”Slut-kiss girls won’t you promise her smack
Is she pretty on the inside
Is she pretty from the back”
Rock
Genesis – Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
Riippuvuudesta ja siitä irti pääsemisestä.
”I’m coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it’s alright
Like a load on your back that you can’t see, ooh but it’s alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me.”
Mike Doughty – Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well
Lyriikat voivat kuvata taistelua riippuvuutta vastaan.
”Oh all the days
That I have run
I sought to lose that cloud that’s blacking out the sun
My train will come
Some one day soon
And when it comes I’ll ride it bound from night to noon.
Aimless days,
Uncool ways
Of decathecting
Painless phase,
Blacked out thoughts
You be rejecting.”
The Creation – How Does It Feel to Feel
En välttämättä suoranaisesti löydä tästä mitään huumeviittauksia, mutta tämäkin on mainittu huumebiisiksi. Osaako joku sanoa, että miksi?
”How does it feel when the day is over
How does it feel when the dark comes down
How does it feel when your room is a black sea
How does it feel when you’re scared by the dark
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel to feel
How does it feel when a shadow moves you
How does it feel rushes by your bed
How does it feel when it finally holds you
How does it feel when you’re thinking your dead”
Blur – The Universal
”It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go”
Blur – Beetlebum
”Beetlebum
What you’ve done
She’s a gun
Now what you’ve done
Beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum just get numb
Now what you’ve done
Beetlebum”
Biisin on yleisesti oletettu kertovan heroiinin tai LSD:n käytöstä.
The Bicycle Thief – Cereal Song
”Heroin
Heroin
And cocaine
And cocaine
I loved them both
But they took my life
They took my friends
They won’t give ‘em back
Well I want ‘em back
Give ‘em back now
And what has it gotten me
Just some teeth I can’t chew
My favorite cereal with”
Heroiini ja kokaiini vei kaverit ja hampaat, joten enää ei voi syödä lempimuroja.
The Amboy Dukes – Journey to the Center of the Mind
Päänsisäistä matkustelua.
The Allman Brothers Band – All Night Train
”Last night sorta got so insane,
as I went ridin’ on the all night train.
Took it down the street and around the block,
took it downtown baby where the big boys rock.
Roll on, roll on,
take me where I can ease my pain.”
Ween – Mutilated Lips
Trippailua.
U2 – Bad
Kertoo heroiiniriippuvuudesta.
