• A-side_ My friend Jack

One of the greatest banned British singles of the 1966-1967 period, the Smoke's "My Friend Jack" was pulled off the U.K. market due to the drug connotations in the line "eats sugar lumps" (LSD).

My friend Jack eats sugar lumps
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps
Sugar man hasn't got a care

He's been traveling everywhere
Been on a voyage
Acros san ocean
Heard the sweet sound
Of wheels in motion
He's seen the hawk fly high
To hail the settin' sun

My friend Jack eats sugar lumps
My friend Jack eats sugar lumps
Sugar man hasn't got a care

He's been travelling everywhere
He's seen the people
In the city
And the bright lights
Look awful pretty
He's followed dusty tracks
Into eternity

Eating sugar cane in Cuba
Tried to grow it in Japan
On the West Coast he's really famous
Kids all call him sugar man

My friend Jack eats sugar lumps ...
