About Sugar for the Pill
“Sugar for the Pill” is the second single to Slowdive's self-titled comeback album. It is something entirely different—a disarming heartbreak ballad led by singer Neil Halstead in a surprisingly gentle mood. Sparer than their early, fuzzy compositions, and warmer than the equally minimalistic tracks on Pygmalion, “Sugar for the Pill” is simple and delicate, but never frail. The song’s greatest surprise is a smooth, catchy ‘80s soft-rock chorus—a considerable risk for a band that rarely indulged in straightforward pop. .
Sugar for the Pill Lyrics
[00:39.76] There's a buzzard of gulls
[00:42.42] They're drumming in the wind
[00:46.86]
[00:49.59] Only lovers alive
[00:52.48] Running in the dark
[00:56.91]
[00:59.69] Anna rolled away
[01:02.41] Said we never wanted much
[01:09.20] Just a rollercoast'
[01:12.03] Our love was never number one
[01:16.68]
[01:18.10] Sugar for the pill
[01:21.86] You know it's just the way things are
[01:26.45]
[01:28.73] Can't abide the sun
[01:31.64] This jealousy will break the whole
[01:35.82]
[01:58.26] Cut across the sky
[02:01.00] And move a little closer now
[02:05.19]
[02:07.41] Lying in a bed of greed
[02:10.85] You know I had the strangest dream
[02:15.56]
[02:17.70] Anna rolled away
[02:20.85] Said we never wanted much
[02:27.32] Just a rollercoast'
[02:30.38] Our love was never number one
[02:34.82]
[02:37.31] Sugar for the pill
[02:40.13] You know it's just the way things are
[02:44.98]
[02:47.12] Can't abide the sun
[02:49.94] This jealousy will break the whole
[02:54.67]
[03:36.02] Anna rolled away
[03:39.04] Said we never wanted much
[03:43.54]
[03:45.99] Just a rollercoast'

[03:55.49] Sugar for the pill
[03:58.58] You know it's just the way things are
[04:03.22]
[04:05.45] Can't abide the sun
[04:08.34] This jealousy will break the whole
