Smoking

Cigarettes, tobacco and the act of smoking, including its coded and metaphorical uses.

6
songs
From 1966 to 1968, it is in the words of six songs, and 1967 has more of them than any other year, with four. 'Got to Get You into My Life' is the earliest and 'I'm So Tired' the last. 'A Day in the Life' and 'With a Little Help from My Friends' (getting high widely read as a smoking reference) are two of them. On 'Magical Mystery Tour', the fairground call doubles as rolling a joint. On 'I Am the Walrus', choking smokers in the crowd of grotesques. Of the six, 'Magical Mystery Tour' has short bridge section, and only one other recording does.
