Hard Act To Follow Lyrics

Cover art for Hard Act To Follow lyrics by Grinspoon

come on and light it up i want to feel the rush i'll be shooting for thrills when I walk out that door you say it's hard to care anymore

Those lines are about heroin. Makes sense now. Makes me wonder if "You're a hard act to follow" is about every other drug after heroin just not cuttting it.. heroin is the best ? Would be a suitable way to start a song about heroin addiction. Suits all the other "nothing thrills" lines too.

you're hooked on coke and hoochie i want my milk and cookies

Other people are all for cocaine and weed (?), I want something else (milk and cookies is slang for what? heroin ? I dont know)

That bit about the aspirin does sound right though, about waking up on teh come down and feeling like shit. The down side of heroin. Of course he would have played down the heroin and simply said "hangover" for a radio station..
