I never knew Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds meant...

In the Beatles song where they sing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds I never knew that they were referring to the drug LSD. Now my co-worker thinks I'm strange. 😕

What other obscure song lyrics refer to drugs or other illegal activities that are worded a special way?

Wow, welcome to poetry 101. Lucy refers to LSD I think.

hydroponic references in music by 311 refer to pot. That's kinda obvious though.
 
Oh man the references to drugs in music are endless and range from the blatantly obvious to the relatively obscure... I think "Rollin on a River" ie. "proud Mary keep on burnin'" would be a popular one.

Just think of the amount of crap some of the rockers & musicians have pumped into their body. It's no wonder that some of the songs are based on it.

We need the little mosher guy icon for this thread.. ehhe
 
"Hits from the bong," IMO, refers to people smoking marijuana out of a water pipe. I gathered this opinion from some of the artists' other songs such as the one entitled, "I Want to get High."
 
"See, I think drugs have done some *good* things for us, I really do.
And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a
favor: Go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all
your cd's and burn em'. Cause you know what? The musicians who've made
all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years...
RRRRRRRRRRRRReal fvckin high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy
condensed into a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness
[experiencing itself subjectively], there is no such thing death, life is
only a dream, and we are just an imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with
the weather

It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is,
ok? Keep that in mind at all times."

See if you can get the drugs references in "The Magic Roundabout".
Then try harder things like music.
Work your way up.
 
:music:When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.:music:
