Verve, The - The Drug 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 coming 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 coming 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, oh Lord
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again, oh Lord
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
[Repeat and Fade Out]

Song about Ford.
The trucks don’t work
P,
In the 30+ years I knew you, you showed me that one really good friend is worth more than a hundred acquaintances. That's the most important lesson you left for me. I wouldn't have made it without you. Every day you fought inside your head and you would never ask anyone for help. The drugs stopped working. You started to break down, and you would never so much as complain. We played this at your funeral, brother. I hope you heard it. I hope you know that we were all there, and that we all would have done anything to get you back.
Your fight is over. You've earned the rest. I'll miss you, brother.
Safe travels.

Classic
2020 and still a belter
Came here because of Derren Brown
It's not about drug abuse just drug's to stay Ali
I'm off
Im still in serious xanax addiction and i swear i would give everyting jus to b able to quite . I overdose several times a month . Its missery i wanna die inside
Using drugs to cope with lifes problems is like using a band-aid to heal cancer. I was an addict for 17 years and i can honestly say that true happiness and healing starts from the inside out, for me it all started by having a faithful relationship with the Lord. When i started to truly put my faith in the Lord, that was when i started to really understand what happiness truly was.
There are just a few songs that never get boring. This is one of them.
I once thought about suicide and when I listen to this song it takes me back to those memories cos when I was deeply depressed I didn't use drugs but I self harmed a lot but I'm glad I came out the other end so this song brings tears to my eyes and I was nearly killed last year by testicular cancer so it's made me realise how precious life is
Excellent track, specialy if you been there see & done it!

Great song!!! The verve 90s style
Grandpa is starting to get more and more confused. The drugs are starting not to work anymore. I hope he recognizes my face again
That song that video the 90s😥♥️
como le gusta caminar al pibe
This song is about his dad having cancer and the drugs didn’t work.... great song x
Stephen Mcgough it can be interpreted in different ways but ok
Eastenders brought me here
This song has nothing to do with drug addiction..
My father and I had an up and down relationship but underneath the pain I loved him so much. We didn’t see each other for 17 years, then we reconnected but after 3 years I lost him again. Except this time it was permanent. Just like my broken heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Anyway, when we did make up this song was number 1 in the U.K. it’s a hard listen
Meravigliosa!!
I'm guessing some drugs work or there would be no pharmaceutical companies 😂
QUEM OUVE ESSA BELEZA DE MÚSICA EM 2020? RS SÓ EU MSM 🤗🤗
beautiful song.
Its the same old song just a different feeling since you been gone r.i.p dad
I know I'll see your face again.
You know hm this song is fuckin amazing really cool dig this
Oasis and The Verve were really a great rock band
Meaningful and much loved song!
My dear, u had been fighting against your heroin addiction for so long, and in the end of your life you said that i was there helping you to get closer to God and that was a very great achievement.. you said i was your hero.
Noo, the fact is youre the real hero of my life.. you had given me the sweetest gift by being my hero..
Thank you for choosing me as the one you could always count on.
"Arie, terima kasih sudah membuatku menjadi orang yang berarti dan berharga di matamu.."
I love you, i believe we'll meet again someday..

