[edit] Drugs?

An analysis of the lyrics might be helpful. To the layperson they are nonsensical. Beyond the word "nosebleed," there is very little to latch on to.

I can find no definitive proof that this song is in fact about abusing inhalants. This to me seems to be OR and I will remove it unless someone can direct me to a definitive source. And the word "nosebleed" actually doesn't appear in the song... Can I psot the lyrics here for people to look at? Or does that fall outside "fair use"? Phoenix Song 02:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and post them, but I'll take them down if need be. Somethin's wrong, 'cause my mind is fadin'/ And everywhere I look, there's a dead end waitin'/ Temperatures droppin' at the rottin'(/rotten) oasis/ Stealin' kisses from the leperous faces/ Heads are hangin' from the garbage man trees/ Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline/ Pistols are pointin' at a poor man's pockets/ Smilin' eyes rip them out of their sockets/ CHORUS: Got a Devil's Haircut in my mind (etc)/ Love machines on the sympathy crutches/ Discount orgies on the dropout buses/ Hitchin' a ride with the bleeding noses/ Comin' (/come in) to town with the briefcase blues/ (CHORUS)/ Somethin's wrong 'cause my mind is fadin'/ Ghetto blastin', disentigratin'/ Rock and Roll, know what I'm sayin'?/ Everywhere I look, there's a dead end waitin'.../ Devil's Haircut! In my Mind! (etc)/ ---that's from memory, I'll correct it later if need be. THe only thing I see there tat might possibly suggest inhalants is "mind is fading" "temperatures droppin'" "gasoline" and bleeding noses. Phoenix Song 17:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Devils Haicut.jpg

Image:Devils Haicut.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
