Joni Mitchell – The Jungle Line Lyrics 15 years ago
the fourth verse plays heavily on symbols surrounding opiate abuse...and the line "drooling for a taste of something smuggled in" seems to elude to the same. given the link between heroin use and jazz in new york city (going back to pre-bebop times), it seems clear that this is what she's talking about.
