  • 83 Justin Bieber fans

  • Les drogues ne marchent pas.

  • hey benidorm informed me who performed this song 

  • The Drugs Don't Work. (exept weed and mushrooms)

  • THIS SONG MEANS A LOT TO ME TAKES ME RIGHT BACK TO THE 90S WHEN ME AN ME BEST MATE WERE CLOSE GOOD TIMES GREAT MEMORIES!!!

  • ii lovee thiss tune. so very sad! :'(

  • Are people actually complaining about the man off of Benidorm 'ruining' it? It was a fucking karakoe/open mic night thing, for gods sake, it's not like he's trying to re-release it or something!! XDD

  • The facts are anybody other than the Ashcroft singing this song will ruin it so eh ! long live Ashcroft and the Benidorm.

  • This is such a good song and the man on Benidorm just ruined it :( (don't get me wrong i do like Benidorm )

  • Found this due to Benidorm ;D

  • @Kieranoe haha me 2

  • Benidorm <3

  • 83 people don't do drugs very sad!!!

  • underrated song...

    ...sigh.

  • This song is so beautiful <3 It will always remind me of my best friend who wanted to feel good about herself so she started to take drugs. :( I told her they didn't work and they would make her feel worse like the song and she never believed me. Tragically shortly after her mother was sent to prison, she killed herself. She left me a note saying: "You'll never see my face again."

    I cried so much, but this song is what will make me feel ok for 4:51 seconds... :'( x

  • Half way through and WOOWWW, jimi hendrix and slash collab for the best solo ever played,

  • I can just imagine it, Noel gallagher sitting on a small stool on a stage strumming wonderwall on his gibson, liam walks on sticking 2 fingers up at the cround, Kelly jones starts singing maybe tomorrow, chris martin is playing an orgasm synth on his keyboard, Richard Ashcroft starts singing along side liam gallagher and kelly jones, john lennon just sits and smiles.

  • oh man...oh man....this song bring tears to my eyes...

  • this is real music

  • seen how much lip stick biebers got on?

  • how can sm ppl dislike videos like this

    r they tooo talented

  • I miss the 90s

  • but i know i'm on a losing streak............as i past down your street.....

  • why the fuck is justin biebers ugly face under this meaningful song?!

  • ahh, the memories ^_^

  • nice song yea

  • @Letspreach This isn't actually about recreational drugs, it's about his mum dying of cancer. But nice to know you've had an epiphany

  • This was my youth. Drinking lager and smoking Regal cigarettes in alleys and over school-fields, sniffing gas from aerosols. How times change. I've matured now, and so have my vices. But the message is as clear now as it ever was: The Drugs Don't Work. If I could go back to my fist bong (which set the ball rolling), I might just decline the polite offer atop a ruined castle, and stick to the lager in my young hand. Who knows.

  • Charlie Sheen, LOL

  • @JackBuck44 hahahaha good one

  • good. listen hard...

  • Absolute tune.

  • drugs works just to make u worst.

  • @Sgnjam Cheers!

  • what album is this song on?

  • @xamykypx Urban Hymns

  • Hate the cáncer!!!...

  • This song brings me pain

  • who T F .... its justin bieber?????

  • who tf.... its justin bieber?????

  • magic sound 

  • i like the link between the end of bittersweet symphony and this vid

  • You take the pills just so you want to stay alive, but if it takes pills to make you want it, then do you really want it in the first place? Today the pills aren't working; it seems like there are a lot more of these days lately. What do you do when the drugs stop working?

  • @voiceontheleft got some good shit do

    but what the hack. its hollang home off drugs

  • @seaweasel516,chin up m8!!

  • Absolutely beautiful song, dads best song, makes me cry, rest in peace farther:(

  • Well maybe I've got a tricky sense of humour, but these many thumbs on seaweasel are like yeah, let's kill yourself ! (so you'll see them sooner)

    They certainly don't mean any such thing, but still it looks strange to me lol. I'm really sorry for weasel and I lost several people most dear to me last year, so this song moves me even way more than it did before. But they're still with us, somehow.

    I love this guy, I mean Ashcroft. That's how you turn mud into gold. Wonderful song, deep respect...

  • its about his old man being ill

  • hate these stupid commercials, I'm boycotting Miracle Whip

  • theres only one reason i can think of why someone would click dislike and thats because the dislike button is too close to the like button :/

  • @ttuffleshuffl

    Its about cancer, and chimotherapy... I thought the same thing you did at first

  • CAN I GO ON ONE FUCKING VIDEO WITHOUT SOMEONE MENTIONING THAT BIEBER FAGGG!

  • @katiekatastrophe1524

    It's starts with one person, but by mentioning that which shall not be named, you keep it alive.

