Eskimo Joe - Love Is A Drug Lyrics






Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
We were cryin' again,
Fighting with our backs to the wall
While our blood's on fire
Love is a drug
But you still can't fool desire
But I'm trying
We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher

Walking with our eyes through the sky on a tightrope wire
Fight like a flame in the night till our hearts get tired
We're trying
Just want tears, we'll replace anything you want
Shoots up to drop his arms till you hit the floor
Now we're dying
We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher

Fight like a flame in the night till your heart's all tired
We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
I said that love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Yes love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher.

  8. T.... H....

    Super .

  9. S.... B....

    I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR A WEEK, IT HAS HAUNTED MY DREAMS, finally finding this shit has added ten years to my life span

  10. D.... L....

    wot a great band..absolutely talented

  11. c.... m....

    God Damn this Video is HOT. 😊

  12. A.... ....

    Why has no one invented the love drug?

    A.... ....

    aussietvone its called weed

    A.... ....

    That will destroy love, Norrie.

    A.... ....

    They did, it's called "roofies".

    What? No one ever said the love had to be mutual.

    A.... ....

    its called viagra

  13. A.... ....

    It's been around exactly five years since I heard this for the first time. I was in the back of my mum's boyfriend's car driving along great eastern highway in Perth on the way to school. Bloody memories.

  14. S.... L....

    i never ever hear one of their songs play on radio or tv or anywhere anymore. It sucks because they are amazing! !

  15. S.... L....

    yep i agree. These guys are my fave band and always have been! ❤ They are so underrated :'(

  16. L.... ....

    Massively underrated, this band...

  17. E.... L....

    Love It

  18. C.... T....

    I haven't heard from Eskimo Joe for a long time now
    Why??

  19. B.... ....

    class act...

  20. w.... E....

    Words <3

  21. J.... F....

    The most underrated Australian Band I have witnessed in the past at least 10 years, how they never made it internationally is a mystery to me....

    J.... F....

    They have reached mainstream often coming number 1 or 2 in the Australian charts over here, the views aren't high though because for some reason people prefer seeing it on the main music company's YouTube channel for example, Warner Bros. Records or Parlophone.

    J.... F....

    Honestly a lot of bands that aren't big are much more talented and better then mainstream bands like one direction, after romeo etc

    J.... F....

    I think the same :(

    J.... F....

    Yeah that's a sign of the garbage that hogs mainstream popular music radio these days.

    J.... F....

    Actually I think Gang of Youths are just as good, or better. And they are not popular enough.

  22. T.... C....

    why is that drug f@ck beating up on poor old Murray from the wiggles 37 -42 

  23. P.... W....

    Great song from a good aussie band. 

  24. J.... d....

    Kav visited my school last week for 2 days with his producer, played black fingernails, help our band write and record a song and was the nicest and coolest famous person I have ever met.

    J.... d....

    That's awesome!!

    J.... d....

    I'm so excited coz I'm having the same thing happen on Thursday!! Ken is coming to do a song makers workshop:)))))

  25. c.... ....

    Underrated, Should have been a hit, maybe their finest moment.

    c.... ....

    A hit song is only a song you determine a hit in your own eyes

    c.... ....

    @Matthew Beggs Well its a big hit in my eyes then

  26. T.... M....

    Looks like the methadone line up at Wollongong hospital...great song though.

    T.... M....

    Shoalhaven's worse, ha ha ha!

  27. T.... M....

    why is that guy bullying Murray from the wiggles at 0.37

  28. c.... ....

    Umm what? There is no "Joe" in Eskimo Joe. There is Kavyen, Stuart and Joel. Eskimo Joe is the band name, not the name of an eskimo called Joe.

  29. r.... ....

    we are eskimo joe's no.1 fansssssss, saw him tonight, go joe !!

  30. c.... ....

    Still trying to work out to this day why this wasn't a hit

  31. o.... ....

    Kav is a grade A cunt

  32. D.... ....

    I adore this song. I listen to it every day.

  33. S.... A....

    awesome

  34. J.... I....

    Can you make better?

  35. P.... ....

    Dude, if everyone knew about this song it would become a drug...

  36. t.... b....

    your a fuck wit

  37. A.... P....

    This takes me right back to the AWESOME gig at Scarborough Beach earlier this year, you guys were AMAZING!!! Loved it, thank you so much!

  38. C.... ....

    Yes because I'm sure that Eskimo Joe read this.

  39. C.... ....

    Oh how I love this comment.

  40. C.... ....

    Maybe his guitar is candy. Why can't he lick it? :P

  41. D.... F....

    it's how they get that guitar ringing sound at the start & end of the song

  42. T.... M....

    this reminds me of the line up at rehab,where my pills man

  43. d.... ....

    Why is he licking his guitar?

  44. I.... S....

    What if I told you, that you DON'T have to click on music you don't like, and that you DON'T have to comment on it.

  45. T.... M....

    Nice song

  46. L.... ....

    Awesome song

  47. T.... ....

    crank this song up........

  48. S.... W....

    At least it is better than Justin Bieber.

  49. S.... W....

    The boys from Freo. West Aussie REPPIN'. <3 <3

  50. c.... m....

    Awsome track.

  51. f.... ....

    This song ought to have been a No.1 hit internationally.

  52. L.... ....

    his voice is awsome

  53. t.... ....

    what have you ever done? other than masturbate in public

  54. G.... W....

    Nice song, but crappy quality, wait, oh its ok now for some reason. Weird.

  55. z.... h....

    this song is good this video is sorta dumb but its aussie so i didnt expect much from film aspect O.o

  56. l.... ....

