Velvet Underground-Heroin

This song is incredible. I can understand all the lyrics deeply from my opiate experiences
Anyone else love this song?
Some lyrics:
I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me not, you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that In a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man can not be free Of all of the evils of this town And of himself, and those around Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off than dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jim's in this town And all the politicians makin' busy sounds And everybody puttin' everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

I love that song, but it makes me not want to do heroin. "Heroin.....be the death of me."

the song invokes mixed emotions in me. he's not saying heroin IS good, or IS bad. it just is. that's what i like about it. i feel likewise about opiates. most of the time oh i just don't know...

This song doesn't make me feel that it is Good or Bad, it makes me realize how powerful it is. "Its my wife and its my life" how many other pharmacological agents can do this?

The Velvet Underground is one of my favorite bands. Heroin is a great song, very dark and morbid. Most of their songs are about heroin, including Sister Ray, a 17 minute song where they just jam out, and Lou Reed screams that he can't find his vein. However, their song Street Hassle is probably one of the most offensive songs I've ever heard. The instrumentals are extremely strange, there's an electric violin, a bass, a cello, and Bruce Springsteen mumbles something. Very out there. The song is about what to do with some guy's girlfriend after she OD's:
But when someone turns that blue Well, its a universal truth And then you just know that bitch will never fuck again By the way, thats really some bad shit That you came to our place with But you ought to be more careful around the little girls Its either the best or its the worst And since I dont have to choose I guess I wont and I know this aint no way to treat a guest But why dont you grab your old lady by the feet And just lay her out on the darkened street And by morning, shes just another hit and run You know, some people got no choice And they cant never find a voice To talk with that they can even call their own So the first thing that they see That allows them the right to be Why they follow it, you know, its called bad luck

I remember the first time I heard this song, and at the time I knew nothing of the velvet underground. It is the one that got me hooked.(on velvet that is)
