Lyric discussion by sharkycharming 

Interesting that some people feel the song is ruined for them when they find out it's about heroin. I feel the opposite -- I would be disheartened to find out it's about something other than drugs. Addiction is more powerful than love, and if you don't believe me, you're awfully naive.

This song and "Bad" are my favorite U2 songs.

@sharkycharming Imagine a song about some other disease - say hypertension. Yes, people who have high blood pressure might find it interesting, but it's totally boring to everyone else.
