Not about rocks, not even about diamonds. The Heartbreakers along with Nancy Spungen (Sid Vicious' girlfriend) were reported for introducing heroin in the English punk scene. By the time the Heartbreakers' version appeared, Richard Hell had already left the band, leaving it up to the others to claim their part of the credits.
