Mana Mana – Liisa

Liisa hieman trippailee.

”Metallin makua
Minä tunnen sen
Ilman värinää
Olen nähnyt ennenkin
Värejä
Minä sekoitan ne
Ääniä
Minä sekoitan ne

Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee
Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee”

Suede – Animal Nitrate

Biisi kertoo poppersien (amyylinitraatit tai butyylinitriitit) käytöstä. Poppersien sanotaan toimivan varsinkin seksistimulantteina ja usein ne liitetään homoihin.

”Like his dad you know that he’s had
Animal nitrate in mind,
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you’re taking it time after time

Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal’s gone?

Well he said he’d show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile,
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you’re taking it time after time”

T. Rex – Telegram Sam

Telegram Sam viitannee Marc Bolanin manageriin, joka esitteli Bolanin ja kokaiinin toisillee.

”Telegram Sam
Telegram Sam
You are my main man
Golden nose slim
Golden nose slim
I knows where you ’bin
Purple Pie Pete
Purple Pie Pete
Your lips are like lightening
Girls melt in the heat, yeah”

Crosby, Stills & Nash – Marrakesh Express

Biisi nojaa Nashin junamatkaan Casablancasta Marrakeshiin, Marokkoon vuonna 1966. Matka meni ihmeitä katsellen ja pilveä poltellen.

”Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they’ve led
Listen not to what’s been said to you

Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
They’re taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train”

The 69 Eyes – Tang

”Hey you uptown jam-house mama
Such a superfly
Days go in dusty dreams
Nights with Doctor White
C-jams in Cadillacs
Help you to get your wings tonite
Number 3 takes to paradise
With the genuine snowbird eyes

I could see really easily
You got a monkey on your back
You ain�t no better than a rat on crack
I could see really easily
Your tang is hungry
So hungry for that
Nose-candy, nose-candy”

Kertoo naisesta joka käyttää mm. nenäkarkkiahan eli kokaiinia.

Oasis – Morning Glory

”All your dreams are made
When you’re chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today’s the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn’t know too soon
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind”

Biisi kertonee kokaiiniriippuvuudesta. Aine ei suinkaan tainnut olla vieras Gallagherin veljeksille.

NOFX – Drugs are Good

”Drugs are good, they let you do things that you know you not should.
And when you do ’em people think that you’re cool.”

Hmm… huumeiden käyttämisen vastuuttomuus ja coolius. Mielenkiintoiset sanat. Ehkä hieman sarkasmia joukossa :-D
