Placebo - Nancy Boy Lyrics.

[bringmethehorizon03]

ME.

[BalossinoLuca]

bass here is badass

[rapsucks2471]

It's a male prostitute

[enbcart]

@rapsucks2471 When it's not physically obvious whether a person is male or female.

[mmooooffccoowwss]

@nayen96 what is androgyn?

[EmbraceZombies]

brian has a 'unique' voice... but his voice is still good :)

[limatedman]

The guitar solo at the beggining is awesome

[ryanbabbage]

this and special k my fav placebo tunes. wheres my mind redo is good too

[KarliuCar]

I was 13 and because of this song I learned what "lube" was

[KeyLimePieYeah]

Crap, I forgot, I was gonna use this song title for my username. Oh well.

[mrgeebaby86]

im only 25 and i love this song?

[CliveGains80s]

i think it has lot sigmund freud gender conflicts going on.

[NachoMachoxxx]

if its not a male prostitute...why the 50 pounds reference then?

[ReikoKyata]

@NachoMachoxxx That's what I was thinking... Though of course that could be the price for whatever junk this happy junkie's hooked on :)

[sp00kynek0]

i wonder who "she" is suppossed to be

[prettiestdamnwreck]

The chorus is just magic..

So catchy.

[Zealogical]

17 people took the real drugs and not the placebo!

[cassiusitsover]

I wish I had the balls to be adrogynous.

[SuperGoticgirl]

nossa muito bom

meu namorado adora o placebo

^^

kisses gente

[ReikoKyata]

Nancy boy = gay boy?

I think 'male prostitute' would prove a better approximation xD

[WSWarthog]

@ReikoKyata

It's not prostitution if you're not getting paid for it.

[ReikoKyata]

@WSWarthog Really, I had no idea -__- 50 pounds is a decent fee.

[isvanelul]

@ReikoKyata

nancy boy, in slang is an effeminate man. In this case, a very pretty, effeminate gay man. In no case is a slut or a male prostitute. And if you listen /read the lyrics you'll see that the song is speaking about the androgyny.

[ReikoKyata]

@isvanelul In no case a slut?

"lose my clothes, lose my lube

cruising for a piece of fun

looking out for number one

different partner every night"

Hmm...

[w0bbl3r]

@ReikoKyata Here in the UK (where the band are based), we use nancy boy as another term for gay, so yes, gay boy is just right.

[ReikoKyata]

@w0bbl3r I know, I'm British. English to be exact, and proud, so I know Nancy as one of the most famous prostitutes in literature. That's just the way I see it.

[cassiusitsover]

I sang this to my nephew and he went to sleep! :D

[TheHumanWreckage]

@bluewolfe96 Simon Cowell came on the scene and anyone who knew the magic of auto tune could get a record deal :(

[bluewolfe96]

This is from the days when great bands knew how to write great thought provoking lyrics and be able to construct and craft melodies and actually be able to play instruments properly and sing.......So whats went wrong with music of today?

[vassyatka]

@bluewolfe96 old days r gone. new kids come, they like what they like. they are different. they dont see anything '"wrong" with music-its their music, its their life, and they ll go to the future, cuz they r young. its life.

[bluewolfe96]

@vassyatka

That doesnt relate in any shape or form to my expressed opinions........!

[TheDeathangel1225]

@vassyatka i love this song and im only 18

[easthooligunz]

Bloodpits version is better

[frootloopwarriors]

@easthooligunz

1. Who is that..

2. No its not. :)

[easthooligunz]

@easthooligunz

It's a good band, I just think it is, most likely because it's the first kind of version I heard, plus it's like deeper voice, a little faster, I like this version too, just used to the other haha

[ReplicaSeven]

I'm really sorry but I can't see how this is placebo's best song, or how it's their most played one, it's okay, but they have way better! I'm not going to thumb this one.

[pkgirl55]

@ReplicaSeven umm... fuck you. nuff said.

[sandy17151]

i love his sexy madness

[Nakasoul]

she's coming over me!