  • @katiekatastrophe1524 why is he a fag?

  • @katiekatastrophe1524 .......correcto mundo, I've watched 5 YT clips tonight...... and Justin B. came along in every comment that people made about these clips. BTW..... I love this song , brings back a lot of memories. Sorry for mentioning THAT name........

  • @katiekatastrophe1524 You just mentioned that Beiber fag...

  • @oilpit so did you :/...

  • @katiekatastrophe1524 HE IS A FUCKIN WEASLE BRUV

  • @katiekatastrophe1524

    to be fair, you just mentioned him..

  • @mikejones2505 leave me alone.

  • Fuck everybody with Just... Bieb... Lisen to the fucking epic song and stfu!

  • How could anyone not say his name especially on his own birthday.

    This is one of the songs that doesn't need dislikes at all.

  • Here I come to listen to this fabulous heartfelt song...only to nearly jump out of my skin in terror at the horrendously ugly Lady Gaga beside the flashbox. xD

  • i love this song makes me think of my life !!!!!

  • 83 people found the drugs to work

  • you fucking twats arguing for who has the most problems i do nobody fucking cares i have a drug problem and clinical depression

  • @lucass098ace1 its a song just listen to it

  • Proper music!!

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by user and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

    Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page

  • tunnnnne

  • i have always been single

  • @ukgreaterlondon me too =(

  • @ValentinaInbloom ladies don't want to date me.

  • @ukgreaterlondon are you 30, single for over 11years?? if yes.. ok then you have a problem.. if not... you are ok!!! i'm going to dedicate time to listen to more music to feel better... try listening to The XX- crystalised...any song of theirs for that matter!!

  • @ValentinaInbloom i am 25 and i haver been single for all my life sio yes i have a problem.

  • drugs do work... they were hugh when they did this...

  • I WANT A GIRLFRIEND

  • @ukgreaterlondon so what...?

  • @Ophelia752 citalopram don't work for being lonely and sexually frustrated.

  • sad song either way it's all left up to interpretation. Thumbs up from me.

  • End of thread: Pfizer admits the drugs don't work.

    Not metaphorically but, more importantly, literally.

    I'm better off dead.

  • I always thought it was about someone whos parent had alzheimers or dementia, and the way the drugs weren't helping them, but how every so often they came back to themselves, and the writer "saw their face again".

  • The Scientist - Coldplay (cover by Vonni Akoma) 

  • Gotta love the way the song builds from a solemn beginning to the multi layered endeing, (to me, it says: 'hey- the drugs ARE working'). It picks us up and carries us on that journey.

    The recreational drugs don't work if you're trying to use them as a 'pick me up' to find happiness, but neither does medication, for me. I came across this saying: "the best medicine is the emptyness of everything"- atisha.

  • A Truely Epic track

  • its sad that this video has only 1,815,160 views and a justin bieber video has 463,036,900..... what the hell has happened to music!?!?

  • @XxemoTWATxX less people like music now. More people like "beats" and puberty-deprived singers.

  • @XxemoTWATxX its because 12 yo girls are watchign Bieber 500x a day. They will grow up and realise the error of their ways, lol

  • @XxemoTWATxX You REALLY have to let go of this obvious fixation you have with Justin. Now the Biebs don't work, he just makes you worse, but I know I'll see his face again. ;)

  • @XxemoTWATxX Another video ruined by a bieber comment! goodjob keep making advertisments on his name... seriously... if fools like you wont stop spamming his name in every single video you see.... thats how he gets so many views... again... good job!...

  • @XxemoTWATxX kids lol

  • @XxemoTWATxX World's End is just beginning, but these songs never die...

  • @XxemoTWATxX It's not about the music anymore it's how good a video and how a boob job you've had! Who seems to care these days if you can play an instrument or sing.Well I do xx

  • @XxemoTWATxX im sorry for putting justin biebers name on this video thaunbeated of cource the mere mention of his name in the comment section will, im sure make millions want to view his crappy videos and if im a fool for raising the point ON ONE VIDEO that great songs like this are being overlooked because of pathetic fads then im the biggest fool of them all but im just insulted that a 41 year old man with P.Diddy and coldplay in his favourites (no offence to other likers) called me a fool.

  • @XxemoTWATxX Justin Bieber is way talented too. Some songs of his also feature a cello or violin!

  • @erisislove No. Not a sinle person who is not a fan of him will absolutly disagree.

  • @erisislove i have no problem with you liking justin bieber but just because some of his songs feature a cello or a violin doesnt mean that they're evidence of talent. his songs are all auto tuned and im sure he doesn't even write many of his own songs

  • @XxemoTWATxX people turned off their brain.

