Thread Name: BS: Is Pot Smoking a 'Folk' thing to do?
Subject: Lyr Add: POT SONG (Jeremy Taylor)

With the topicality of this thread, I think it's time to hear from Jeremy Taylor on the vexatious subject.

POT SONG
Jeremy Taylor

I smoke a lot of pot, man,
It helps me to keep sane.
I sometimes have a shot of cocaine.
Just a little puff,
Helps me to unwind.
And when I've had enough
Oh, I really blow my mind.
Ring a Ring 'o' roses, a pocket full of pot,
Hash and cannabis resin, I've smoked the lot.

(spoken)
Now a lot of people ask me why I smoke the stuff. The mari-ju-ana or 'old bedsocks' as it's sometimes known. Well, the fact is, man, I'll smoke anything.

(sung)
Now hash a bye my baby, high on the tree top,
When the wind blows your mind, you'll be safe on pot.

(spoken)
One thing it has done for me now, I must say, it has broadened my 'percepteral' horizons. I mean, that hole in the ceiling that lets the rain in used to be just a hole, but now it's a whole scene, man, you know, it's way out, and groovy, and still lets the bloody rain in.

(sung)
My vision is amazing; I can make things fit.
People see me gazing and say I'm a stupid twit!
But I'm thankful to The Times, for helping our campaign
To legalise can-ar-bis, and help me to keep sane
