"Twenty Years" is a song recorded by alternative rock band Placebo, and included on their 2004 best-of compilation release, Once More with Feeling. It was the only entirely new song to be released as a single (although Protège-Moi, a French-language re-recording of an earlier song, was released in France). It was available with a video, radio play, and CD single distribution.
Furthermore, the song was one of two songs (with The Bitter End), performed by Placebo at the Paris leg of the international Live 8 benefit concert in 2005.
In the UK, it peaked at number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. In Australia, the song was ranked #95 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.
When played live, the song often has an extra middle eight section added on.

Famous quotes related to twenty years:
“Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D’you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America?”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“Here commences what was called, twenty years ago, the best timber land in the State. This very spot was described as ‘covered with the greatest abundance of pine,’ but now this appeared to me, comparatively, an uncommon tree there,—and yet you did not see where any more could have stood, amid the dense growth of cedar, fir, etc.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
