Song I wrote in my teens about my obsession with smoking weed and listening to the music that enhanced the experience. Produced on Tascam 8 track. Written, performed and produced by Laurence Wilson
I write and produce my own material on 8 track studio. I play all the instruments unless otherwise specified.
Story behind the song
Wrote this when I was 19. It's about being into smoking cannabis and listening to drug music.
Lyrics
Smoke (short version)
Lazy, smoking my spliff, listen to a riff by...
the late great Jimi Hendrix.
Waiting for a social benefit to arrive.
Hazy
Smoking my cone, listen to the tone from...
A murdered John Lennon.
Waiting for a number seven bus to go by.
Nobody needs nobody, everybody needs somebody,
Nobody knows the answers,
to life and love and living in the Universe
And of course, of course,
It is so absurd, have you heard,
that the chosen words, has been disturbed.
Nobody needs nobody, nobody needs somebody
Nobody knows the answers, lately.
Well, I've got a trumpet, blow it, blow it.
I've got a trumpet, I bought it today.
Well, I've got a trumpet, blow it, blow it.
I've got a trumpet; it'll blow you away.
Crazy, smoking my bong, listen to a song by....
A long-lost Syd Barrett.
Drinking in the claret of his wine.
Words and music by Laurence Wilson
All instruments and vocals, Laurence Wilson.
