Meaning
This is the drug user's eternal complaint: honestly, I ain't hurtin' nobody. People have been yelling "legalize it" for decades; Steve Marriott complicated the discussion just a weetad in this song, mixing the relatively harmless highs of pot and hash with the nastier tones of coke and heroin, with their much harder rep for seriously messing people up. His reference to "borstal" makes one wonder exactly what age he started but it was probably early; Marriott had a reputation as a tough in his school days which his small stature (he was about 5'4") made both tough to maintain, and, likely, imperative (didn't we all know somebody like that in school? I sure did). Nobody could squeeze more power out of a small songbox than Marriott; this song offers but a taste (try the live version of "Don't Need No Doctor" for a real tour de force, and "Black Coffee" for a really tasteful blues turn).

Seeds and dust
Remember the Doonesbury cartoon? "Seeds! A DEALER...!" Tossing one's hands in the air on getting nailed for something lying about that says one might have it, not for anything bad anyone ever does on it (I mean, does anyone, ever?)

Newcastle Brown
And of course all of us have heard "coals to Newcastle," used as a metaphor for giving something the receiver sure doesn't need (coal town in England, not known for mining it but for the monopoly on *receiving* it, hence the uselessness of trying to get in on that action oneself).

Newcastle Brown
I know, I thought this was the popular British beer brand too, and was thinking Steve, you weenie, but no, this is heroin, also known as brown or of course smack (hinted in the lyric "it'll sure smack ya down."

bust
Word has it that this isn't "bust on" but "borstal," the English equivalent of the US "juvee" (juvenile detention). It's called that for the town in which the first one was established: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borstal
