“Junkie Doll” by Mark Knopfler appears on his album, ‘Sailing To Philadelphia’ – 2000. Many believe it’s a song about drug addiction, specifically heroin. In reality, it’s a song about a girl the singer was in love with; she was his addiction.
[Verse 1]
Turnpike Lane, Turnpike Lane
You spiked my arm
But you missed the vein
Now it's all gone
But the scars remain
[Refrain]
Junkie doll, I was stuck on you
My junkie doll
[Verse 2]
Turnham Green, Turnham Green
You took me high
As I've ever been
Now it's all gone
And now I'm clean
[Refrain]
Junkie doll, I was stuck on you
My junkie doll
[Chorus]
And a little bit of this'd get you up
And a little bit of that'd get you down
A little bit of this'd get you up
And a little bit of that'd get you down
And a little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
A little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
[Verse 3]
Turnpike Lane, Turnpike Lane
You took my heart
Pan American
Now rain or shine
It's all the same
[Refrain]
Junkie doll, I was stuck on you
My junkie doll
[Chorus]
And a little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
A little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
And a little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
A little bit of this'd get you up
A little bit of that'd get you down
