Sally is a thing not a person. Sally is heroin. Why choose the word cinnamon? coz it's a light brown colour like heroin is in Manchester anyway. Like Golden Brown or indeed Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young. If you read the Cinnamon Girl lyrics you'll see that like in Sally Cinnamon there's the heroin metaphor as a girl. The first part of the song describes exactly as why people do heroin.

Spot on! Nice to see someone's on the ball!
