Any OLD timer, Joe Cocker fans in here?

Question

I have done as much general searching as I have time for, given that "Joes" catalog runs over 100 titles and listing of lyrics.

I'm asking for a song title, or a link to the lyrics that revolve around a ballad. It is not at all upbeat, nor likely one of his better know works, but it matters to me.

The lyric, last line of the specific song is,,, pardon if I happen to be paraphrasing,,,

"It takes a whole lotta medicine, for me to believe (pretend) I'm somebody else."

Thank you to any valid suggestions.

Answer 1

The name of the song is "Guilty".

"You know, I just can't stand myself, and it takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend that I'm somebody else".

Found two covers that you might want to watch: Bonnie Raitt and Joe Cover Band.

EDIT: Glad I could help! (You throw that "O" word around quite a bit now, don't you? :)

But, yeah, Cocker's the only one I've felt has done real justice to a Beatles' tune, or two. Well, Elton John also did pretty good with "L.S.D.".
