Illegal Smile - John Prine

"But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun"

nicely put....

"Granny takes a trip"- The Purple Gang. Though they denied it, it was still banned.

What is it about the words "in disguise" that you lot don't understand? I would have said that virtually everything quoted here contains fairly explicit drug references.

I can't think of any off hand - "My Friend Jack Eats Sugar Lumps" maybe - who was that by?
