Cocaine
Gin Wigmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She had a cocaine house on cocaine hill
Had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat
Even had a cocaine rat
And it's all around my brain
Been walking around 10th Street and Main
I′ve been looking for a girlie to give me cocaine
I've been strolling round 10th Street and Main
I′ve been looking for someone to give me cocaine
Cocaine′s sure running round my brain
Well, Cocaine Lil and Morphine Sue
They've been strolling down the avenue two by two
Says Lil to Sue, ′It's gonna do no harm
If we both have a little old shot in the arm′
And it's all around my veins
Doctor tell me again and again
He say, ′Cocaine's forces ain't for men′
Cocaine′s sure running round my brain
You know the doctor tell me again and again
He say, 'Cocaine′ll kill you son, it won't say when′
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
There′s a story about Cocaine Lil
She had a cocaine house on cocaine hill
Had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat
Even had a cocaine rat
And it's all around my brain
Yonder's baby, she′s dressed in white
I said, ′Hey now mama, gonna stay all night'
Cocaine′s sure running round my brain
Oh now there runs my baby, she's all dressed in black
You know, you know I didn′t, I didn't mean that no,
Cocaine′s sure running round my brain
Hey baby, please come quick
This old cocaine is making me sick
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
The song "Cocaine" by Gin Wigmore tells the story of Cocaine Lil, a notorious figure who had a house on a hill dedicated exclusively to cocaine. Lil had cocaine pets, including a dog, a cat, and even a rat, and the drug's influence permeated everything around her. The singer of the song is also under the influence of cocaine, as he walks around 10th Street and Main, looking for someone to provide him with a fix. He encounters Lil and her friend Morphine Sue, who convince him to try a "little old shot in the arm." The song's chorus repeats the haunting refrain that cocaine is running around his brain.
The lyrics of this song suggest that the singer is likely addicted to cocaine, and he struggles to break free from its hold. He knows that cocaine is not good for him, as his doctor continually reminds him, but he cannot resist its pull. The references to Cocaine Lil and her house of cocaine serve as a reminder of the drug's destructive power, showing that it can take over one's life completely. The final verses of the song introduce the theme of relationships affected by cocaine, with the singer trying to woo a woman dressed in white while under the drug's influence, and then feeling remorseful as she leaves in black. Overall, "Cocaine" is a cautionary tale that warns of the dangers of drug addiction, and the challenges of overcoming its hold.
