a Little help. When you say it's dead and gone, yes, I know you're wrong Cut and slash, sharpest knife, it won't die, ah Poison cup, drank it up, it won't die No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone, it won't die, ah Why you gotta shove it in my face As if you put me in my place? 'Cause I don't care if you or me is wrong or right Ain't gonna spend another night in your bed, in your bed Laws of man are just pretend, they ain't mine Love so good, love so bad, it won't die, ah Some talk too long, they know it all and I just smile and move on Words ain't free, like you and me, I don't mind, ah Why'd you have to be so mean and cruel? The dogs are loose, I'm on to you You ball and chained together from the dawn to dusk Can't call it leaving, 'cause it's just I never came I never came I never came I never came I never came I never came
Mellow wicked tune, it's like a Soundgarden song, calm deviance. Although I never knew this was a breakup song. "You can't say I am leaving, because I never came." Auugh... did a chick I used to date write this song?
@zephranna01 i know what it is about its just hard to believe josh homme of all people would right a song with such a suggestive title and it not be about something dirty
@Qnrad87 yes i just been notified yesterday. for fuck sake im so pissed. but then i found out they playing today in munchen and i have no tickets fucking shit. i have to go there see if i can buy ticket but i doubt what do you think, is there chance to buy directly from someone?
@Levente20 Sorry I didn't saw answer... I don't know how is it in Germany you should ask German fans ;). Probably this is possible but far away and isn't worth taking a chance...
major fail... as a homage to qotsa, i almost got the tattoo "birds aint free like you and me" - ONLY just realising it was actually "words aint free like you and me" ..... i was so confused hearing it for the 999th time that i had to read the lyrics....GOD DAMMIT.
I disagree, slightly. I think he's the one who refuses to realize the relationship is over ("when you say it's dead and gone, yeah I know you're wrong"), while the woman claims they're done. I believe the falsetto parts are actually what the woman says ("ain't gonna spend another night in your bed"). I agree with the "can't call it leaving cause it's just .. i never came" explanation but again it's from the woman's point of view.
Not sure what made me want to listen to this outta the blue....forgot how great this tune actually is
Funny how that happens… lol.
Definately my favourite QOTSA song!
What, I mean it's good but if it's your favorite do you even like qotsa
that punchline tho:
can't call it leaving,
cuz its just,
I Never Came ...
wicked stuff
qotsa are one of the most under rated bands ever, such awesome music
Josh homme has conquered the music industry. this guy is everywhere. and thats how it should be
this song is so perfect
Masterpiece.
Every time I listen to this in my car I think the turn indicator is on.
Yes. It's about having a spirit that won't be broken by someone. Not worrying about being judged.
Josh Homme for president
Se me anuda la garganta con este tema. Josh no puede ser más expresiva, me parte el corazón escuchar esta canción, como aquella vez...
such pure music, this is AMAZING
a Little help.
When you say it's dead and gone, yes, I know you're wrong
Cut and slash, sharpest knife, it won't die, ah
Poison cup, drank it up, it won't die
No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone, it won't die, ah
Why you gotta shove it in my face
As if you put me in my place?
'Cause I don't care if you or me is wrong or right
Ain't gonna spend another night in your bed, in your bed
Laws of man are just pretend, they ain't mine
Love so good, love so bad, it won't die, ah
Some talk too long, they know it all and I just smile and move on
Words ain't free, like you and me, I don't mind, ah
Why'd you have to be so mean and cruel?
The dogs are loose, I'm on to you
You ball and chained together from the dawn to dusk
Can't call it leaving, 'cause it's just I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
Un temon de la ostia,no importa la interpretación de la letra,si como te llega al espíritu con tanta belleza
WOW. This is one very very cool song. Great cd.
Thanks man, your explanation was the reason i looked up this video and lyrics. Absolutely amazing song
Josh definitely has something with cutting. So many songs where he sings about it. He had a painting of himself with a knife in his hand.
This song is mindblowing!! Thanks for that!!
Still a QOTSTA song. Awesome. This whole lp, cd, tape, download etc. 😬
It's one of my favorites... It applies so heavily, in the way I interpret it, especially in the moment.
in the way you interpret it, what does the lyric "i never came" really suggest
He never came, but I did....
Best Song of all Time.. and i am not that "slow song" fan though!
Joshua is a living genious
one person has an allergy to awesome
Thank you
best song ever!!!
what an album....
Alain also do the backing vocals in some songs, including this one.
Awesome share btw
nun hay palabres... impresionante canción y el video muy bien fechu...
stupenda song
I love your username.
great vocals
Josh Homme is the coolest ginger of all time :P
Sad song with the ultimate fuck you at the end. I love it.
me too, you're not alone
nice song
Oh that's awesome
i used to listen to this walking home from my girlfriends, what a song to ewalk home to in the dark
This song...
ginger elvis yeaa
PIĘKNA
Nooo tyle lat minęło i ciągle piękna :-) Pozdrawiam Rodaczkę :-)
why would someone dislike this, i mean...
@Jeremylee1988 i think the most importan part is "Like you and me". Sometimes live he changes the lyric to "Drugs aint free, but they should be " xD
@timmyctc totally agree! :)
it just sucks when it happens to you ...
I never came once. Then I turned 17 and never skipped a day.
@0608ANT Me too, me too...
i beLIEve you
good song for when you feel like shit : )
listen to the song title...I NEVER CAME..that's what this song is about..not being satisfied
That's what she said tho.
@Levente20 Unfortunately they cancelled shows in Budapest and Warsaw.... and Prague also i think...
This song makes so much fucking sense when you're stoned.
Mellow wicked tune, it's like a Soundgarden song, calm deviance. Although I never knew this was a breakup song. "You can't say I am leaving, because I never came." Auugh... did a chick I used to date write this song?
its hard to believe that josh homme would do a song called "i never came" and not mean any inuendo by it?
Hahah that freaked me out!
My dad told me this on my birthday...
"I Never came"
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!
Where's Natasha? :(
same here, especially the live version in berlin in 2005 i think
lol and there's me thinking that this was his answer in a paternity case
@zephranna01 i know what it is about its just hard to believe josh homme of all people would right a song with such a suggestive title and it not be about something dirty
I never knew Dave Grohl wrote this song.🤯
"Why should we buy the gold disc (Original) and not the purple disc (DVD-R)?"
@Qnrad87 yes i just been notified yesterday. for fuck sake im so pissed. but then i found out they playing today in munchen and i have no tickets fucking shit. i have to go there see if i can buy ticket but i doubt what do you think, is there chance to buy directly from someone?
Yeah in a hanky!! Lol
not anymore sense when you're stoned but cooler sounding
What do you mean?
Temps pie...
Tu sais ce que tu rates...
@Levente20 Sorry I didn't saw answer... I don't know how is it in Germany you should ask German fans ;). Probably this is possible but far away and isn't worth taking a chance...
The parts he sings in falsetto are the girl's part. She never came. I know this because I invented Toe Spug.
guitar on this one is amazing, only major flaw for me is the chorus - it doesnt fit for me
+Piotrek Podsiadło loved that you said that. makes me love it even more! cause it makes so much sense to me
Ja ten utwór poznałem w audycji Makaka Szarłackiego w dawnym radiu 94.0. Motyw z never came leciał u niego w tle audycji :-)

word. josh tends to be the one chasing ive noticed..esp in i cant quit u baby haha
@timmyctc you made 1 person dislike this video by saying that.
The guitar confuses the wild Josh Homme.
cos a fan painted it
I never came = blue balls
what a weird song o_o
Stonishing lyric
