A punk-thrasher from their debut album, Painkiller was “a necessity for the album” (Dom). According to the band, the song couldn’t have been written without the “upbeat, rock, aggressive, punk vibe as a drummer” of Price.
[Verse 1]
I'll light two cigarettes
Then I'll give you one
Oh, that never gets old
No, that never gets old
[Verse 2]
You send me your regrets
Look what you've done
Now you'll never grow old
No, you'll never grow old
[Pre-Chorus]
These messages won't compute
Those images don't come through
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Those images don't come through
These messages won't compute
[Chorus]
Your love
Your love
Score love as a painkiller
Your love
More love
Pure love as a painkiller
Your love
Is just
Your love is a painkiller
Your love is a painkiller
[Verse 3]
Sweet tasting overdose
Oxytocin
Oh, I'll never be told
No, I'll never be told
[Pre-Chorus]
These messages won't compute
Those images don't come through
No matter what they say
No matter what they do
These messages won't compute
[Chorus]
Your love
Your love
Score love as a painkiller
Your love
More love
Pure love as a painkiller
Your love
Your love
Score love as a painkiller
Your love
More love
Pure love as a painkiller
[Outro]

These messages won't compute
These messages won't compute

Painkiller was written by Joe Langridge-Brown & Dom Craik & Conor Mason.
Painkiller was produced by Julian Emery.
Nothing But Thieves released Painkiller on Fri Oct 16 2015.
Joe Langridge-Brown:
‘Painkiller’ started out as another ‘sitting on my bed, unplugged guitar job’ which is funny considering how it turned out: this punk-thrasher.
