Not really. What song do you think is?

It's hard to really name 1 song off such a stellar and almost perfect album....

I mean songs that fulfill the OP's request of having drug references. There are songs about dying, about flying, about money, about mental illness, about war, but about drugs?

The whole album is based on Syd Barret going crazy due to psychedelics overuse....

Still think there are more obvious choices in their catalog. "Nobody Home" springs to mind.

Syd inspired them, sure, but DSOTM is pretty universal - I think Roger said the concept was "pressures of modern life" and that's how they started putting ideas together.

That was the wall and it was the pressures of fame and being a rock star.

DSOTM was a slow slide into mental illness
