Brian Jonestown Massacre, The - If Love Is The Drug, Then I Want To O.D. Lyrics






I brake it down again for love
I sing the songs you've been dreaming of
And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
Up all night why you keeping me waiting

You live your life like you live for fun
And every day like it's just begun
And maybe love's no good for the taking
Waiting in vain why you keeping me waiting

Your so high,
Your so high,
Your so high,
Why can't you fly?

  2. H.... G....

    Up all night listening to BJM is where it's at.

  3. M.... O....

    A huge od of lv, pls

  4. G.... H....

    Is this version available on any albums or on Spotify or other relatively permanent streaming service?

    G.... H....

    Yeah, It’s on the Zero EP (2000).

    G.... H....

    tim.herremans Many thanks. This version is so ‘60’s flower child.

  5. D.... ....

    LSD yeaaaaah

  6. R.... A....

    Why this sounds different (and way better) than the other version on YT?

    R.... A....

    There are a few recorded versions. This version is from the Zero EP (2000). It was later re-recorded at a studio in Florida (I think), which was released on the “If love is the drug..” 7” (2004) and this version is also found on the Singles Collection. The third recording you’ll find on YouTube and I don’t know or remember any info about it.

    R.... A....

    Spot on! Thank you!

  7. Z.... H....

    BJM: You're so high
    Me: You're goddam right!

  8. A.... s....

  9. I.... ....

    I break it down again for love
    I sing the songs you've been dreaming of
    And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
    Up all night while you're keeping me waiting
    You live your life like it's just begun
    You saw and fear it, now it's on the run
    And maybe love's no good for the taking
    Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting
    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    Why can't you fly?
    You live your life like it's just begun
    You say your threats and now it's on the run
    And maybe love's no good for the taking
    Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting
    I break it down again for love
    I sing these words you've been dreaming of
    And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
    Waiting man while you're keeping me waiting
    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    Why can't you fly?
    High

    I break it down again for love
    I sing the songs you've been dreaming of
    And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
    Up all night while you're keeping me waiting

    You live your life like it's just begun
    You saw and fear it, now it's on the run
    And maybe love's no good for the taking
    Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting

    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    Why can't you fly?

    You live your life like it's just begun
    You say your threats and now you’re on the run
    And maybe love's no good for the taking
    Waiting in vain while you keeping me waiting

    I break it down again for love
    I sing the words you've been dreaming of
    And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying
    Waiting man while you're keeping me waiting

    You're so, high
    You're so, high
    You’re so, high
    You’re so, high
    You're so, high
    Why can't you fly?

    High

  12. P.... A....

    Anton takes in air and puts out songs. It takes beautiful words to describe a beautiful machine, and I don't know many, so I'm just going to go with 'killer again 👌🏼'

  13. D.... P....

    As long as there's sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.

    D.... P....

    Most of us just have the drugs and the rock and roll

  14. S.... T....

    REMINDED ME OF CITADEL BY THE ROLLING STONES

    S.... T....

    Very good ear

    S.... T....

    YES. I've always heard it this way, though this song has a dark, sorrowful quality to it.

  15. B.... S....

    BJM yeah

  16. J.... J....

    BJM forever

  17. s.... b....

    pretty much all of the BJM's output sounds like the same song,but it's a fucking great song.

    s.... b....

    Uh, no, not really.

    s.... b....

    dude no, their discog spans almost 30 years. not all their songs sound the same.

    s.... b....

    I don't agree. I don't think they all sound the same at all-- they just have a certain sound.

  18. F.... ....

    This was my first BJM song, after I heard this I was hooked.

    F.... ....

    A common occurrance. Most folks hear one BJM song, and they're hooked for life. Though a lot of folks kick themselves for not catching them back in the mid-nineties, they get to hear the entire thirty years of BJM as "virgins." Not such a bad thing. I got nailed by "When Jokers Attack" back in 2003, and still listen to them everyday.

  19. m.... m....

    If your not into psychedelics and listening to this type of music, what are you on? Something pharmaceutical that's recreational for you? Pure air ???

    m.... m....

    Jeesus, why do fans think the only way to listen to it is while high? Im not sayding psychedelics are bad, but holy shit some fans just seem to think theyre better bcs they take drugs

    m.... m....

    psychedelics? This is pure heroin dude.

    m.... m....

    what do you mean? this is my drug of choice

    m.... m....

    cat pellets

    m.... m....

    Why do you assume you can't ike the same things when on psychedelics and when sober?
    The psychedelics only magnify the things you already like when sober, you like the same things when high vs when sober

  20. D.... B....

    severo y el pescado frito

  21. D.... B....

    papas fritas con una salsa de vinagre y limon y otras cosas quedan re pro

    It makes me feel like I am somewhere other than where I am.

  43. s.... ....

    so how exactly did the guy who wrote this song die? so eerie and strange the guy died of an overdose and wrote this song. but i heard he OD'ed on drugs, not love...

    s.... ....

    Kek Anton is not dead

    s.... ....

    i wrote it with my friend christopher, he was an architect, he liked to work hard and snort coke or sometimes smoke it. he had a beautiful son jackson... one night he was out drinking in phili,and he scored.he was driving down the street and a cop pulls up behind him so he turns,only he went the wrong way down a one way so the cop hits the lights. he shits and tried to swallow the drugs... he choked to death on them in the back of the squad car as the police don't try hard to save you, it's not their job. so yeah. don't be a christopher... fucking tragic stupidity.

    s.... ....

    @anton newcombe, That really is a tragedy, I was just thinking about that exact fate yesterday. I'll try not to be a Christopher.

  44. W.... C....

    I am addicted to love and constantly jones-ing to hear more from this band.
    Give me a sweet taste.
