The line is blurry between 'anti-drug' songs and songs that matter of factly talk about drug addiction sucking.

This is one of about four songs by The Velvet Underground that doesn't suck.



Always loved this one by John Lennon.

The Fall - No Xmas For John Quays

Not the proper season, but unsparing in it's critique of heroin addicts.

Matt Piucci - Beautiful Fire

This solo track from Rain Parade guitarist Piucci (which Rain Parade has perfomed live) seems vagurly anti-drug, though to Piucci it might be abut gardening or about how the Paisley Underground scene was misrepresented in the media. Hard to say. Regardless, it's a good song:

"I once knew a man who lived up the road/he couldn't come in from the cold/with his head full of mush and his eyes full of light (?)/he was riding on the light of a dying high"
