Song/lyrics - High Street Blues

[Essence of Winter]

A light-hearted song/lyrics about my experiences using OTC drugs such as codeine, dihydrocodeine, kaolin + morphine and DXM.


_High Street Blues_

When I'm down and feeling sad
It ain't the best stuff to be had
But I know at least this shit is pure
Out on the street, you can't be sure

I go to the chemist for a bottle of pills
With the right dosage it cures all my ills
It might take time to filter a brew
But I know I'll feel good once I am through

I'm on a mission, don't get in my way
Doing my shopping while they're open to-day
You know it ain't called the High Street for nothin'
Think I'm gonna go and get me some tussin

I get my kicks from a bottle of fix
The more I sip, the more I trip
Robo's good but when I get DHC
That's the one that hits the spot for me

If there's one good usage for medicinal clay
It's that skimming off the top gets you feeling okay
Twenty em gees ain't a powerful hit
But it is worth the wait and you won't need to shit

I'm on a mission, don't get in my way
Doing my shopping while they're open to-day
You know it ain't called the High Street for nothin'
Think I'm gonna go and get me some tussin

It's been a while, got that three-day itch
But the woman at the counter is being a bitch
She takes her finger and points to the door
'Cos she knows I bought the same thing twice before

It ain't always easy but it's always cheap
Though most of the pharmacists think I'm a creep
But when I come calling, some of them smile
'Cos they know what I know is how to get high