  • @XxemoTWATxX just more and more groupies, thats all i think true listeners will never ever talk, listen or love bieber

    lets just forget him and listen 2 true music

  • @grimconan  well said :)

  • @XxemoTWATxX

    stfu Bieber is good too if you can do better than him do it mf !

  • @XxemoTWATxX

    i know ! im 16, and i hate this generation music, i hate bieber , rhianna ect, i much prefer this sort of music.

  • @chloeejayy1 there was plenty of shit music to go along with bands like the verve you know. . it wasnt all glorious music. its just the crap gets forgotten :)

  • @chloeejayy1 nah you love it. your whole generation loves it. you're all gay for bieber's beaver. this is your legacy now.

  • @chloeejayy1 agreed im 18 and love this generation of music more than todays music

  • @chloeejayy1 you're just an ass kissing bitch that whores thumbs by taling crap about modern day music, go die, and listen to pokerface and such

  • @chloeejayy1 nuff respect im 21 and ive always given every type of music a break 2 c what it can do with it but the music in this past decade is just discusting its all about money no passion whatsoever.

  • @XxemoTWATxX You'll find most music enthusiasts don't want to waste their listening experience on streaming a poor quality version of a song, they own this song.

    Whereas the people who listen to beiber have to do it via youtube, because anyone caught buying the CD get's their credibility shot down the instant it's scanned in to the till

  • @XxemoTWATxX lol remember that many of Justin Bieber's viewers are also haters, actually i'm pretty sure that in one of his videos he has more dislikes than likes

  • @XxemoTWATxX

    And you were one of those views!! :P

    But yeah, this song is really sincere, and it comes from the soul. It means a hell of a lot to me =x

  • @XxemoTWATxX the internet

  • @XxemoTWATxX justin biebers video has more dislikes than likes which is an upside

  • Herion all the way... my friends. HIs drug lover died and now the drugs don't work for him.

  • silly sod - even I once took an overdose to this !

  • R.I.P Leon & Joey this song is for you to lads! miss you both so much , your both gone but never , ever forgotten !! much respect for this song ! Love from HU8 bro

  • this is a grea song! OMG! The Verve!! they were amazing. I will always love you guys

  • As far as i've read, it's in memory of the lead singers Father, who died of cancer, and the lead up to his death. Whatever the meaning behind it, it absolutely rips my heart out, every time I hear it.

  • me encanta :D

  • its a heroin addicts song because im one and i know what he is talking about.listen to the words very carefully.

  • Songs aren't meant to be argued about on Youtube by people that don't matter. They're meant to inspire people in any way they can, who cares what the song's about. It's meant to inspire somebody. I hate idiots who argue about music like they know everything about it. :(

  • @germer2664 fuck off, mate.

  • love it. i miss songs like this that convey such intense emotion that you feel when hearing it. fucking magic.

  • I lost both my wife and daughter to illness. They died 13 months apart.....I wonder why I'm still here. The pain never goes away. I hope I see them again soon

  • @seaweasel516 sorry to hear :( stay strong mate! xx

  • @seaweasel516 sucks for you man.. im sorry.

  • @seaweasel516 RIP for them :)

  • @seaweasel516 you must live without them, and feel them within. People only die totally when noone's left to remember. Make the most of this life they lost, you'll see them again soon enough. Take care.

  • Sorry to read you lost your wife and daughter, but live on my friend and treasure the memories. I lost my mum years ago through a terrible illness and the pain hopefully will get better but the memories will help.

  • @seaweasel516 I feel your pain my friend may they rest in piece and god watch them, you will see them again, when the time is right you shall walk together in paradise. I wait for the day i can see my granddad again.

  • @seaweasel516 people tell you 2 be strong but sometimes it doesent work, my friend robs him self off his life after he lost his parents

    you do know what it feels 2 lose someone but iff you kill yourself you give alot off people the same feelings

  • @seaweasel516 never give up...even when it seems there's nothing left..there is always something left for you to do. everything happens for a reason.

  • drugs always work

  • This song wasn't released in the States (for some dumb reason.) I wish it had. It's the first time I'm hearing it , what a fantastic song!

  • It doesnt take a 1st Grade Detective to analyze lyrics. Verse 1: All this talk of gettin old Its gettin me down my love (His girl has him reflecting on his dad dying BEFORE he got OLD) Like a cat in a bag waitin to drown This time Im comin down (Obvious!) Verse 2: & I hope youre thinkin of me As you lay down on your side (His dad in hospital bed) Now the drugs dont work they just make you worse & I know Ill see your face again (R.I.P) Verse 3: But I know Im on a losing streak (Cant kick habit)..

