One of the biggest misconceptions about this song is that it is free form .In fact it was written specifically in answer to the Velvet Undergrounds "Heroin". Hence the repeated chorus of "searching for my bloodflow" NOT "brother".This was in direct answer to the chorus of "Heroin" "Ive been searching for my mainline" .
I personally talked about this with both Damo and Michael Karoli(R.I.P).
It`s also in The Can book,so Anti Jehovahs.........you look foolish!
@yugedralya One minor correction: "Searching for my mainline" is from Sister Ray, not Heroin. The chorus of Heroin is "Heroin, it's gonna be the death of me. Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life."

The VU also performed a song live, never released on one of their albums, titled "Searching for My Mainline."
