Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You" is about Cocaine.
Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right" is about heroin.
ANYTHING off the soundtrack of "Pump Up The Volume" will do.
Monkey by George Michael from his "Faith" LP
Need some instrumentals to break up the vocals? Any of the songs on the soundtrack to "Rush" will work -- the tunes are all about heroin -- written and perfomed by ERIC CLAPTON.

"Dead Flowers" by The Rolling Stones (i'm not sure if it's100% about heroin, but there is a verse that goes along the lines of "i'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon and another girl to take my pain away")
"The Crystal Ship" by The Doors
and thats about all i can think of off the top of my head.
