    Free: "Sail On" (from the 1972 album Free at Last):

    Lyrics

    Sail on my brother
    Sail on through the night
    Sail on my sister
    Sail on through the night

    Beautiful as the day is long
    Beautiful as the day is long

    Sail on your troubles
    Sail on through your doubts
    Sail on your worries
    Sail on soon you'll work it out

    Beautiful as the day is long
    Beautiful as the day is long

    I've always been a believer
    In the good things of life
    But they don't all come wrapped in cellophane
    And they don't always seem to turn out right
    They don't always seem to turn out right
    But sometimes they do, yeah, yeah

    I've always been a believer
    In the good things of life
    But they don't all come wrapped in cellophane
    And they don't always seem to turn out right
    No, no, no
    They don't always seen to turn out right

    The Fugs - "Saran Wrap". Much of the lyrics probably wouldn't pass muster here. Let's just say you can use it on prom night. :biglaugh:

    Not listed as one of the requested substances, but it's in the family, and someone else has already mentioned foil...so:

    "Chelsea Girls" – Nico

    Here's Room 506
    It's enough to make you sick
    Bridget's all wrapped up in foil
    You wonder if
    She can uncoil
    Here they come now
    See them run now
    Here they come now
    Chelsea Girls

    Status Quo - Sunny Cellophane Skies. I'm actually surprised no one's mentioned it already.

    "Life Goes Off" by Jim O'Rourke. I assume "Handi-Wrap" is kind of like cling film?

    You used to be quite content with your shower cap
    But I guess now I know you feel much more at home
    With a case of Handi-Wrap

    You'd hold your own
    If you thought that it was clean
    At least give me some gloves to wear
    Or a picture of St. Augustine

    If I were to die with these things on
    Can't say I didn't try

    I'd think that you would try to find something to do
    With my old school tie
    That doesn't turn my skin blue

    Is it hot in here, or do I feel a little draft
    From these pants that you brought for me to wear
    The ones that have no back

    If I were to die with these things on
    You might want to try another size

    I'd take your name, if I thought it'd do me good
    If it's all the same to you
    I'll just take a look under your hood

    If you were to die with that thing on
    You could've chose a better style

    And now that you've gone off
    And all of this has passed
    I don't recall your face no more
    But you left behind your mask

    If I were to die with these things gone
    I'd be frozen with a smile

    The cellophane still on the flowers
