Battle for the Sun

For some reason I hadn't realised that Placebo's new album was already out, but when I found out last night I made haste and downloaded it.
I listened to it straight through before falling asleep and every song hit me.
But I must mention that whoever said that the new drummer gave them 'a much needed kick' was a douche . . . we all know old Steve was perfect.

I just listened to it again on the long walk to and from the park where our home gathered for a strange ritual.

Track 1: "Love of mine, this fortress in our hearts feels much weaker now we're apart."
-KITTY LITTER

Track 2: "And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make"

-ASHTRAY HEART

Track 3: "I will brush off all the dirt, I will pretend it didn't hurt."

-BATTLE FOR THE SUN

Track 4: "For what it’s worth, come on lay with me cause I’m on fire"

-FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

Track 5: "All of my wrongs, no more wicked ways come back to haunt me, come what may.
He wrote the songs that I hoped to write someday, looks like the devil's here to stay."

-DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

Track 6: "A heart that hurts is a heart that works"

-BRIGHT LIGHTS

Track 7: "Don't let them get their way, Don't let them have their way, you're beautiful and so blasé, so please don't let them have their way.
Don't fall back into the decay, there is no law we must obey, so please don't let them have their way, don't give in to yesterday."

-SPEAK IN TONGUES

Track 8: "Time will help you through, but it doesn't have the time, to give you all the answers to the never-ending why."

-THE NEVER-ENDING WHY

Track 9: "Just one more hit to make it right, but every one turns into seven."

-JULIEN

Track 10: "This memory will fade away and die, just for today, breathe me and say goodbye."

-HAPPY YOU'RE GONE

Track 11: "Here comes another fall from grace, I'm always falling on my face."

-BREATHE UNDERWATER

Track 12: "Walking around like you're on some kind of cross, and it's a shame on you the irony's lost."

-COME UNDONE

Track 13: "Were you looking for somewhere to be, or looking for someone to do.
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you."

-KINGS OF MEDICINE

Now if I win those tickets to see them next month that I applied for on facebook I will be uncontrollably happy if I don't just combust alltogether.
