The Gun Club - "She's Like Heroin to Me"

Off their classic 1981 album "Fire of Love"

I cannot get a look at it
so, I'm burning them on the deal anyway
I see her come down from the top of the stairs

I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins
I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away

She is like an I.V. swimming pool
but, she will never know that she is there
we sit together drunk like our fathers used to be
I'm looking up and God is saying, "What are you gonna do?"
I'm looking up and I'm crying because "I thought it was up to you!"

She's like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein

don't let her take her love to town
they will never fill her heart
she needs a passion like her father's used to be

I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline
I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines

and she's like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein... So mainline it!

I cannot get a look at it
so, I'm blowing back my trouble to the east
while we sit together sad like our fathers used to be

I know a perfect run by the sleep it puits in my heart
I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark

she feels like Heroin to me
she feels like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein

@BirsaGomorraBeach Ecco l'indignato di turno che cerca lo scontro per una semplice battuta... Take It easy... Volevo solo dire che entrambi sono "stravaganti" (giusto per usare un eufemismo...), ognuno a suo modo rappresenta la trasgressione, e cmq il termine "trash" non ha per forza una connotazione negativa. Tra l'altro a me piacciono pure i gun club (vedi il nome: jackonfire...). Vai a votare 4 si al referendum e pace a noi. :-)

@jackonfire85 ma come cazzo osi anche solo nominarli nella stessa frase?

Dopo Silvio Berlusconi, Jeffrey Lee Pierce è il personaggio più "trash" della storia!
