@the scenic world - unless you've experienced opiate addiction (and I, unfortunately have) it is nearly impossible to grasp just how central a place it holds in the addicted person's life. Having read all of Keith's lyrics I can say with certainty that the twin images of heroin and Anita inform virtually every song he wrote.
From what I understand, Keith wrote this song in his Roll's Royce while parked outside the house where Anita and Mick were filming Performance.
As to this song specifically, and this is just my opinion, but I've always seen the song as Keith's admission...