    Srsly2 Blow yourself

  57. T.... ....

    Look, critisize all you like if you have created or played an enjoyable song that other people like, but if you can't then don't try and ruin the song for everyone else by saying that they suck and you would rather listen to a dying cat.
    there are other people in the WORLD that enjoy music like this! So unless you have made it to Australias TOP 50 then go away with your bad mouthing skills because you cant be as good as them!

  58. P.... M....

    Srsly2...FUCK OFF

  59. s.... ....

    is this incredibly untalented shit band still going ? I would rather listen to a cat dying or fingernails down a blackboard than listen to your incredibly shit lurv is a drurg TOOOOOOTAL COOOOOONTRAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL, i feel sick hearing this shit - just fuck off like Jet finally has (thanks Jet, best thing you shitcunts ever did)

  60. O.... ....

    WTF is wrong with these comments??? eskimo joe and other bands are the only type of bands who don't use auto tune or other adjustments.

  61. E.... P....

    @SMDCENA But yet, oh so sexy in their 'Don't let me down' music video. Check it out!

  62. S.... B....

    Lead singer scares me. lol! Something about him, is so... weird. xD

  63. T.... ....

    why does this only have 150k views, yet pointless songs like "Sexy and I Know It" have hundreds of thousands.... Music has really lost it's touch.

  64. D.... E....

    @srsly2 LMFAO

  65. s.... ....

    @Hefelump1 OK - as soon as eskimo joe promise to never release another song, and to disband as soon as possible, Australia doesn't deserve the suffering that this shit band puts us through.

  66. E.... P....

    @srsly2 Just do us all a favour and piss off.

  67. f.... ....

    0:08 girl in leather jacket, OMG OMG She is so sweet!!!

  68. T.... S....

    @srsly2 wtf then why did you come on the video? Dumbass. U spend time on something you hate. I'm sure I wouldn't like stabbing myself so I don't. And who are you to judge what's cool? Fake is what you are

  69. s.... ....

    @srsly2 I'm sure your probably into anal sex coz this song rocks!

  70. s.... ....

    @TheDudenotcool Living up to your username I see, you are a fan of eskimo joe therefore by default you are a pathetic piece of shit who loves shit music. At least thirsty merc has done us all a favour and disappeared, these cunts keep coming back with new songs even worse than the last.

  71. K.... M....

    I just love it when he says troll

  72. D.... ....

    Sweet :) but I love it :)

  73. h.... ....

    @czeglediambrusmate Eskimo Joe are pretty famous - they've been around for a while and had some pretty big hits.

  74. s.... ....

    we lost tow-tal con-troooooooooooooool = horrid. Please do Australia a favour and never make another song, and use the money you've made to buy back all your cd's so people aren't subjected to this horrid garbage. You guys are so bad that the best you could ever look forward to is sucking, because where you are at now is way worse than simply sucking.

  75. s.... ....

    @rattyohara13 Nice try clutching at straws, still doesn't retract from the fact that eskimo joe have shown you can be successful and have absolutely no talent, their songwriting skills are so horrifically bad that 'black fingernails red wine straight down woah-oh' will forever be known as the worst garbage ever seen in the Australian music industry.

  76. T.... ....

    OZ ROCK 4TW!!!!!!

  77. a.... ....

    @srsly2 their are so many problems with that I'm not even going to bother pointing them out

  78. b.... ....

    this song is like a drug! I pretty like it!

  79. s.... ....

    @ashkarful hahaha Australia's finest hahahaha the closest this horrid band has come is being in the same room during the aria's. they are absolute complete and utter rubbish and you are a moron for liking them because it proves that if you like a song with timeless lyrics such as 'black fingernails red wine straight down woah-oh' then you have no clue whatsoever.

  80. a.... ....

    Eskimo Joe... Best Aussie band ever?

  81. a.... ....

    @srsly2 First if you're going to criticize, get the lyrics correct they are "Love is a drug but that drug won't take me higher". Second, you are probably like 12 based on your spelling and punctuation. Third, Eskimo Joe are among Australia's finest. Forth, if you don't like it then use constructive criticism. Fifth, you are an idiot.

    a.... ....

    ashkarful *fourth

  82. S.... H....

    @srsly2 Ok, then by that logic then that stupid crappy LMFAO shit should never have been written I mean who the hell writes "everyday I'm shuffling" then sings it over and over for five minutes I mean WTF is that... Same thing with any other LMFAO song, also they use the same freaking tune for almost all of their songs! they should never have been born, same with that nicki manaj stuff, or almost ANYTHING considered popular! They are all the same, poor tune, bad lyrics, horrid voices!

  83. s.... ....

    epic song ie: epically shit, you no talent morons are a complete embarrassment to Aussie music. Listening to your shit songs is like someone running their fingernails down a chalkboard. Seriously how the hell did 'love is a drug but that drug won't take you high-ya, we lost total control' ever make it out of a recording studio - is there a musical equivalent of an abortion ? This song should have been aborted, you make me sick you no talent vomit inducing poor excuse for a band.

  84. J.... C....

    @SukaiRaijinKanashimi What music???? You need musicians to make music!!!! singing the same line for 3 minutes is crap...Try "Karnivool" for good Aussie talent
    Anyhow I stumbled across EJ via the Freo Dockers theme song entry by your "Pop band EJ"
    BTW Enjoy you little world, don't bother replying I've wasted enough time. PLONK...I'm outta here.

  85. S.... ....

    @jaycbee98 seriously dude. . . get a life, if you don't like the music- DONT WATCH IT THEN! duh!

  86. L.... ....

    @TheCat4gaming agreed

  87. J.... C....

    whatever... i still think they sound crap, can you really tell me these guys go off...i dont think so. this music was done in Perth West Aust. 20 years ago with DM3 / Stems.
