Ashcroft, Richard - The Drugs Don't Work Lyrics
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
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
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
'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
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, 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
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
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
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

Exelent performans
if you don't the secret song he did called LONELY SOUL with UNKLE go search it now, wow.
So proud from one from Wigan, to another.
Gotta be one of the best songs ever this has. Goosebumps every single time without fail.
The Verve music has aged better than Oasis.
What a song.
Sounds better than when it was first released. Epic, mature voice.
YouTube needs a ❤️ button
Damn straight
If you met him he's a full of self important twat, I'm just a bloke who lives in his street, Wigan rules but Richard is a knob in our world. Just our opinion!
Hairs on the back of the neck are on end, legend
2020 just turned 50..fkn love this song.. Times hurrying on... 🇬🇧❤️
40? Im 44 this year lol
It's about his father dying and going through chemotherapy
No he literally said in an interview it's about him using drugs

My favourite version!
Women with red hair is stunning
Hell of a tune! Ashcroft is a fucking legend!
Who's cutting onions!!!?
Is this a beyerdynamics advert? give me a fucking break. Hard plugged phones in a studio....get fucked. Bullshit.
Me encanta tu voz Richard.
Saludos desde chile😘
stupenda
😪😪😪
This could have been released yesterday. His voice is somehow better.. a little understated. Makes me feel the words more. Still and always a time changing record. I drove the coast of Wales once listening to this man sing. Things changed for me after that journey. Still on a journey, but of a different kind. I know I’ll see your face again.
backing singers fucking ruined it
Brilliant
The birth control pills don’t work
I feel like I'm hearing this song for the first time
Just...... WoW !
Thought it was John Lennon on the thumbnail.
same here ...
Like a fine wine!
Pure class, best singer/song writer of a generation, 90s indie Rock at its finest...
50 years old here listening this 4 days off a new decade. ✌️
He sounds brilliant here
R.A. wears camo cuz he's a solder!!! He's a rider!!!!
Elvis...Lennon...Marley...Richard Ashcroft. ..
It wont happen but one thing on my bucket list is to go for a pint in Edinburgh with RA #underatedlegend
I dunno....I took drugs on Saturday night and they definitely worked
Richard, obviously you're the person who can make people cry.
Reminds me of the days smoking the foil chasing that first high but deeply lost... 16 years clean and I have everything I ever dreamed of
Well done mate, keep it up it's not easy!! 😁
ggmu tho 😜😜
Why always sunglasses, he's got such beautiful eyes
Genius.....the best
Verve reunion and tour?
Love this chord progression. And when he starts singing, Jesus. Fucking hairs standing up on my neck, and everywhere else...
My love ❤️
Slyly betters the OG version 😂
i want my old life back. im in hell now
that acoustic guitar is fucking sweet and the vocals are spot on , better now than ever .
Still listen to this . .daily
For me the best tune of all time.
When life was great
Absolutely fantastic 👌🏻..... best version I've heard him do ...
Rodney Trotter doing alright for himself!
//Erin// 0w0 HAHAHA
alright dave
Fukin golden
Drugs don't work...but that what would work, is so hard to get... sympathy, friendship, family
When you're cool you're cool
Half that room probably takes drugs
Its about cancer drugs not working on his dad
@Richard Dixon your point?
Good Yeoman songs not about recreational drugs
@Richard Dixon I know that. There is still irony in the fact half that room will be on drugs.
I’m a massive grime fan but this right here is fuckin awesome!
Brilliant!
A true Masterpiece of modern music which shall live on for years to come.
Beautiful song always makes me cry hearing this
Goosebump! Also WFT are people disliking this for?!!!
This song was written for his grandmother who was dying of cancer. The drugs didn't work and she passed.
Hi rizzzla I thought he wrote it about his dad?
His dad
legend ...
Genius just genius !!!
Rarity...
Looking a young 48 & sounding good too.
Wish I was there
legend memories never forgotten fucking tune maaan
Anybody feeling a tad depressed who happens to hear this, It could push them over the fucking edge.
I will see your face again
The sound of Em to F ... beautiful
".................if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead"
Holy fuck the Verve are better than Oaisis.... Finally Richard Ashcroft has got the rights to bitter sweet..... finally and well desrevedddddddd
One of my best songs I love the guy for his music 💙
Who else first thought it was John Lennon on the thumbnail?
The drugs must have worked for 235 people
Hate these YouTube adverts before a song but it’s well worth it for this gem 💎
Best thing I’ve seen in ages. Voice is incredible
What a voice ,better than ever
Ridiculous voice 🥰
By best friends girlfriend died of lung cancer aged 44 two years ago, diagnosed at stage 4! lasted less than 1 year, first person I ever loved truly that left my life and this song hits home! Cancer can feck right off!
The outro was a wonderfully spine-tingling experience. His matured voice brings so much more to the song than it did before.
One word legend....
I bought Urban Hymns back in the late 90's, this was one of my favourite tracks....................
Unbelievable live performance, better than the original, Richard Ashcroft is the man
I love this song