They still don’t work. So I’m not going to try and see you sooner than I’m supposed to. But you broke my heart even more than losing my gran- who was basically my mother - you were my soulmate and my person .... No one else knew what we were thinking but one look and you and I could speak without speaking....
I’ll never forget on that bus “watch that girl!!!!!” ... I try to laugh at the funny times even though they were actually still very dark.
When you've been in the drug scene (especially a heroin addict) this song cuts to the core. Over 10 years i lost to this devils drug
Drugs aren't bad if they work , Mmmkay?!
Is Abandonment a feeling?
Emotional abandonment is a subjective emotional state in which people feel undesired, left behind, insecure, or discarded. People experiencing emotional abandonment may feel
at a loss, cut off from a crucial source of sustenance that has been
withdrawn, either suddenly, or through a process of erosion.
Want this played at my funeral, coz I know the drugs don't work, to late now, thanks for aving me
See on my own, these drugs don't work, like I said thanks for aving me
Bien Pity, te diste cuenta
Τι κομματαρα....
I have a slightly different interpretation of the song and it’s lyrics , always reminds me of my mums fight against cancer but more to the point how the chemo made her worse .
She lost her fight 😢
https://youtu.be/OwvDBMatDOk
You people with your comments make me all misty. What a great song still, 20 years later.
Prescription drugs are the worst imo
Fun fact: A study done by Dr. Harry Witchel of Brighton and Sussex Medical School has proven this to be the saddest song ever written.
Source?
people are thoroughly confused about this song here....it's not about street drugs folks!!!! Richard has discussed this before. it's about an old relative(father?) taking over the counter meds and them not working.... get a grip with all the street drug personal stories!!!! LOL>
the comments are breaking my heart i wanna cry
MS drugs DONT WORK they are posions many have sadly died on .
Sing in your rear again.
2019 has been pretty rough for me, my dad left me with my mom and my grandpa died to cancer in december. Im hoping 2020 is going to be better and i wish the best luck for everyone this year
Good after bad be strong 👍
Fuck!! 😖 Good luck for u this year dude. Life is hard...
Sorry for your loss. Wishing you goodluck for this year and the years to come ❤
The drugs do work... for some people.
Good after bad bud chin up 👍
2020 anyone ?
As a recovering addict I can also agree that the drugs don’t work, they mite help for a short time but they just cause more problems
Everytime I hear this song I want to sing along. Then about 30 seconds in I just shut up and listen. I have lost so many friends to drugs, so many relatives to chemo, and so many people to suicide. I try to sing along, but I just become implored to listen.
Change all the drug to truck in lyrics. It feels little bit lighter now.
if the drugs don't work TAKE SOME BETTER ONES!
This is not really the place you should write this
Will alway remember those who ha passed on and will always remember the good times and the bad but always stay strong 😇😇
13 jan 2020
So I’m clean on and off. I hate life cuz ppl just end up getting hurt. A friend of mine just passed away, and I asked myself why am I still here! I’m nothing but a drug addict and a deadbeat parent. Why did she go away???
Maravilla de tema
I’m dedicating this song to a friend who recently passed away he used to always love this song 😢
Saddest song I've ever heard, especially the bit when he said baby ooooo, so sad, I'm on edge please reply
I hope you are ok.
Trying to deal best I can, but thanks for replying
Urban Hymes one of the best albums ever recorded!!
I really, really, really love this song
Pas mal le sonnet frérot
This music wasn't my bag but I loved the Verve, great band singing meaningful lyrics RESPECT 👏👏👏❤
Indo mane
you are not alone
Cool band!
So much loss in the comments. Yet everyone continues to push forward. That's something to be happy about.
Rip my grandad tony I loved him so mutch he realy got me into vinyl still think of him everyday it's been a year
I lost my grandpa to cancer less than 3weeks ago i feel your pain but be strong and i with the best for you
Vuol dire 103....mila Drogati comunque canzone Superlativa
But it masks the pain and make your forget. Weed makes me feel calm and lsd helps me zone out.
I have no excuse for the other stuff. I switch between things as and when I feel like. Tbh apart from weed everything else is occasional but I guess the false feeling of happiness to hide from my depression.
Weed though, that helps better than any anti depressant iv took ☺
It's 2020 and the psychiatric drugs given for my schizophrenia are absolutely useless trash. They make me feel worse. I go along this ride because I don't wanna be given drugs that actually will do me harm and I've had my fair share of that too. Keep me in your prayers and good wishes. Maybe I'll get through this. This song really resonates with me.
It's just lovely to read every comments here. I hope wherever you're, have a nice day!
I’m happy I stopped smoking a long time ago
Now I can appreciate this song after a long battle with depression I no longer take antidepressants if anyone is suffering with depression please speak up don’t suffer in silence
I am with you : ))))))))))))) Love this song!
I'm struggling with it bad, split with my gf of 14 year's through gambling, miss my daughter, can't handle it, I don't speak bout my illness
He is reconstituting the world.
