What's songs do you know Reference Cannabis?

[StClone]

This song blew my mind!

I heard it once back in '69 and just recently identified it with the help of a Duer bigmonkey.

Sample sound --> http://www.mp3.com/albums/5008/summary.html


Lyrics:

Donovan Leitch - Barabajagal
Album - Barabajagal Date: 08/11/1969

She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now.
She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.
Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star.
Multi colour run down over your body,
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot truth is molten.
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang

3. "Got To Get You Into My Life" - The Beatles (Paul)

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
could see another kind of mind there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't hide
You know i wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Ooo, you were meant to be near me
Ooo, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
could see another kind of mind there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day

"Another Day" by McCarteny


Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath S E Wets Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel Around Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
Ah, It's Just Another Day.

At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
Lt's Just Another Day.

Ay
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five,
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

Ay
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath She Wets Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel Around Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.

Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pockets Of Her Raincoat.

Ah, It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

[AntiCoup2K4]

56. Well if you wanna bring rap references into it....

...how about a whole album about the subject?

[SHRED]

7. Many

Here is one I think that is.
An old '60's song by The Association:

Along Comes Mary

Everytime I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
And does she wanna give me kicks, and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she wanna set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much, when told that such a tender touch of hers
Will make them not the same

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed and flaccid kids
Are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary
And does she wanna see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes, reflect the lies, and make them realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch

[virgdem]

8. One toke over the line

eom

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. LOL I know the guy that wrote that song

He now goes by Nick Gravenitis and is up in the Sonoma area.

[virgdem]

21. If you would be so kind as to jog the memory of an aging boomer..

what was the name of the group that sang the song. I remember the lyrics, but for the life of me, cannot remember the name of the group. Groan -another pre-senior moment.

[last_texas_dem]

23. Brewer and Shipley

The album it's from is pretty good, too.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

38. Yeah it is a good album..he also wrote some stuff for

Black Flag and Quicksilver MEssenger Service...remember them?

[last_texas_dem]

44. That's cool

I have a couple Quicksilver Messenger Service albums and like their stuff. It's sad that they seem to be forgotten by most today.

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. The Streets - "The Irony Of It All"

Hello, Hello. My names Terry and I'm a law abider
There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer
And when the weekends here I exercise my right
To get paralytic and fight
Good bloke fairly
But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny
Bounce 'em round like bunnies
I'm likely to cause mischief
Good clean grief you must believe and I ain't no thief.
Law abiding and all, all legal.
And who cares about my liver when it feels good
What you need is some real manhood.
Rasher Rasher Barney and Kasha putting peoples backs up.
Public disorder, I'll give you public disorder.
I down eight pints and run all over the place
Spit in the face of an officer
See if that bothers you cause I never broke a law in my life
Someday I'm gonna settle down with a wife
Come on lads lets have another fight

Eh, hello. My names Tim and I'm a criminal,
In the eyes of society I need to be in jail
For the choice of herbs I inhale.
This ain't no wholesale operation
Just a few eighths and a Playstation's my vocation
I pose a threat to the nation
And down the station the police hold no patience
Let's talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes and think about Einstein
And Carl Jung And old kung fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please
Yeah I'm floating on thin air.
Going to Amsterdam in the New Year - top gear there
Cause I taker pride in my hobby
Home made bongs using my engineering degree
Dear Leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons.

Like I was saying to him.
I told him: "Top with me and you won't leave."
So I smacked him in the head and downed another Carling
Bada Bada Bing for the lad's night.
Mad fight, his face's a sad sight.
Vodka and Snake Bite.
Going on like a right geez, he's a twat,
Shouldn't have looked at me like that.
Anyway I'm an upstanding citizen
If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.
Can't stand crime either them hooligans on heroin.
Drugs and criminals those thugs on the penny coloured will be the downfall of society
I've got all the anger pent up inside of me.

You know I don't see why I should be the criminal
How can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal
And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol
I just completed Gran Tourismo on the hardest setting
We pose no threat on my settee
Ooh the pizza's here will someone let him in please
"We didn't order chicken, Not a problem we'll pick it out
I doubt they meant to mess us about
After all we're all adults, not louts."
As I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people
We're not the ones out there causing trouble.
We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters
Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.
MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the morning.
Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime.

