Heroin
(Sullivan/Joolz)
He said - come on now little darling
If you love me like you say
You can just lie there and sniff the smoke
You don't have to use your vein
And you knew all the stories
But this sweet boy would never do you harm
You remember very clearly
The blood with which you signed
Cos the night gave you virginity
Was the night it took your mind
They said that you were pretty then
In the mirror now you see this worn and greasy slut
Ch:
We only get one crack at this
We only get the once
Just four score years and ten old friend
And yours are bleeding away
With the puss that fills your veins
So now here come your customers
Knocking on your door
With the faces of stupid children
Who think they are something more
You believed the lies that brought you here
So now you pass the same lies like disease
And where are all your family
To lock that waiting door?
And where are all your good friends
To slap your stupid face
Instead you've got your little club
Who'll protect you, sure . . .
Like they'll slit your throat
For a couple of quid
Ch:
We only get one crack at this . . .
And no matter how you kid yourself
Well you still know the truth
Just one sweet life that's it old friend
And yours is bleeding away
With the puss that fills your veins
And your little son just two years old
Comes crawling across the floor
Past the red eviction notice
That lies unopened by the door
But they all live so far away
And here . . . it's all OK . . .
Stinking . . . pathetic . . . filthy . . .