  • Verse 3: Cuz I passed down my old street (block where he used to score) & If you want a show just let me know & Ill sing in your ear again (poss. sang to dad as he lay sick in hospital bed) Verse 4: Cuz baby ooh if heaven calls Im coming too

    Just like you said you leave my life Im better off dead (girlfriend & drug use issues which run hand in hand) Outro: Im never going down Im never coming down No more no more, no more, (Come on people, wakey wakey eggs n bakey- Drug Abuse! MYSTERY: SOLVED.

  • #ITS ABOUT BOTH MEDICAL & RECREATIONAL DRUG USE# Richard Ashcrofts dad just died of cancer. ( WIKI: The meds were thought to have prolonged his life & inflict suffering at the same time.) Richard was using drugs to cope: (WIKI: Theres a new track Ive just written It goes the drugs dont work they just make you worse & I know Ill see your face again- Thats how Im feeling at the moment. They make me worse man. But I still take em. Out of boredom & frustration you turn to something else to escape)

  • A drug by ANY name (whether for illness or recreational) is still the SAME. They both have the ability to take the ones we hold dearest to us. I love you Mom, I miss you here..I hope that you're doing well. Take care of yourself, I know that I will get to see your face again. I hope you all will get to see the faces of those you love and miss again. Take care of yourselves!

  • what a song,,,the emotion so raw, so real, makes you cry, makes you remember them all who are gone

  • drugs don't work is my new drug

  • I really love this song.

    This one makes me cry about the love and his pain... Terribly awesome..

  • nice song,.,great

  • Beautiful Song!!

  • 83 people thought this song was for recreational drugs.

  • weed works well for me

  • hellypalli1977 have a bit of respect people are talking about loss of family members or close friends not a good time to be telling jokes.This you should know if you have any compassion at all.

  • I´m living this song right now, I person I love is dying, doctors keep her with drugs, but drugs don´t work anymore... I´m just wishing she dies already and finally rest in peace, it´s tough. She probably will die tonight, so this song means everything to me, today is all I can listen to.

  • @Xehen if she fuckin dies tonight then go and see her you silly cunt.

  • This song relates to me in so many ways, I had to watch my grandad slowly be taken from me by cancer. Seeing his face everyday in hospital broke my heart a little more. Don't get me wrong I miss him so much you wouldn't believe, but I'm glad he isn't suffering anymore, because "the drugs don't work", it was his time to go.

  • This song just kind of sums upa ll the feelings i went through and well still go through since my papa died from cancer :'( not a day goes by when i dont miss him :( <3 RIP xxx

  • 83 people work in the pharmaceutical industry

  • 83 people have not tried drugs...

  • Doctor doctor hes been in a accident he is in serious pain.

    "Who cares, tell him to get over it, only viagra works"

    should i ask if he wants a boner doctor?

    "dont be silly nurse, both of his arms have been ripped off, What would he do with a boner!"

  • Depends on the drug.

  • brill and sad

  • boy is it true, the drugs dont work, they just make you worse..

  • @hamronD73 how right you are real worse

  • Please don't - my mum and dad are together now X

  • this song is about recreational drugs umm at the end the whole NEVER COMING DOWN NO MORE kind of gives it away dumb ass

  • this song, i believe, is about the drugs given to a cancer victim, i hope, i really hope that i will be able to listen to this song for the rest of my life without having to remember anyone!!!!

  • It has taken me 12 years to be able to isten to this song - love you dad - and miss you so much xxx

  • @Jenturbo1

    i fell so sorry for you!!!!!

  • @Jenturbo1

    Bless you jent.... some people are just heartless B@stards . Is"nt it amazing how a song like this can bring back them memories, good luck to you and be happy.

  • Reality is for people that cant handle drugs and drug are for people that cant handle reality! 

  • @randomren You don't get it pal - this song reminds people of loved ones who have lost people who were on MEDICATION for terminal illness - not recreational drugs

  • @Jenturbo1 You dont get it pal - it was a joke not a statement, and dont call me pal friend!!!

  • @randomren dont call me friend buddy!!! hahah

  • @befz88 dont call me buddy guy!! Hahaaaa

  • @Jenturbo1 You don't get that an author's intention matters less than how someobody relates to something

  • @Jenturbo1 remind people of loved ones very true ! but terminal illness that is not fair !!

    i had a friend who killed himself after he lost his child this song was played at his funeral aswell as listening to it over and over again while he hung himself! you cant say this song is for one thing! it reminds me of who i have lost to drugs and violence! a great expression that goes along way! not arguing about your comment just think you should be carful what you put! everyone has different feeling

  • @Jenturbo1 the song is actually about a person who has gone through emotional torment and has turned to drugs
