Billy Idol - Whiskey And Pills Lyrics






The sun you know it rots my brain
The way I walk is with a cane
The wind it blows it takes me in
And times it turns it makes me thin

My life is going down the drain
My wife you know she went insane
My kids are messed up in the brain
But when I’m high I feel no shame

When my mind won’t hold still
When I feel the sickening chills
When I feel I’ve had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I calm myself with whiskey and pills
I calm myself with whiskey and pills

The people I know
Their number’s changed
Their view of me is rearranged
The way I see they’re really strange
I’ve got no reason to play their games, yeah

They look at me with eyes a stare
I look at them but I don’t care
I tell them all, what’s fair is fair
And here and there and everywhere

When my mind won’t hold still
When I feel the sickly chills
When I feel I’ve had my fill
And every voice I hear is shrill
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills
Ooh, ooh, whiskey and pills

When you see me
I’m a-roaming around
My face hits the pavement
Yes I’m on the ground
Turn me around, see if I’m okay
Check out this smile
That’s on my face

I never thought I was gonna die
Until I stared into God’s eyes
He said to me “well, come on son,
better shape up boy, your days are done”

Up my mind I got the chills
Even though he talked with skill
Of the voice I heard the shrill
It was a sound I had to kill
I turned around and grabbed
The whiskey and pills

Can’t say goodbye to
Whiskey and pills
I call upon my friends
Whiskey and pills

I calm myself with
Whiskey and pills

  23. D.... ....

    Sad his new album is only popular to billy idol fans it was never played on the radio his music sounds modern enough with a nostalgic throw back to fit for both new listeners and old

  24. n.... ....

    I don't know why I couldn't focus on this album when I first got it in 2014. Now it's got me.

  25. N.... ....

    Hell, now imagine that this dude recorded this damn thing in his late 50s.

  26. l.... ....

    This is rock n roll!!! Woohooo go!!!

  27. H.... C....

    idol forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. L.... ....

    muac Billy!

  29. J.... T....

    Awesome!!!

  30. G.... C....

    i'm very surprised his new album is not very popular

    G.... C....

    I'm very surprised his new album is great

    G.... C....

    Bc they don't play good music on the radio anymore,only rap & crap!

    G.... C....

    I think it's as good as his original - like a lost album with some more wisdom. One of his best. Good Job Billy - Keep playing! Found you on Alexa asking her to shuffle Billy Idol songs and your new album came up - Awesome!

    G.... C....

    That's how the music industry is now. Most good music is hidden and has to be searched for. There's just so much bulk, and the charts have become completely corrupt. That's why people assume music is worse now. It's not, there's more good music than ever, but that won't be what you encounter. Try brute force. Pick a year at random and just look for absolutely anything and everything that might be of interest. When you find artists you like, go through their catalogue. If there's musicians you remember from a while ago (like Billy Idol), it's worth checking up on them. A lot of these artists fell out of the limelight but are still making good (and sometimes better) music. Toto is a great example. Another handy thing is to check foreign charts instead, as many of these remain uncorrupted, i.e. Finland.

    I didn't grow up with Billy Idol. I didn't hear his music on the radio or in media. I had to go out of my way to find it, using the methods above.

  31. D.... J....

    Jul 6th Casino Rama. Vital Idol!!!

  32. R.... T....

    I must admit I didn't like it on the first listen, however, after paying closer attention to the lyrics and being nearly 40 with RA and having kids I can definitely relate. Great song from an aging Billy Idol.

  33. L.... ....

    Rock 'n' roll is back!

  34. C.... A....

    Ohhhhhhh man, Trevor Horn's bass playing. Fantastic.

  35. r.... n....
