The drugs dont work- The verve (also covered by Ben Harper on Live from Mars).

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

Its either about the artists own drug struggles, or written from the point of view of a terminally ill relative. Either way, it sucks the life out of me everytime I hear it, but in a good, soul serching way...

if you knew anything about the writer, it's probably a personal point of view - Ashcroft was a major substance abuser of the highest caliber - it's almost like a requirement to be a rock star in England.

Well if you knew anything about the song, you'd know it was about the illness and death of Richard Ashcroft's father.
