Title: Special Needs
Artist: placebo
Tab BY: Daniel "Arnni" Greenwood
Comments: i went to see Placebo and there a F*cking amazing i watched Brian play
and he is incredible, i was glad he played special needs but the thing is he
tuning is weird! basicly to get his sound add a capo on 1st fret its make
evrything sharpe but i tab this in standard cos i like normal tuneing. Most of
the New stuff is played on 2 guitars they have a backing bass line.
This is an ace song, and i hope u enjoy it i'm 90% sure it rite!
any way m/ROCKm/
ow and also if you know a girl who has a white beanie hat which looks like a
rabbit and has rabbit ears tell her to contact me :)

| It's about two friends,of which one became popular and one remained a mediocre. The line "Remember me says" that they lost touch. (Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed) (Remember me when you clinch your movie deal) (Remember me through flash photography and screams ) It's all about how one of them became famous,while (think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels) He is stuck in his chair that has four wheels,it has nothing to do with wheelchair,it's just a plain mediocre office chair with four wheels he's stuck in. (Just 19 and sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour) (Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour ) He's talking about his famous friend once again here,who used to dream about being a musician or an actor when he was 19 - it's obvious that Brian is talking about himself here,since in his teenage years,despite his father wanting him to be a banker,he wanted to study drama.It's also known that he came out as a bisexual at the age of 19,which explains the obscene part. Lines (special dreams) and (special needs) are not about a person who is limited,but one who wanted more from life - someone who wanted to be a star. It's probably dedicated to Brian's friend from teenage years who he lost touch with. | |

| Well i heard Brian Molko went out with an actress and i forget her name but i thought the song was relating to her. Because he refers to movies and such and the clip for the song is about 'making love to memories' | |

| Special Needs- could be seen as two different things. Either the person actually has special needs (disability isn't perticually special needs) or they need something special to help them through a tough time..namely the person this song is aimed at. Personally I think that this song is based on some kind of experience that Brian or one of the other band members may have had and is based on something once said to them. I see two possible readings of this song, that a person was in some sort of an accident at the age of 19 and is in a relationship with big dreams and hopes that has to be finished because of the accident. The middle part with the repetition of "me" can be read as an eccoe of the sirens of an ambulance that references to the "6 months off" which could be the time they spent in hospital, but they're blaming themselves. Another reading could be that it's about someone with a coke adiction "whenever noses start to bleed". The person has a strong adiction to coke and the song is aimed at someone that they need to get over it but couldn't stand the pain of watching them do that anymore. The "6 months off for bad behaviour" could be a reference to time spent in rehab and the realisation that it's their own fault. they could be reflecting on all the things they want from life that the other person can have but they can't because they can't get off the drugs. The middle "me" part could be a reference to them getting their release again because it slows down this could show them going into a state of relaxation due to the drugs. Either way this is a very self centred song about someone who's always feeling sorry for themselves and concentrates only on the things that they can't have. (This is just a personal reading into the song..it's probably not all that acurate..just thought i'd share my ideas). | |

| I agree with practicly everyone on here but this reminds me of my friend on coke. he did it to stop his worrying and hes been off it for 4 months and he is more sketchy than i dress for fuck sakes, but to me special needs is that need for coke that just don't go away. Remember me when you're the one who's silver screen Alot of the actors/musical artists i listen to were on coke on the road to victory (and still are) Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed reminds me of my friends ex saying i really wanna do coke and me saying all u wanna do it is just so u can fit in with the hardcore punx and she said yes Remember me when everyone's noses start to bleed Don't know how but when u do coke sometimes or maybe all the time ur nose bleeds Remember me, special needs and remember me coke | |
