that is a great song too. i love that whole album, the lore around it, and the quasi-mythic idea of "downtown new york" it evokes.

or whatever, I listen to vu/lou and the world is a sewer
Bad vibes are part of the gestalt I am talking about. I agree that there is a darkness that was a necessary corrective to the utopianism or whatever of the 60s.

"heroin" the song does not move me and never has, always struck me as a corny power ballad. "waiting for the man" on the other hand.

banana album their weakest album by a mile
The harsh music is what makes both the song jump out as well as deromanticising the lyrical content, somewhat.

The dissonance is what is great about this album, when it appears. I cannot agree that this is the weakest velvets album.
