Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug Lyrics






T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Roxy Music Love Is The Drug Comments
  1. J.... R....

    “Take this horn, and if you are in peril, blow upon’t....And I will come running faster than Hunduuuuu The Volkswagen.” - Bryan Ferry

  2. W.... P....

    Roxy were so sophisticated and cool. Music for the intelligentsia.

  3. E.... ....

    With good old ..eh young...Jerry Hall

  4. B.... G....

    The microphones are covering the lady on the right's face through most of the video.

    C'est magnifique.

  11. H.... B....

    Mario bros movie flashbacks, yay.

  12. C.... D....

    probably one of the finest songs written.  and I don't mean just that era.  if you listen carefully, you can hear the essence of funk, disco (yea, I said it, fucking DISCO!!!)  new wave and everything in between.  the cats from across the pond just seemed to do their music a little better with a lot more class.  they didn't tune themselves to one demographic or genre.  I miss these songs that were so cleverly crafted and made EVERYONE dance.  my daughter was listening to Cardi B on her headphones.  I switched her station and played her this song.  we now have another REAL music lover in the house.  she then took my Bryan Ferry  "boys and girls" cd and I haven't seen it since.  thank you Roxy Music.  8 million folks can't be wrong.  for those that disliked.................................there's always Cardi B (B is for barf)

  13. S.... C....

  28. R.... H....

    En av tidenes beste plater AVALON

  30. f.... l....

    This mother fier is the bomb....

  31. S.... K....

    If love is a drug then I'll take some more.

  32. G.... V....

    Limbo down... Aaaah this song, and Roxy Music kept me sane as a teenager.

  33. t.... r....

    Sounds like 80s music started in the 70s , so must be 70s music RIIIIGHT

  34. b.... g....

    Bryan Ferry rocking the eye patch 40 years before Madonna. So much going on here. Love it.

  35. 1.... ....

    Excuse my language, but this song is the SHIT!!! Masterpiece!!! Roxy Music FOREVER!!!

  36. E.... W....

    This comes from an era where people knew what music WAS! I'm sad I'm 50++ already. This swings and wants to make my feet moving!

  37. S.... 1....

    Einfach nur supergeil!❤️80 iger Jahre!😁Total cool!

  38. J.... ....

    Great song from the past! It was a pleasure hearing it on the soundtrack for the movie Sucker Punch... Kind of wish they could have just paid Bryan Ferry to sing it himself.

  39. S.... K....

    Not every1 who's been prescribed "morphine"/pain meds forgets things while their taking it just to say. I'm glad to hear your feeling & doing better though. Kudos👍

  40. D.... C....

    I was always conflicted with Roxy. The music was amazing and Ferry was uber cool but the rest of the band looked like ageing hippies. And a 16 year old glam rock fan, I couldn't deal with it :-)

  41. J.... b....

    Most badass bass.

  42. f.... ....

    I only see Will Ferrell.

  43. g.... ....

    Such a cool song....

  44. k.... m....

    This sound is close to the 80s sound

  45. D.... C....

    I used to play this album at work back in the day...... drove all my co workers nuts .... all the more reason to keep playing it

  46. C.... P....

    This performance can be described as insanely erotic surrealism-the singer with the eye patch looks like he just got back from flying a mission, the bubbles tribute to Lawrence Welk, and the hot as 4th of July firecracker fight attendants with the Andrews Sisters style uniforms all go together to make something unique and delightfully bizarre.

  47. E.... ....

    This song sounds younger than 44 years old. I would have thought it was released in the 80s. Sounds very ahead of it's time.

  48. L.... B....

    Sexy saxaphone😍👏👏👏👏

  49. S.... D....

    Wonder if this influenced the Talking Heads' Psycho Killer....

  50. A.... Y....

    Ew horrible edit.

  51. M.... M....

    ❤️🎶

  52. S.... ....

    Those girls are hot!!!

  53. S.... ....

    Love is the drug and I neeeeed to score.

    S.... ....

    I hear you Sheels1976!! God Bless!!😉❤👍

  54. J.... M....

    Grace Jones did a great remake of this song

  55. T.... ....

    The best one

  56. M.... Q....

    ohhh i hear cowbell.. all cowbell songs rock!!!

  57. T.... R....

    Introducing “Roxy Music”. Not for the mediocre masses.

  58. s.... t....

    pay attention to the woman in the right , the epitome of 'beautifully mind-melted by psychedelics'

    so beaautiful.

  59. M.... K....

    Your gonna get yours and your gonna get yours first...😏

  60. T.... C....

    I grew up on the Grace Jones version but I dig this.

  61. T.... S....

    A brilliant stylish decadent song! A tribute to that era of music.

  62. L.... S....

    of cpurse Bryan did this as his last encore Thank GOD as I was screaming for it! #greek theater #losangeles #rocymusic #bryanFerry2019 #welldone #greatshow 3nexttimeplay #theopheum

  63. L.... T....

    Those 1,100 Viewers who disliked this video don’t know what good music is.

  64. a.... ....

    I was here in 2019

    a.... ....

    Yes!!!!, I also went to that Bryan Ferry Concert!!!!! It was So Good.

  65. R.... C....

    I'M a hard rocker at heart, but they played this many times at high school parties and I enjoyed dancing to it big time !!!

  66. d.... ....

    Eye injury -- No problemo! We'll put a patch on it, but later down the road when you're injured again, we'll do another video in another great song called, More than this. We'll place you in a theatre, where you're obviously crippled with back pain and we'll just throw you up on the big screen watching yourself sing. No one will notice.. Coke is the drug , I'm thinking of..Jump up bubble up, what's in store
    Coke is the drug and I need to score, Oh, catch that buzz
    coke is the drug I'm thinking of
    Oh, can't you see
