There is loads of songs directly about heroin but one verse sticks out in my mind, it to me covers more than heroin. It's power is in it's simplicity of life in general or how it can get.
The song is an old Billy Joel song called Piano Man about his early days of playing in cheap joints
"Theres an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and Gin," just one line I love
Verse
"It's a pretty good night for a Saturday and the manager gives me a smile,
Cause he knows that its me they been coming to see to forget about life for a while"
Chorus
"Sing us song your the piano man sing us a song tonight,
Cause where all in the mood for a melody and you got us feeling alright"
