I will get the ball rolling with one of my very favourite songs from the 1971 album by David Bowie called 'Hunky Dory'...called:

Quicksand



I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No, I ain't got the power anymore

I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry

Should I kiss the viper's fang?
Or herald loud the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
I'm living on

I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith

If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it or the next Bardo

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah


Here is the link to the song:

Pink Floyd – Dogs

“Dogs”, originally entitled “You’ve Gotta Be Crazy,” began as a sprawling jam that was turned into a multi-part suite about the sadness that occurs from trying to find your place

I Like Marijuana Lyrics​

I like marijuana
You like marijuana
We like marijuana too

Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
I like marijuana
You like marijuana
We like marijuana too

I want to be a hippie
Got to get stoned on mara-marijuana
I want to be a runaway
Got to leave home for mara-marijuana
Remember the teenie bops sniffing airplane glue
Mara-marijuana
He used to freak out in Central Park Zoo
Mara-marijuana
I wanna get high but I never knew why
Here comes a cop I've got to say goodbye for

Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana

I want to be a pusher on the Lower East Side for
Mara-marijuana
I want to be a pusher got to get you high on
Mara-marijuana
It's my life and I do what I want
Mara-marijuana
It's my life and I do what I can't
Mara-marijuana
I want to smoke pot and I want to smoke a lot
Well here comes my father the marijuana cop
Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana

High high high high high high goodbye

This is not a story
This is for real mara-marijuana
The longer the head
It's the longer in jail for mara-marijuana
Acapulco Gold and Panamanian Red
Mara-marijuana
The bigger the bank account the higher the head
Mara-marijuana
I want to get stoned and I want to be alone
But here comes my father the family is moaning

Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
Mara-marijuana mara-marijuana
I like marijuana you like marijuana
I like marijuana you like marijuana
I like marijuana you like marijuana
We like marijuana too

Bodies

Cast the pearls aside of a simple life of need
Come into my life forever
The crumbled cities stand as known
Of the sights you have been shown
Of the hurt you call your own
You know, you know
Love is suicide, love is suicide
Love is suicide, love is suicide
The empty bodies stand at rest
Casualties of their own flesh
Afflicted by their dispossession
But nobody's ever knew
Nobody's
Nobody's felt like you
Nobody's
Love is suicide, love is suicide
Love is suicide, love is, ah
Now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
You can't help deny forever
The tragedies reside in you
The secret sights hide in you
The lonely nights divide you in two, in two, in two
All my blisters now revealed
In the darkness of my dreams
In the spaces in between us
But nobody's ever knew
Nobody's
Nobody's felt like you
Nobody's
Nobody's ever knew
Nobody's
Nobody's felt like you
Nobody's
Love is suicide, love is suicide
Love is suicide, love is suicide

From holiday in Cambodia

You're a star-belly sneetch, you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch, so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you
Well, you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers 'til you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son
What you need, my son
Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
Need a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot
Pol Pot, Pol Pot
Pol Pot, Pol Pot
Pol Pot, Pol Pot
And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Pol Pot
