The Drugs Don't Work --- The Verve

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

But I know I'm on a losing streak  'as I passed down by your street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know  And I'll sing in your ear again

(**)  

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too  Just like you said, you leave my life,
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

(**)  

'Cause baby,  if heaven calls, I'm coming, too Just like you said, you leave my life,
I'm better off dead  But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

(**)  

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again  Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more


Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft wrote this song. It tackles the hardship of watching his father dying of cancer when Ashcroft was 11 years old. The drugs given to his father were no longer working.           (songfacts)
