  • T'ain't no big thing
    To wait for the bell to ring
    T'ain't no big thing
    The toll of the bell
    Aggravated, spare for days

    I troll downtown the red light place
    Jump up bubble up, what's in store
    Love is the drug and I need to score
    Showing out, showing out, hit and run
    Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
    Stitched up tight, can't shake free
    Love is the drug, got a hook on me

    Oh oh catch that buzz
    Love is the drug I'm thinking of
    Oh oh can't you see
    Love is the drug for me
    Late that night I park my car
    Stake my place in the singles bar
    Face to face, toe to toe
    Heart to heart as we hit the floor
    Lumber up, limbo down

    The locked embrace, the stumble round
    I say go, she say yes
    Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
    Oh oh catch that buzz
    Love is the drug I'm thinking of
    Oh oh can't you see
    Love is the drug, got a hook in me
    Oh oh catch that buzz
    Love is the drug I'm thinking of
    Oh oh can't you see
    Love is the drug for me Writer/s: Andrew McKay, Bryan Ferry

  • Greg from CanadaIn the vieo what are the names of the two gorgeous Sirens singing background vocals? One is a hot blonde, the other a hot brunette. They both wore blue outfits.
  • Oldpink from Farmland, InJeff from Austin, you and I thought exactly the same thing.
    The singer's voice and the playing style are both exactly as the Clash would have done it.
    Glad to see that I wasn't the only one mistaken on this.
  • Jeff from Austin, TxThis song appears in the movie "Casino" For years, I didn't know who it was. It sounded like a Clash song, but I knew it wasn't them. Anyway, good song
  • Tallmark from Minneapolis, MnGreat, great song by a underrated 70s band.
  • Allie from Pine Knob, MiThis song is awesome!!!
    I don't really know any other Roxy Music songs but the bass on here kicks butt!!!
