re: Lyrics to Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat"

quote:

---

Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay

I think that would cover the addiction part. Coming to you in the incense and patchouli is supposed to signify the light hearted aspect of getting started. Not that I would know.

Horse With No Name is also supposed to be a heroin tune.

People are dumbasses getting mixed up in bs like that.
