My mum reliabley informs me quite regularly that most of the Album "Sargent Pepper" and "Rubber Soul" by the Bealtes was in ref to drugs. I should think a lot of 60's and 70's songs have hidden references if you look close enough.
The Darkness have a few songs you could look at on their 'permission to land' album.

Well, Motorhead are named after speed really, Motorhead is the equivalent American slang to our Speed-Freak.
And after all, Lemmy loves his speed (Just read his Autobiography, so its still fresh in my mind)
