Mansun – Skin Up Pin Up Lyrics 5 years ago
The song is a string of references about various drugs. I don't know everything, but here are what some of the slang translates to:

skin-up = Weed
The sniffing references = Cocaine/Meth
amphetamine = Meth
kissing = metaphor for coke and heroin usage used in a lot of UK music including Seal's Kiss from a Rose and New Order's The Perfect Kiss.
All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage
Straight up my nose = cocaine
Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone is also slang for cocaine. Also, right after the straight up my nose line.
Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack.
Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke

@[pijuyo:33783] The song is about drug use.
skin-up = rolling weed (maybe crack in early 90s slang?)
The sniffing references = cocaine and meth
amphetamine probably a reference to meth.
kissing = metaphor used in British music for cocaine and heroin usage (Seal's Kiss from a rose, New Order's The Perfect Kiss).
All consuming self inducing = Powerful drug usage
Straight up my nose = cocaine or meth
Pick up a lady = Pick up cocaine or crack.
Tin foil in waiting = smoking crack/coke is done off foil.
Skeletina = Seems like a weird reference to cocaine = a female skeleton referencing the earlier slang, and also bone is also slang for cocaine. He adds "

Going over the song, if it's about one drug in particular, I'd say cocaine.
