Songfacts®:

  • This song is found at the end of "Burger Queen" after an 8-minute silence. The song contains a distorted message found on Brian Molko's answering machine. The lines you can get from the song are: "Message received at 9:50 p.m. on Thursday the 23rd: Hey Motherf--ker, I'm after You, I know where you live. I will sneak into your room and cut your c--k off and stuff it in my mouth and chew it up with my little teeth." >>>

  • A year before they released their sophomore album, Without You I'm Nothing, Placebo first gained notoriety in their native UK when their single "Nancy Boy" became a #4 hit. But frontman Brian Molko really knew he'd made it when he started receiving the death threats that appear on this song. He told Vice of the insidious messages in 2017: "They are death threats that I received on my answering machine. They were the 'I know where you live' kind of threat, not so much a threat of physical violence. To be honest, at the time, I just thought, 'Wow, I've arrived. I must be pissing somebody off!' So that was a good thing because it proved I was having an effect. I decided to claim them from the anonymous person hiding behind the cell phone. I took the power back, I guess."
