Heroin Girl

This song is so great. It's the story about when Art was younger he lost his girlfriend to a heroin OD (I'm pretty sure). He also lost his brother to the same. When the cops were examining his brother, his mom heard them say "just another overdose." That line is so amazing, the power it has behind it, it makes you feel for Art because it wasn't just another overdose, it was a person with feelings and emotions that he looked up to.

lots of people do drugs. that's the fact.

this is about a girlfriend that art once had who OD'd on heroine. this song really is centered around the line where the cop says "just another overdose". this line pissed off art, so in the song he states how much he loved her and how happy she made him, despite her problems

The line "just another overdose" was something a cop said about his brother and it struck a chord with him. Esther wasn't real, and he's been quoted to say people used to try to get close to him on tour by saying they lived on the same street as him and Esther, then he'd call for security.

idk. my band has had its sharwe of drug problems. my guitarst had a coke problem. i deal with heroin withdrawl and im terying to clean up frmo booze and coke. but it comes with the lifestyle. the more money the easier it is to get

the original everclear hit (even before santa monica), its about art's girlfriend overdosing on herione. art has a screwed up life, but he puts all his feelings into making great songs like this

i love this song. especially, like everyone mentioned, when he says "i heard the policeman say just another overdose...just another overdose!". love it

I used to know a girl... "She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo We'd drink that Mexican beer We'd live on Mexican food"

I went out with a girl with her nipples pierced, but she didn't like mexican food. :-( We would get into fights because i would get drunk on mexican beer and try to force feed her tacos... good times, good times.

Great lyric though, and a cool song that gets my imagination going.

This song was actually a fictional story (there was no Esther) but it was based on the death of family, a girlfriend and friends. It's a great fucking song I love it, the chords and the way the guitar sounds is just so powerful and it really brings light to the lyrics. My favorite Everclear album is Sparkle and Fade it totally rocks, its really great post-grunge/grunge music

sillybilly, thats fuckin hilarious.

I'm sooo into this song, its awesome.

I dont know, but i would guess that this is not a true story. Because would be too hardcore to write a song about a chicks nipple peircings when she was close to you and tragicly died. Could you see yurself doing that?
