Whats you faveroite song about Heroin?

im pretty noddy right now so i cant remember the name of the song which is sad cause im a huge nirvana fan but i keep remembering the lyrics: "she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart, she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart". cool.
 
MR BROWNSTONE.........GUNS N' ROSES

used to do a little but the little wouldnt do it so the little got more and more just keep tryin to get a little better just alittle better than before.

we've been dancin with mr brownstone he's been knocking he wont leave us alone..............
 
she talks to angels.............the black crowes

..........she pulls those shades way down tight,
....she gives a smile when the pain comes,
...cos the pain's gonna make everything alright!!!


i think this is a really great song all round and an absolutely gorgeous melody....but hey, that's just my opinion??
 
i have two favourites:
the beatles - happiness is a warm gun

the stranglers - golden brown
(an old song with an organ - very cool, this song makes me happy)

Golden brown
texture like sun

Lays me down
with my mind she runs

Throughout the night
no need to fight

Never a frown
with golden brown.
Ev'ry time
just like the last

On her ship tied to the mast

To distant lands
takes both my hands

Never a frown
with golden brown.
Golden brown
finer temptress

Through the age she's heading west.
From far away
stays for a day

Never a frown
with golden brown.
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown with golden brown


edit: anyone mentioned "brown sugar" by the rolling stones?
 
Jane Says--Janes Addiction---i always listened to this while waiting for my girlfriend to get home, anyway it always made me sad,although inspired to score a cap before she got home

Heroin--Velvet Underground--classic,nuf' said

lol for some reason this song made me think of french fries alot more than heroin.

Originally posted by Ketamike Shucklack: that song is called Aneurysm.. "Come on over and shoot the shit.. yeaaah"

yeah thats it, great song, thanks. its kinda eerie when you think about it cause i heard he got alot worse with the shit because of his dumb wife.
 
Just thought of another favorite "Heroin song".

Richard Hung Himself by D.I.

"Needles stabbed into the walls,
The executioners curtain call.
Fighting back he found his life was drowning,
And there was no way out."
 
shannon hoon died of a cocaine overdose. but nonetheless plenty of blind melon's songs are about smack - 'the pusher' being one.

i think some of massive attack's songs are connected to heroin. and john frusciante's solo stuff definitely covered it. rodriguez's album is also loaded with references, particularly in 'sugar man'.

waiting for my man is a velvet underground classic that any drug user can identify with :)

nick cave and the bad seeds also have plenty of heroin inspired tracks.

if you look back, there's a consistent link between opiates and music. in the 40s heroin became more popular amongst black youth who looked up to jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, Theodore Navarro and Chet Baker (all heroin users).

hector berlioz's classical masterpiece 'symphonie fantastique' is about a prolonged opium trip whereby a young man dreams his own death (executed by witches). it's cool :D
 
damn blah, nice list. same with movie lists, books lists... mental obsession...

my favorites...

sunday morning/waiting for the man/heroin- vu
comfortably numb- pink floyd
under the bridge- rhcp
needle and the damage done- neil young
not if you were the last junkie on earth- dandy warhols
 
what about Heroin by Partners N Crime

Like Holly Grove done said, the high gone got me stitchin',
But I need a heroin bag cuz bitch, I'm itchin',
Snorted in the mornin' when I'm chillin' with Bret,
Get high as a mutha when we're ready to jet,
Go chill on the set with lil' cubie and Mel,
The first car that we seen we got spooked as Hell,
Nigga roll on the set, who it is? Five oh,
Pack the shit, close shop, and we'll be ready to go,
Five oh's on my back, cuz they think that I'm holdin',
But I'ma let them muthafuckas know,
That I done got too loaded, too loaded, too loaded, too loaded,
That I done got too loaded, too loaded, too loaded, too loaded,
They say that cocaine's bad, but that heroin's worse,
So Kangol Slim kick the next fuckin' verse
 
just had to bump this thread

Barbarella by Scott Weiland

you play the game,
i'll masturbate and sing a lullaby
you run the race, i'll pay the miles
you sing the pink love fuzz
and dance the musty queer
i'll stay at home cause i'm the mouse
so high that i can't fly
more deep than space #9
can't tell time by telling time
she's so ready
i'm so heavy
it's so heavy on me
can't hold time by holding time
Barbarella, come and save me from my misery
can't you see it's a disease
shoot the bad guys and i'll gladly sing a tune for you
lost in space - we could be free

let go, let god they say
I do believe, but not in yours or yours
I just believe it's all the same
don't know just who I am
don't know about the lamb
i'm the meat of the feast
barbarella, come and save me from your misery
can't you see it's a disease
shoot the bad guys and i'll gladly sing a tune for you
lost in space - we could be free

and all the tangerines
they taste like jelly beans
this must be boring by now
grab a scale and guess the weight of all the pain i've given with my name
i'm a selfish piece of shit
barbarella, come and save me from my misery
can't you see it's a disease
shoot the bad guys and i'll gladly sing a tune for you
we'll watch 'lost in space' on my tv
 
^ima big scott weiland fan...havent heard the whole Velvet Revolver cd yet, but i like slither.

oh and heroin or no-heroin for Chino....The Deftones is still one of my favorite bands to listen to when im nodding.
 
you may be right that maynard does not like herion, but i know for a fact that he and all of tool uses/used drugs.

is it just me, or does the Black Sabbath song "Hand of Doom" seem to be anti-herion? it just seems odd that ozzy would sing a song going against a drug.
 
Who does that one track it goes like this, i think its an 80's or 70's track. "If you wanna ride, don't ride the white horse"
Laidback
i don't like this song
 
i thought it had been mentionned before but can't find it.
not that i know many songs about heroin, so instead of favorite, let's say, one that's fucking great :
the real thing (faith no more)
 
pool shark - sublime
drive - blind melon
i'm not an addict - i think its by K's Choice or something..? I could be wrong though.
 
That song "Downtown"

I think the woman that did it was a junky, but I'm not sure.

When your alone and life is getting you down
you can always go: DOWNTOWN

Could be a euphanism for mainlining or not

Whatever
