Heroin Lyrics - New Model Army

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 

Because 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 . . . 

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