Causing trouble, you're stinking rabble
Boys saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it
You're on drugs it really bugs me
when people try and tell me I'm a thug
Just for getting drunk
I like getting drunk
Cause I'm an upstanding citizen
If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.

Now Terry you're repeating yourself
But that's okay drunk people can't help that.
A chemical reaction inside your brain
causes you to forget what you're saying.

What. I know exactly what I'm saying
I'm perfectly sane
You stinking student lameo
Go get a job and stop robbing us of our taxes.

Err, well actually according to research
Government funding for further education pales in insignificance
When compared to how much they spend on repairing
Leery drunk people at the weekend
In casualty wards all over the land.

Why you cheeky little swine come here
I'm gonna batter you! Come here!

[driver8]

17. "Burn one Down" -- Ben Harper

[opiate69]

18. A couple obvious ones..

Sweet Leaf- Black Sabbath

A Passage to Bangkok- Rush
"Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East,
Fly by morning light

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best"

[Hillary08]

62. Yeah, Sweetleaf

immedidately jumps to mind.

[da_chimperor]

19. "hits from the bong" by Cypress Hill

:smoke:

[On the Road]

20. My Fave is Definitely This One by Jefferson Airplane:

Mexico
(Grace Slick)

Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
Come to the Poet's Room
Talking about the problems of the leaf,
And yes, it'll be back soon

There used to be tons of gold and green
Comin' up here from Mexico
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
(Translation: "Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun?")

But Mexico is under the thumb
Of a man we call Richard
And he's come to call himself king
But he's a small-headed man
And he doesn't know a thing
About how to deal for you

How to deal for you
There are millions of you now
I mean it's not as if you were alone
There are brothers everywhere
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
And God knows how far it can go

But thanks Uncle Charlie
For your Mexican smoke
You're a legend Owsley
For your righteous dope

There were a half a million people on the lawn
And we sang to the faces in the dark
How long must that damn race
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
How long must the Panther race
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
And no no no no no nobody waits

[mcscajun]

22. "Am I High?" -- Asleep at the Wheel

Had the album once — can't find it anywhere. The lyric is nowhere online, the album appears out of print. It's like the band just wants to disavow their own past.

:(

[StClone]

29. Wow, you are right but I found this

http://www.virus-bs.ch/lyr/dlyridx.htm

[HeeBGBz]

Mister Customs Man"

I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last."

"I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more."

28. Champagne N' Reefer by Muddy Waters

Lyrics:
Bring me champagne when im thirsty
Bring me reefer when i want to get high

Bring me champagne when im thirsty
Bring me reefer when i want to get high

Dont you know when im lonely
Bring my woman,
Set her right down on my side

You know it shouldnt be against the law
If people just wanna smoke a little dope
You know it shouldnt be against the law,
People just wanna smoke a little dope

Cause its good for your head
And it relax the body, dont you know

Man im wanna get so high
Well so high i gotta rest my head
In my baby's breasts

Said i gotta get so high (so high)
So high gotta rest my head on my baby...

????... my girl, said see her.....???
????

Gotta get so high (get so high)
Sho'nuff its my very own right

Gotta get so high (get so high)
Heyyyy sho'nuff its my very own way

I wanna stick to my reefer
Ain't gonna mess around with no cocaine.

[steely]

30. John Prine's 'Illegal Smile' - I love this song

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

[last_texas_dem]

31. "The Pusher"

by Steppenwolf

"A Day in the Life" by the Beatles (the middle-eight bit about "having a smoke", allegedly)

I'd never thought about "Got to Get You Into My Life" or "Another Day" being drug songs, but that's an interesting theory.

[Bitter Betty]

32. Smoke Two Joints

I believe the artist is the Toys. A local radio station plays that song every Friday at 5pm. Pretty cool! :smoke:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

59. i thought that was sublime

maybe they did another one with those words in it.

[Kat45]

33. Gonna Get High, High, High - Paul McCartney & Wings

[last_texas_dem]

36. Good one

I could never figure out if that song was about drugs, sex, or both, but I'm kinda dense when it comes to that stuff...

[BurtWorm]

34. Give Me a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer--Bessie Smith

Stone me 'cause I just don't care.

(Pigfoot = reefer)

[BurtWorm]

37. My Collie

I first heard it from The Selector, a ska revival band in the early 1980s, but it was done by someone else first (I'm too lazy to go lookin' now, mon.)

"Smokin' can seriously damage your brain."

[BurtWorm]

41. Legalize It

By Peter Tosh.

