Placebo - 20th Century Boy Lyrics

Placebo Lyrics

"20th Century Boy"
(originally by T. Rex)

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a rat
Talk like a cat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I'm gonna be your man

And it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah
I'm your toy
Your twentieth-century boy

Friends says it's fine, friends says it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I'm gonna be your man

And it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah
I'm your boy
Your twentieth-century toy

20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I'm gonna be your man

And it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah
I'm your toy
Your twentieth-century boy

20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th century boy
I wanna be your toy
