A thread full of drug induced song compositions

[The Modfather]

Northside - Shall we take a trip

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

Lets go for the obvious,



WHAT ! I think you are mistaken my friend.

I have it on very good authority from Hugh Cornwell that that song was about TOAST !

 

[KingKev]

Lou Reed-Perfect Day. Our wedding song!!!

Large proportion of the work from Lou / the Velvets is either about drugs or was clearly written and/or recorded whilst under the influence....Waiting for my man, Heroin, Sister Ray....

 

[BadFish]

This one is actually about Heroin

In his early days Hugh Cornwell was a research chemist and as such, freely admits doing almost every legal and illegal drug at one time or another. Consequently, most of The Stranglers back catalogue is probably written while under the influence.

 

[The Modfather]

The Small Faces - Here comes the nice

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Wasn't "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" supposed to be inspired by LSD?

Correct you win a rag doll!

 

[jakarta]

The entire Hawkwind back catalogue comes to mind - Brainstorm indeed!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Mutiny in heaven. The birthday party. Nick Cave pure genius

 

[The Modfather]

These Animal Men - Speed king

 

[Greyrun]

Nancy Sinatra,Sugartown.

 

[Kumquat]

The Sun Rising by the beloved is my particular favourite.
