‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ Songtext
von Richard Ashcroft

All this talk of getting old
It′s getting me down, my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm comin′ down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I′ll see your face again

Now the drugs don′t work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I′m on a losing streak
As I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show
Then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again


Now the drugs don′t work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

And baby, ooh (sha-la-la-la, la, la)
If heaven calls (la, la, la)
I′m coming, too
Just like you said (sha-la-la-la, la, la)
You leave my life (la, la, la)
I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down, my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I′m comin′ down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I′ll see your face again


And baby, ooh (sha-la-la-la, la, la)
If heaven calls (la, la, la)
I'm coming, too
Just like you said (sha-la-la-la, la, la)
You leave my life (la, la, la)
I′m better off dead

But if you wanna show
Then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don′t work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Oh, lord
Yeah, I know I′ll see your face again
Oh, lord
Yeah, I know I′ll see your face again
Oh, lord
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Oh, lord

I′m never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I′m never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I′m never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never going down, I′m never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

Oh, yeah, oh, lord
Oh, yeah, oh, lord
Oh, yeah, oh, lord
Oh, yeah, oh, lord
