Protège-moi : Live

Chosen by Jack, and in his words : “I've found a good version of a song by the band Placebo in French, in which he talks to the crowd in French. While he usually speaks English, he's French-American, so I guess he's bilingual. The song they're singing has an English version too, which I've also found, and I think the lyrics are quite similar between the songs.
The lyrics are available at : www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858498702 ”
