Mr. Pharmacist Lyrics
Can you help me out today
In your usual lovely way
Oh mr pharmacist I insist
That you give me some of that vitamin c
Mr pharmacist
Give me some energy
Mr pharmacist
I’ll recommend you to my friends
They’ll be happy in the end
Mr pharmacist can you help
Send me on a ’delic kick
Mr pharmacist
You better stock me up for the wintertime
Mr pharmacist
Words cannot express
Feeling I suggest
Oh mr pharmacist I can plead
Gimme some of that powder I need
Mr pharmacist
With a handful of empty sack
Mr pharmacist

saw them a week ago and this was the encore. it. was. amazing
@cheddaringo awesome!! Wish I’d seen them just once, any version of the Fall would be ok, I’m not hard to please, long as MES was there!

as to the meaning - self obvious really - drugs

Cover version originally by '60s pychedelia/garage band The Other Half --if the Fall had never covered this gem, we'd all would' ve never have heard it--God Bless Mark E. & Brix Smith and co.!!!

Wow! Lucky you! =) The closest I've ever come to seeing the Fall live was a live radio simulcast from the show they did in Boston back in 1987--Brix was still in the band! We Yanks must've treated them like demi-gods; that crowd was reeeally quiet except for "Hit the North", "Hey Luciani", & "Cruiser's Creek". Then the fans go wild! No "Mr. Pharmacist", though. :( Cheers from the Pharmageek, Pharmacy Technician (see why I can relate to this song now? hehe) Portland, OR USA
