I don’t like cocaine at all, but I sure do like the way it smells.
Those ones I did back in '98 were pretty good.

“Manny, look at the pelican fly – come on, pelican !”
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin’ your brain
-Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five
Take my advice from the advertsising world
Treat me nice, says party girl
Coke adds life where there isn’t any, so freeze
It’s the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power
When top men need a top up long before the happy hour
[. . .]
Koka Kola advertising and cocaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper - they’re crazy!
Suit your life, maybe so
In the White House - I know
All Over Berlin (they’ve been doing it for years)
And in Manhattan!
-The Clash, Koka Kola
Bales of cocaine, fallin’ from low-flyin’ planes
I don’t know who done dropped ‘em, but I thank ‘em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin’ like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin’ planes
–The Reverend Horton Heat, Bales of Cocaine

“I’ve seen the devil and the devil is coke /
I’m not down with that ‘cause it ain’t a fuckin’ joke”
Hmmmph! I tried snorting coke once. Pert near drowned!!!
What in the world ever became of Sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine
All her friends can say is “Ain’t it a shame?”
Truckin’ - Grateful Dead
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Witchy Woman - Eagles
*When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow *

Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Snowblind - Black Sabbath
“The division seems rather unfair,” I remarked. “You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?”
“For me,” said Sherlock Holmes, “there still remains the cocaine-bottle.” And he stretched his long white hand up for it.
-Doyle, The Sign of the Four
*A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out a 10 pound bag of Cocaine
She said it was the best in all the land
And I said:
No no no no, I don’t sniff it no more
I’m tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door*
No No Song - Hoyt Axton (performed by Ringo Starr)
What does cocaine make you feel like? It makes you feel like having some more cocaine.

“Smoked a 'caine filled Kool with my man Russ Rush
saw my teeth fall in the sink when I started to brush
You be doing nose candy on the Bowie Coke mirror
my girl asked me for some but I pretended not to hear her”
Car Thief - Beasite Boys
Now I’m locked inside a stall at the cantina
Eating the bananas and the cocaine off the mirror
Looking for a ticket to take me away from here
Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow
Bananas and Blow

Cocaine habit’s mighty bad
It’s the worst ol’ habit that I ever had.
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me.
If you don’t think cocaine is good
Ask Alma Rose at Minglewood.
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
I love my whiskey and I love my gin
But the way I love my coke it’s a goddamn sin.
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me.

Take your silver spoon and dig your grave.”
