| The Velvet Underground – Foggy Notion Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I figured it was another song about junk - The calamine lotion bit caught my ear - calamine lotion is used to relieve itching (pruritus is a side-effect of opioids) Then I thought about another VU track Here She Comes Now - another song about junk - here Lou refers to heroin as a female - a lot a lot a lot of what he wrote about was scoring, getting high, the high, the come down, the whole shebang. she's over by the corner (where drugs are commonly sold in the city) hitting harder, harder, harder (people will do their drugs with such gusto you'd think invented it) and her indifference to his affection regarding the flowers, regardless of how much you love your poison it will never love you back, so you hit harder harder harder and keep chasing just my 2 cents tho |
