The drugs don't work - The Verve

29 december 2014

Die Top2000 is absoluut leuk en komt ook regelmatig langs deze dagen. Maar er zit toch ook wel een hoop 'niet mijn smaak' tussen. Veel herkenning en veel 'oh ja', maar kandidaten voor deze lijst zijn schaars. Maar deze hoort hier zonder twijfel thuis, want uit een bijzondere tijd, want van een heel fraai album, want 'niet de grote hit', want fraaie tekst.

And I hope you're thinking of me

as you lay down on your side

The Verve

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 comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
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
'cause I passed down my old street
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 comin' 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

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
