Deep Sleep Motel - 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.

Flying high on the 85 Shooting stars to stay alive, it fed you So insatiable She was such a gentle thing She's smiling as we came across the inn Safe and resting well Deep Sleep Motel Check me in before you chuck me out The book you've written It's laying on the bed At the Deep Sleep Motel Word is no, it's on the blink Satellite's my only link, it kept me Unbelievable Late at night I hear a sound In 18 wheeler sensoround It kept me safe and resting well Deep Sleep Motel Check me in before you chuck me out The book you've written It's laying on the bed At the Deep Sleep Motel Throwing back your drifty head Everything you said You know it meant so, meant so much to me In the morning when it's bright Think I will, perhaps I might impress you Just in case I do Swallow me a purple pill A diamond shaped Rhybinol It left me safe and resting well Deep Sleep Motel Check me in before you chuck me out The book you've written It's laying on the bed At the Deep Sleep Motel
