Lyric discussion by Iwannabetheminority 

I think this song is about being lonely or trying to find sumone to be with or sumthing along those lines. You can c it in such lines as... "I wasn't born so much as I fell out, Nobody seemed to notice me"
and "The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls, Make me noises for company" and "Long distance callers make long distance calls, And the silence makes me lonely" as well as other lines.

The whole part with the getting lost in a supermarket is kinda a metaphor for the writers life. if your lost in a supermarket, your trying to find someone you kno the person u came in with, in this song, the writer kind of is saying how he's lost in the world and he's just trying to find someone he can relate to or sumone who will give him attention.

I dont kno how much sense that just made but i hope u got what i was trying to say. anyway, The Clash rule! R.I.P. Joe Strummer and Topper Headon

Topper Headon is alive....

No disrespect but he really shouldnt be considering how he lived :P Honestly it's unfair that people like Jonny Rotten still exists and Joe Strummer doesnt.
