Placebo - Been Smoking Too Long Lyrics

A. Nick Drake never wrote this song. Get over it.

B. This is a terrible version, sorry...

I feel that this is disrespecting Nick Drake's legacy....

What's the point of doing a cover if you can't play the song?

oh dude sorry. this version does nothing for me

gawd damn. Started the song, thought the guitar was terrible but maybe the vocals will redeem it... I'm sure you had fun playing it and I spose that's all that matters

yeah, I really, um, I really, I really wanted to kind of like,
to capture some kind of like moment, but maybe it's better if I'm sober...'

Wake up in the morning, I look at my clock
it's way past noontime, I'm late for work.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking
too long

Go to fix me some breakfast, I ain't got no food
take me a shower, the water don't feel no good.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
and nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking
too long

I got opium in my chimney, no other life to choose
nightmares made of hash dreams, the devil in my shoes.
What have I done wrong?
yeah nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking
too long

When I'm smoking, smoking, put my worries on a shelf
try not to think about nothing, don't wanna see myself
What have I done wrong?
and nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking
too long

In this blues I'm singing, there's a lesson to be learned
you go round smoking, you're gonna get burned
Fuck me what have I done wrong?
nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking
too long
too long.

Luv his voice it's so sexy

shite cover

The original song is by Nick Drake. You're welcome.

it's actually not by nick drake, it was written by robin frederick

Fuck you. You're welcome.

@Jesse-James FPS You fuck off. Sorry your taste is shite man that's unfortunate for you.

The louder it gets, the more haunting it sounds.

check the original version by nick drake, so eerie

Placebos version is much better

@Gordon Freeman lol bullshit. This is a shite rip off, not faithful at all, doesn't capture the feeling

get your original drummer back.. fuck the beef he MATCHED grohl.... you guys lost a HUGE edge when he left.

Anybody knows if this song became "Special K" later? 
just listen to the guitar

it's a cover....................................

it's on the B-sides, which is loads of songs that were gonna be others. it probably is a demo for special K. other examples is that Slackerbitch was gonna be nancy boy and H.K Farewell was gonna be Teenage Angst

it's a cover of a nick drake song dude

I know but they probably used it as inspiration but its just a thought

It's a cover, there's just no more to it than that, any thought you have otherwise is just wishful thinking.

one of favorite

I love it

Beautiful song!
