harry showed up and disliked this

This is an anti Heroin song written at around the time they were using the stuff.
Its probably written from the view point of Hugh's girlfriend at the time.
I believe Jet didnt like the heroin.
Brilliant lyrics and music superbly delivered by John (in my view his best)
-
C'mon, it's about an anti-heroine looking for a friend. Hmm... I don't need him around. Love it.
-
On the album, "The Raven", the song is acoompanied by a picture of an white elephant with a big "H" on the side, so it is definitely about heroin!
-
i think that the song was written with heroin in mind, but it can work equally well for other subjects such as depression
-
harry was dead upset when he heard this song. he was alright was harry aswell...we kinda liked him being around
-
Think the record buying public were on smack at the time. This song only got to number 41 in the charts whilst at the same time Dollar were at number 9 with their awful cover of The Beatles I wanna hold your hand. Oh dear!

this is actually an anti cocaine song, golden brown was about heroin. Sorry to be a smart arse but thought u should know & also about the top comment, burnell was into it also like the rest of the band their favourite play thing was opium, he probably learnt martial arts to beat the dealers off!!! Bless him

@dannybrown8787 Nah it's about heroin, which is why it's called "Harry", a street name for heroin. If it was about cocaine it would have been called Don't Bring Charlie LMAO.
