this band now, the same way I did back then. How many bands can anyone say that about after 20 odd years? <3

Guys, IT'S A COVER, it doesn't have to be exactly like the original

[SoBayK]

This version, the tone and tenor, most perfectly matches the lyrics along with the thrashy breakdown.
This homage made me a Morresey fan.

[Davidwv]

Placebo always manages to make a song more intense and dramatic. This version is so Placebo-esque that you almost can’t compare it to the original

[GirlWhoPlayedGo]

Of all the covers Placebo did, this one may be the best imo

[dawncooper]

big smiths fan. also big placebo fan. great cover!!

[psychedahlia]

i like how this version changes "walkman" to "discman" and "hearing aid" to "Mega Drive", which i had to google but apparently is what the sega genesis was called outside of north america

[mdicated]

To all the smiths fanboys, johnny marr approved this cover. He was asked if there are any good smiths covers and this one came to mind.

[TheRealNCYank]

I love how they update the devices that start to melt based on when the song is sung.

[roger]

I love how he changed walkman to discman

[JelenaW]

I love the garage sound of this cover <3

[nks]

Really good cover of my favourite band. Also Radiohead’s version of headmasters ritual is brilliant too

[placebo_yue]

this is actually one of the handful songs that introduced me to placebo, along with slackerbitch, miss moneypenny, special K, this picture and a few more. I'm glad i found them that way, i don't think hearing "sleeping with ghosts" (album) would've had the same impact on me

[scottagamer]

I like the Smiths! And i like Placebo too!

[daynasimpson]

heard this way before the smiths, and I recently started listening to them, glad I was recommended them

[heatherdurds]

it's a smiths song but THIS is placebo.

[garytaylor]

This sounds awesome absolutely class I love it loud that bass is sick and vocals wow just wow brilliant 🇬🇧🇬🇧placebo excellent 👍

[entersandman]
