Cottons for swabbing for filtering the heroin, two bags of it for two lovers. Maybe Farrell and co thought this song is about ultimately blissful love, having sex in seventh heaven. Personally I don't see it this way, though. To me this song is about being incapble of loving someone without something to tone down the terror of the being vulnerable. In an odd way this song is akin to the Stooges' Now I wanna be your dog, where the terror of being loved is toned down by contempt and domination, fueled by amphetamines and aggression.
