I used to have this song, Girl on LSD. It was a b-side on a single and I can't remember which one. I want that song again but I can not find it. Is it still available? Where?

Apparently that song has a Wiki page of its own now.
_______________________________________________________ Girl on LSD" was a song written and recorded by Tom Petty. The song was released only as the B-side to Petty's hit single "You Don't Know How It Feels," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks. Petty originally intended for "Girl on LSD" to appear on his 1994 album Wildflowers, but the track was removed by Warner Bros. because it was "too controversial." In the song Petty sings about being in love with multiple girls on different drugs: marijuana, cocaine, LSD, beer, china white (a slang term for heroin) and coffee. In the chorus Petty states: "Through ecstasy, crystal meth and glue/I found no drug compares to you/all these pills, all this weed/I dunno just what I need." The last verse refers to him being in love with a dealer ("I was afraid somebody come and steal her"). At the end of the song, Tom Petty speaks in a sarcastic tone, saying, "Sure as hell, she got popped by the big guys." This either refers to her being arrested by authority figures or killed by other more influential dealers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_on_LSD  ************************************** Blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits (Bo Diddley) |

Thanks for the info. It is one of the funniest songs ever. I wish I had it again but at least now I can prove I'm not the one on LSD. He doesn't remember the song from his childhood and now being a huge TP fan he kinda didn't believe the song exists.
I still quote the line: I was in love with a girl on L.S.D, she's she things I couldn't see |

Here's another one from the summer tour, where the audio sounds a bit better. they have added some pictures to the song, and I can't tell if I like it or not. I bit creative though, I will say.
