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 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
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
(Repeat and Fade Out)

I feel really sorry for you, but the only way to carry on is to forget about it. I know it's hard to but if you don't, you'll be depressed all your life and will probably have a really bad life. Just try to forget about and continue...

[Mary Devenish]

This song reminds me of my mother RIP mum!

I knew a girl named Lilly and the drugs didn't work. Hereon didn't work. And I will not see her face again.

[ElishebaalX]

Ci vuole forza. Metti un punto e rialzati.

This is about someone dying of cancer & the chemo etc. not working but obviously can be interpreted otherwise. Hope you're managing your addiction now?...It's hard though. Its a struggle everyday for me

Unfortunately that's what Dr's do. Most are somehow in 'the pay' of the big drugs companies. Anti depressants can & do help, but only in the very short term. Talking to experienced people & getting involved with support groups is far more productive. Throwing drugs at people is seldom successful long term wise. Its hard, but try & stay strong. Things can & do get better. 'Kepp On Keeping On'..Don't ever give up.. :)
