Sedative

Band songlist

Info

Sedative is Track #5 on The Blinding EP, and was first heard by fans in June 2006, when the Paris Rehearsals were uploaded to French Dog Blues. An acoustic version, dating back to July 2006, has also been leaked online, after it was recorded by Doherty and Mik Whitnall. This version lasts over eight minutes, and Doherty answers his mobile half way through the recording. Parts of the lyrics for the early eight minute version were later used as lyrics to Baddie's Boogie, which was released on Babyshambles' second album, Shotter's Nation.

In an interview, in 2006, Doherty said of Sedative; "It's a dangerous tune. It's a bad tune, a bad, bad tune. Makes Oasis look like the Smurfs."

Lyrics

Sedative,
it's a sedative
it was my hero
oh it was..

What's it really like now
it's been a long long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun now
would you take me out
take me by the hand now
it's been a long, long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun.

Sedative,
it's a sedative
it was my hero
and I had a hit

[Incomprehensible]

Sedative,
oh it was my hero
and I had a hit on it

What's it really like now
it's been a long long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun now
would you take me out
and I crawl along now
it's been a long, long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun.

My faith in you
My faith in you

What's it really like now
it's been a long long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun now
would you take me out
and I crawl along now
it's been a long, long time since I've stepped outside
to the morning sun.

My faith in you
My faith in you
My faith in you
