So, what are some of your favorite songs about the use and abuse of consciousness/perception/mood-altering chemical substances? (Alcohol included.)

One of the best is Joni Mitchell’s bleak, harrowing portrayal of heroin addiction, “Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire.”

My Drug Buddy by The Lemonheads is one of my favourites. The lyrics and mood of the song reflect my life almost exactly as it was in the early 90's.
 
One of my all-time favourite songs is "The Drinking Song" by Moxy Fruvous. Very affecting and somewhat bittersweet.

"Ever notice how drinking's like war?
Cup of troops over the gums,
A campaign 'gainst myself, to the end of my health,
Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums"
 
let's see

* Golden brown by The Stranglers
* Perfect day by Lou Reed
* Under the bridge by Red Hot Chili peppers
* Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen
* Mr. Brownstone by Guns'N'Roses
* Pass the Koutchie by The Mighty Diamonds
 
"Geek Stink Breath" by Green Day, which is not (as the music video suggests) about dentistry. :devil:

"I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line"
 
Even though it’s been cheapened by being turned into an anthem for his “Parrothead” fans, Jimmy Buffett’s serio-comic ballad “Margaritaville” is a classic.
