Yeah, it would lose its meaning somewhat (it's supposedly about Ashcroft witnessing his father's death from cancer rather than his dad losing his delivery job!)Powell Is Pleasant said:The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve.

Throw your like Batman

"Half of the song is about somebody trying to get in touch with someone who can sleep on his floor. The other half...well, you're on your own there."
