Colors - Lyrics - Nancy Boy

"Nancy Boy" is a song by British alternative rock band Placebo, released on 20 January 1997, as the fourth single from their debut album self-titled album, released on Hut Records. As with their first single "Come Home", the single edit is a re-recorded version, noticeably different from the album version. "Nancy Boy" differs from previous songs' themes about drugs, sex, gender confusion and bisexuality. "Nancy Boy" became their breakthrough single, peaking at number four in the UK Singles Chart a month after the singles release. While Placebo originally charted at number forty upon its release, after the release of "Nancy Boy" the album re-entered the UK Albums Chart at number five in February, staying on chart for thirteen weeks.

Consult the A to Z You'll find me on the map That's where I'm at And when I left the room I saw the black sheep at the meet and greet I thought I'd never see your face around town You built me up and now you're knocking me down You're just a wrecking ball Who said that I'm condemned? I take offense Oh my time is filled with touch and go Oh don't you know? Colors I see colors going to light and dark I'm disappointed The wolf was good to Riding Hood It's co-dependency He's more human than Gary Numan I thought I'd never see your face around town You played me off and now you're knocking me down Oh my time is filled with touch and go Oh don't you know? Colors I see colors going light and dark