[BurtWorm]

Kaya

Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
For the rain is falling

Got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
Got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

I feel so high, I even touch the sky
Above the falling rain
I feel so good in my neighborhood
So here I come again

I got to have kaya now, got to have kaya now
I got to have kaya now, for the rain is falling

Get up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose
Wake up and turn I loose for the rain is falling
Well kayaman, kaya, kaya

[Kat45]

35. One Draw - Rita Marley

I wanna get high, so high

One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw

Hey rastaman, hey what you say
Give mi some of yu sense
Hey iyah man, hey whatta say

Searching for a taste

To satisfy my mind
So I came to search for the I
To see what the I could do
And just like I said
You send it straight to my head

I'm feeling high, so high
Yes I'm high, so high
One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw
Hey rastaman, hey what you say
Give yu sister some sense

Give mi some riddim mek mi dance

And I am in a dancing mood
Won't you come and rock with me

And now I'm high
Yes I'm high, high, high, so high
One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw.

39. The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic - Jamie Brockett

According to this tale, it factored into the Titanic hitting the iceberg. :-)

[donheld]

40. Pass the Dutchie

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

[clovis29]

46. Hotel California

"warm smell of colijis"=MJ

[Haole316]

48. Hits from the Bong......Cypress Hill very subtle

[last_texas_dem]

49. "Zig-Zag" by the Ohio Express

Alright, I'm not being totally serious here, but who knows... this is the psychedelic, instrumental-played-backwards to the bubblegum hit "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy." Played it for one of my friends once and was told the title could be a reference to weed- a type of paper it's rolled with. I'm a goody-goody, so didn't know...

"Reflections from the Looking-Glass" by the 1910 Fruitgum Co. (b-side to "Simon Says") is most definitely a drug song if I ever heard one. But it's actually a very good psychedelic song, if you can get past the fact that it's by the 1910 Fruitgum Co. :-)

And just think, parents thought all these bubblegum groups were so innocent... From the sexual symbolism in "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" and "Chewy, Chewy" to the drugged-out flipsides... haha

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. Cheech and Chong's classic "Up In Smoke"

[mcscajun]

51. "The Free Mexican Airforce" — Peter Rowan

How strange that an innocent herb causes money to burn
The day will kill you for making those rich fat cats squirm
but the fools who make rules with no difference between wrong or right
that's why the free Mexican airforce is flying tonight...


http://www.peter-rowan.com/

[welshTerrier2]

53. great song ... he wrote Panama Red too ...

i've seen Peter Rowan in concert at Passim's in Cambridge, MA ... it's getting to be a long, long time ago ...

that's another good one for this list ... he played (and wrote) Panama Red ...

[musette_sf]

52. Long Comma Viper

aka Long Come A Viper
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks

lyric sample:

Long come a chick
Come a little dolly
She's out walkin' a big fat collie
"Golly Miss Molly
You're lookin' mighty jolly"
"There ain't nothing left
And I'm really mighty sorry"

[6000eliot]

55. "Along Comes Mary"

"Last Dance with Maryjane"

[VeniceBeat]

57. "Mr. Farmer" by The Seeds

Top Forty, Man!

Dig:


See the farmer on the other side of town
He's always working hard 'til the sun goes down
He's up every morning right on five, a wanting green seeds just to come alive,
But he don't wear a no farm clothes, he's always using a rake and hoe,
But his seeds are starting to grow, like a big stalk up through the sky

He used to live in an apartment in a big old city
With thick and priestly windows built right in it
But he decided to move to a little tiny town
He wanted to be a farmer all year round
And on a country road where you can't see a thing
He's got five acres filled little green things, he said
He's working so hard all night and day

Mr. Farmer let me watch your crops
Mr. Farmer let me water your crops
Mr. Farmer let me harvest your crops
I want to have a dream come true
I said a farmer, farmer, farmer
I want to be just like you

See the farmer a walking down town, always draws a crowd when he's around
He's always wearing seedy clothes, he's shows them off whereever he goes
You can spot him anywhere, got a bright pink thumb but he don't care,
I said, he looks like something from a very bad dream

Mr. Farmer let me watch your crops
Mr. Farmer let me water your crops
Mr. Farmer let me harvest your crops
Mr. Farmer let me save your crops

I said, a farmer, farmer, farmer...

[orleans]

58. David Peel & the Lower East Side