[misslovely76]

@iamMcl0ven 

[rarton]

The best song of Placeboo i love it, its so perfect :D

[hofnoan]

finnaly! i know the words hahahaha

[TheBornAnnoyed]

WierdNess RuLessS.

~Peace.

[elsiglo]

I don't care if he fucks fish, he is brilliant, one of the best bands I've ever seen!

[TheJabberwock]

when did geddy lee start a new band?

[yeriw89]

ahahahaha "what a gas.. what a beautiful ass.." it seems a kind of prodigy about masculine nature. Is it the new seventh sense?

The women don't have so much gasoline.XD

Now I have understood. The females can receive only, I mean "yin" but male have both "yin" and "yang." or just say Taoism physics

[WorldOpener]

@yeriw89

It's the standard Western philosophical way to analyse (thus: divide into parts) just about everything like you did.

Taoism is, as Bruce Lee (he could fight, he must be right ;) ) stated "essentially monistic", and it says everything is in flux, therefore you can't "have" (Now I'm quoting you instead of him. Can you fight? ;) ) yin and/or yang but both always "have" you, so to speak.

Thus, females, too, are very well able to both give and receive.

[BackwardsT]

Sounds sort of like a clearer speaking, girly Billy Corgan. I like it.

[ursula812]

@BackwardsT haha i agree!

[billybigmouth]

Placebo's best song

[BleedingHeartsBabyUK]

The 1st Placebo song i heard was Post Blue, and it was on a youtube fan made trailer. At first i thought they were kinda weird, i was like whooa, what's with the american accent thingy-ma-jiggy?

But a few day later i became addicted with Post Blue, then a few days after that i became addicted to Scared of Girls and then I Do and dont even get me started on Bitter End.

It's the 1st time i've heard this song

...I see a new obsession on its way!!! <3

I love Placebo, i've been converted :P

[MyBeautifuLiar]

i love this song.

i love him.

i love him.

i really love him.

i love him.

i love the band.

[alexkevans]

I don't care about his sexuality, I care about his music

[anonimoa1515]

OMG who cares if Brian is gay, android, bi, or what the hell he may be too...?

You're all stupid for worrying so much a about a guy who give a fuck about you's sexual life and not enjoying his amazing song. Oh, people can be so stupid!

[Paradigm6790]

VERY catchy

[MustSmileMore]

I only wanted the lyrics, instead I get this great song D:

[ThatAnimatedIndieKid]

My dad used to know Steve Huiwt :D

[iandros96]

they are just perfect

[sasida2]

i think it's "what a beautiful past,,,"right?

[nayen96]

I love the fact the lyrics are so out there like Brian is saying "I speak my mind and you should too, if you don't like it... I don't give a fuck!" I LOVE BRIAN, Straight, Gay, Bi, transexual, androgyn, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

[schitflowsdwnhil]

@nayen96 Yeah it just sounds like he is talking about being a slut.

[Toros665]

This was one of my least favorite songs of theirs when I first heard it, but it's one of my favorites now.

[BadBloodwillout]

@Toros665 god me too. I was into the Meds and Sleeping with Ghosts albums at first, and when I first heard Nancy Boy I hated it. Now I love it!

[Vampfang1920]

Brain is gay tho... well now... i think o well. just a nother one for me ;P lol

[hellish9977]

Woman, man or modern monkey

Just another happy junkie :) that always makes me smile.

[hellish9977]

Amazing song. Amazing voice. Amazing lyrics. Amazing Band.

[LiiLpRiiNcEsSs]

WOW. im SO addicted to this awesome band. but, is it only my sight, or had brian a higher voice in the early years of placebo than today?

[SlicedAndDiced]

@LiiLpRiiNcEsSs

You may be right. Think about how old this song is and what cigarettes, alcohol and drugs can do to your voice. May be possible.

[RandomersMelttdown13]

No one should care if brian is bisexual, its the music that matters (':

thumbs up if yhou agree ;D

Love placebo ^-^ <3

[suegooner100]

Well said Mr Shwah ... unique, interesting guys ... adore the music... and music is what it's all about. No other band can touch them

[topuphere666]

@PrimarchDarion

Brian Molko isnt it?

[DustfingerNinja]

@PrimarchDarion He's called Brian Molko (:

[elly011]

this is my fav Placebo song because Brain always does something crazy while he's singing it...:]

[KEGLY7]

placebo addicted :)

[LUCKOFTHEIRISH96]

Forget that last comment, I hate to admit it but this song is addictive.

[SiliconBong]

*forgive you LUCKOFTHEIRISH96 :)

Have a nice day : ; extra smiley face with exclamation mark : ) !

NZ yay

[Blakkat101]

@LUCKOFTHEIRISH96 , what's wrong with the video? just asking for suggestions for the future.

[Mothdir]

@Blakkat101 In my opinion there isn't problem, lyrics are right and show on their place. Like!

[distantworld]

I don't really care about the lyrics, or his sexual orientation, but i love the voice and sound :)

[WeeJNumberone]

haha everyone is dissing him for being bi wtf :L You know he's married (to a woman) and has a kid.... You idiots :L

[declanj46]

@WeeJNumberone he was married and yeah he had a kid :) im straight and i think their is nothing wrong with being gay or bi

[dianadias3]

well, the fact that he's bi and that he's not afraid of being who he is makes him so special.

admre him so much.

[camisadokiller666]

He likes men?! That's so hot!!

Why isnt there a 'Love' option on here?!

Btw, there are more Africans that have AIDS than gays/bi's. Gay guys are more likely to get it, but most people I know who are bi use condoms.

Just because a couple of gay celebrities have died from it doesnt mean all of them get it, I know more straight people who have had STI's than gay/bi people.

Move out of the dark ages.

[xplaceboholicx]

great job!! well done...

[donnycar]

i am a nancy boy big gay fecker haha...love this song

[MrShwah]

Reading all of these comments makes me laugh, who cares about his sexual orientation? He has amazing music so chill the fuck out!

[SoGuiGuix]

I think im falling in love with this band....holy shit!

Loooove the song ♥

[aWesomeXX17]

muh fav placebo song ;)

[romisop]

Ty Caz :)

[olgakitz]

i'm waiting for 10.09.10 to see Placebo live!! :DD

[MrBilocobain]

I love this, the lyrics are superb, the music is superb aswell i have to say this songs "gives me a buzz for days" well for me " ME." I hate haters, who needs actions when words speak laters. The album "Meds" is superb aswell, thats what I've been playing for days. As for now I'll listen to this " women, man or monkey" just like me " Just another happy junkie."

[silencedscene]

i was named after this song ;D

[Smadlad]

they are hell of alot better live

[skullrogg]

LOL just noticed the lyrics "lose my clothes, lose my lube" xD almost as good as radiohead's talk show host "I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches" =DDD

[PanoplyCabaret]

@skullrogg HOLY SHIT! Those are actually two of my favourite lyrics from two of my favourite bands XD! I laughed out loud the first time I heard Talk Show Host :):) Thank whatever god there is for both of these kickass bands!!

[skullrogg]

@PanoplyCabaret wow u has good music taste =P u like the offspring? search the kids arn't allright its an amazing son =D

[PanoplyCabaret]

@skullrogg Haha, ya, I like the offspring too XD Did you jack my brain or something? :O

[skullrogg]

@PanoplyCabaret no i just guess you have a great taste of music btw im add u as friend sub meh plz :D

[PanoplyCabaret]

@skullrogg Aha thank you :3 I shall, I shall.

[elisaisabel]

what nancy means really?

[havoc8463]

@elisaisabel nancy is a name, but in english slang 'nancy boy' can refer to a lad who is percieved as being gay

[elisaisabel]

@havoc8463 ohhhhh thanks! (i thought almost like your answer)

[0SpecialNeeds0]

Different but AWESOME! Like everything Placebo had ever done...

[mrk4y]

@0SpecialNeeds0 really true , know placebo only for a month or 2 but like all songs ... they're natural talent !!!!

[0SpecialNeeds0]

I know 'em since summer 2009 but I would die for them. They're by far my favourite band.

