The track "Junkie Doll" appears on Mark Knopfler's album "Sailing to Philadelphia". Metro Lyrics website carries the lyrics:

Turnpike Lane, Turnpike Lane
You spiked my arm
But you missed the vein
Now it's all gone
But the scars remain

Junkie doll, stuck on you
My junkie doll

Turnham Green, Turnham Green
You took me high
As I've ever been
Now it's all gone
And now I'm clean

Junkie doll, stuck on you
My junkie doll

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

Turnpike Lane, Turnpike Lane
You took my heart
Pan American hill
Now rain or shine
It's all the same

Junkie doll, stuck on you
My junkie doll

Junkie doll, stuck on you
My junkie doll

Little bit of this'd get you up
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

Musician: Mark Knopfler
