Marmalade Lyrics
Marmalade, sunny days, drugs make me wanna sit next to you.
Doctors floating to and fro... silverfish is on the go.
I'm in rapture, I'm in deep, all I want to do is sleep.
The sky enclose me, I'm going down.
Marmalade marmalade, don't try to find me, don't try to pull me out, my marmalade.
Marmalade marmalade, make me so happy, make me forget my name, my marmalade.
My marmalade...
Duck pond memories pass me by, paddle boats and cherry pie.
Wet eyelashes look inside... droplets gather in your eye.
Day and hours melt away, Dolly says I'm here to stay.
It's hard to care, the mist comes down.
Marmalade marmalade,
Tell me a story,
Help me forget
I'm gone,
My marmalade
Marmalade marmalade,
Hide me somewhere,
Carry me somewhere,
My marmalade.
Marmalade marmalade,
You're the devil,
You're half empty now,
My marmalade.
My marmalade...
Doctors floating to and fro... silverfish is on the go.
I'm in rapture, I'm in deep, all I want to do is sleep.
The sky enclose me, I'm going down.
Marmalade marmalade, don't try to find me, don't try to pull me out, my marmalade.
Marmalade marmalade, make me so happy, make me forget my name, my marmalade.
My marmalade...
Duck pond memories pass me by, paddle boats and cherry pie.
Wet eyelashes look inside... droplets gather in your eye.
Day and hours melt away, Dolly says I'm here to stay.
It's hard to care, the mist comes down.
Marmalade marmalade,
Tell me a story,
Help me forget
I'm gone,
My marmalade
Marmalade marmalade,
Hide me somewhere,
Carry me somewhere,
My marmalade.
Marmalade marmalade,
You're the devil,
You're half empty now,
My marmalade.
My marmalade...

This is a text book "heroin" song. The first line says it all. Marmalade is a metaphor for the writers drug of choice which is most probably an opiate or a sedative hypnotic commonly found in the benzodiazapine drug family. I imagine that the songwriter has intimate knowledge especially considering the line "do't try to find me, don't try to pull me out, my marmalade", As a songwriter and recovering addict myself I can empathize strongly with the imagery in this song. The illusion of sentimentality and the refusal to acknowledge much more than remorse for her past is also an indicator.
