This early demo is a cover of the 1967 experimental rock song “Heroin” by The Velvet Underground. Stephan Jenkins abridges Lou Reed’s original lyrics while Kevin Cadogan borrows one of Reed’s opening riffs and updates it for the 90’s: sped up, amped up and distorted.

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
I don't know
Just where I'm going
But I, gonna try for the kingdom if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
To put a spike into my veins
I'll tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Well, I guess that just don't know
Well, I guess that just don't know
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
I made a decision
Well I, gonna try
To nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And I really don't care no more
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Well, I guess that just don't know
And I guess that just don't know
[Interlude: Stephan Jenkins]
Heroin!
Death of me, yeah yeah
Heroin!
[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
But I wish I was born a thousand years ago
And I wish I had sailed the darkened seas
On a great, big clipper ship
Moving from this coast and to that
Of all of the evils in this town
All the dead bodies piled up on the ground
I lost myself and those who helped
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't ... know
[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Heroin, be my end
Heroin, it's my wife, and it's my life
Heroin, be the death of me
