New Model Army - Heroin Lyrics
He said - come on now little darling, if you love me like you sayYou can just lie there and sniff the smoke, you don't have to use your veinAnd you knew all the stories, but this sweet boy would never do you harmYou remember very clearly the blood with which you signedBecause the night gave you virginity was the night it took your mindThey said that you were pretty then,In the mirror now you see this worn and greasy slutCh: We only get one crack at this, we only get the onceJust four score years and ten, old friend,And yours are bleeding away with the puss that fills your veinsSo now here come your customers knocking on your doorWith the faces of stupid children who think they are something moreYou believed the lies that brought you hereSo now you pass the same lies like diseaseAnd where are all your family to lock that waiting door?And where are all your good friends to slap your stupid faceInstead you've got your little club who'll protect you, sure . . .Like they'll slit your throat for a couple of quidCh: We only get one crack at this . . .No matter how you kid yourself, well, you still know the truthJust one sweet life that's it, old friend,And yours is bleeding away with the puss that fills your veinsAnd your little son just two years old, comes crawling across the floorPast the red eviction notice that lies unopened by the doorBut they all live so far away and here . . . it's all OK . . .Stinking . . . pathetic . . . filthy . . .