And, yes, they're so natural and talented =)

[skullrogg]

@0SpecialNeeds0 lol i can't help watching this 14 times and singing along lol

[VeroniMolko4]

Dlaczego coraz częściej spotykam się z określeniem "Placki"chm..no cóż :P

[macolins007]

what a terrible lokaaaa hahaha XD

this song is soo good is placebo in their begining

[angelika1g6a]

Placki rządzą :))

[7sashabing]

press my button going down :))))

[nottzville]

im a rapper with a twist of alternative....but when you hear a classic you cant deny a great piece of music....

[DaNyCK19]

&hearts;

[StreetLolita]

I LOVE this song! First time I heard it, I was like 'wtf.. is that Placebo?!' but then I got completly addicted to this song :) I love it. Especially the chorus!

[AdrenalinJunkyxD]

Absolutely lovely band.. Great voice, great drums, great guitar, great spirit xD

[fkbtj8]

Let him screw who he wants to, he sings amazing songs and you all can go suck it. So there XD

I love Placebo ♥

[Asofiro]

@fkbtj8 he can screw your dad too?haha

[monoblog]

Which Album?

[korndog111]

@monoblog Placebo (there 1st album) :P

[baldazz]

I don't care if the guy is bisexual or whatever, one thing i know is that I discovered this band yesterday and I am completely addicted

[Fulmarmusic]

@baldazz ??... i don;t care that snoop dog is black but I like his .... i mean loathe his tunes

[Asofiro]

@baldazz

placebo has played for almost 20 years

and you found them yesterday?

retard.

and you would be the biggest loser if you thought that this band is bad just because the singer is bisexual so keep your "smart" comments in your "head"

[baldazz]

@Asofiro Hey mister "I know everything ", I'm 15 years old, doubt that much people with my age listen to Placebo, and the most important thing, understand what they want to transmit.

Yes I would be the biggest loser if I though that this band is bad just because the singer is bisexual but ...guess what? I'm not a loser because I dont care about his sexual orietation.

Plus, you're just talking to me because I have so many thumps up, does that bother you? Faggot.

[Asofiro]

@baldazz

hahaha

dumbass,im 16,so what?

and to start if you are listening this comercial song instead a good unknow one by placebo,then you are the classic retarded who only likes mainstream.

and placebo is known for almost everyone,there famous idiot,so dont try to be so smart when you only look like a moron.

i bet anything you listen metallica,megadeth and all those famous bands though you feel soo "smart" ROFL

[baldazz]

@Asofiro What do you know about my music style? I didn't say that I was the biggest Placebo fan in the world and that I just listen to it but they're kinda hard to understand 'cause they reffer to interesting themes.

Also I could give you a list of non-mainstream bands that I listen to it if you want. Don't worry, I'm not that kinda of guy that think Placebo is the best band in the world and don't hear anything else!

[connaire777]

good song

[teruhullu]

i love this!!

[brianmolkofaaan]

i looooooove this part

'greatest lay i ever had'

^^ i looooooooove them <33

[pulrh]

I always assumed he said 'jizz coming over me', not 'she's coming over me'.

[mymarkis666]

Lol, that's just sick.

[pulrh]

Well, what can I say, that's what I thought he said. And why the thumbs down (from whoever)? Considering Brian's bi-sexual, the song's about sex, and the video shows white liquid squirting from a bath when he say it, and it does sound like 'jizz', I think it reasonble to concur that he did, indeed, say 'Jizz'.

[mymarkis666]

I didn't give you the thumbs down but if it bothers you so much I just gave you a thumbs up.

[TomCat0759]

it is 'jizz'

[Tristanslav]

no. its not. The line before says 'she's universal'. The line 'she's coming over me' is in reference to his feminine side coming out. Brian said this himself in an interview.

[uubcool]

amazing song!!!

[SchissaBrun]

oh that's so fucking good *-*

:)

I love Brain! and Stef and Steve :D

last tuesday they played in zürich, and one "fan" next to me didn't know, that brain is bi and stef gay. he said it's disgusting to be gay and only homos and bisexuals can have aids.

