PIERROT THE CLOWN

'Pierrot The Clown' is a song of Placebo's fifth studio album Meds. It has a slow, mellow feeling in the song which fits its lyrical context of a character in a sombre mood. In the chorus the song compares the character to Pierrot The Clown.
''"I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown, like Pierrot the Clown"''
This is most likely Alexander Vertinskiy's version as he portrays Pierrot in black clothing singing sad songs in brothels.
