Infra-Red is the third single from Placebo’s fifth studio album,
Meds, and was released on 19 June 2006. The song peaked #42 in
the UK, #35 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, and #91 in
Germany.  The words “beggar’s banquet”, featured in its lyrics,
references the Rolling Stones’ album of the same name.   The
music video features politicians seemingly conspiring against
the public; meanwhile, a group of ants interfere with their
files. A character (apparently a president or similar leader)
gives a speech with the help of a computerised prompter, but the
ants’ interference causes the prompter to say “I lied to you. We
are the enemy”, which the president reads.  Edited by WichitaQ