OMG Kill him! ( after this information he didn't enjoy the concert....) KILL HIM! :)

[brianmolkofaaan]

@SchissaBrun

xD that's a funny story^^

[SchissaBrun]

@brianmolkofaaan

yes it is, but the guy was just an asshole ^^

whatever, placebo is FANTASTIC

[brianmolkofaaan]

@SchissaBrun

yes of course but think

people like that are very funny

only when someone likes boys

and girls or only boys^^ i think

it doesn't matter :) <3

placebo = live :D

[SchissaBrun]

@brianmolkofaaan

yes, true :)

[brianmolkofaaan]

@SchissaBrun

=)

[VFDbranch13]

@SchissaBrun Totally agree!!

I would love to kill him, where can we find him? haha.

[SchissaBrun]

@VFDbranch13

somewhere in Italy, probably by his mother ^^

[VFDbranch13]

@SchissaBrun hahaha

[InundMTG]

@SchissaBrun wow, what a logic-fail

[SchissaBrun]

wtf?

[melpobrian]

@SchissaBrun oh my god!!!! really? I thought we had finally managed overcome these bullshit and concentrate on their fantastic music..... I love them too!!!! I wish the best for them..........

[SchissaBrun]

yeah, unfortunatly homophobics are no dead :(

it don't matter what you are, it does matter what you do!

[Paradigm6790]

@SchissaBrun How is being angry at him for his choices any different than being mad at Brian and Stef for theirs? O:)

[SchissaBrun]

@Paradigm6790

haha it's just ridicilous judging people about their sexuality ;)

[Paradigm6790]

@SchissaBrun Yeah I'm just playing devils advocate

[hyperchica]

Did You Have To Capitalise Every Word In The Lyrics? xD

Cool song though~

[silencedscene]

i was named after this song ^^

[WILLIAMOFORANGE2003]

What dose Nancy Boy mean? Wats this song really abt...?

[TheBeat1310]

A fenimen Boy

[WILLIAMOFORANGE2003]

TKs! Juz wat I tot...

[SkylarPro]

yeah, feminine, kinda girly, kinda gayish. it's probably about brian being an outcast who doesn't really give a sh*t about being riddiculed for being a 'nancy boy', and simply uses life ;p

[checoles]

An anthem for all the girly boys of the world, Nancy Boy represents the next generation of males who care as much about gender roles as modern girls do. You don;t have to do what you were told growing up as a boy, the world is open and waiting for you. Grab your mascara, get yourself a groovy skirt and live your life in total freedom. If, that is, you want to. Choice. That's what it's all about. Forget sexuality for just one moment and do what the hell makes you feel happy.

[ShadowScarab]

@checoles Well said there hun =)

[brianmolkofaaan]

@WILLIAMOFORANGE2003

nancy is a kind of ''gay''

[FuN201208]

i like it

greez Nancy :D

[Ickleosh]

Wooooo?

[ShAuNyBoBz]

just another nancy boy ;)

[Culturelubfan]

LOOOOVE PLACEBO<333 this one of thier best songs^^ love them, they are so fucking good...

[YourSilentWhisper]

omg I like this so much

[mrsmilie100]

i luv nancy boi

[IBSORIANO]

what does nancy boy means in spanish? i can't get the correct idea.... kind of.. gay guy??

the song is amazing =P

[CrownedWithLaurels]

It mostly means a guy who's effiminate or camp. So yeah, usually means a gay guy, but specifically one who looks or acts "girly".

Think of Brian when he's wearing nail varnish and a skirt ;)

[IBSORIANO]

Danke xD

that's what i thought...

[kaZ152]

un hombre que esta mas en contacto con su lado femenino y pues casi siempre es gay

[showurgoats]

whats the name of the name of the album this is from? any one know?

[Fantasy151]

It's their first Album, which is called Placebo =)

[ilanimals31]

sorry i meant the "death of Nancy boy" why does someone have a problem with my comment?

[darkmithman]

can anyone tell me how he does that guitar part in the "interlude" or whatever it's called (at 1:39)

i think he uses the 3rd bridge technique that involves a jaguar or similar guitar but is that what it is

[missXmikey]

I love this song!!!! Placebo rocks!
