Lyric discussion by blue_bathtub 

I love this song. It makes me feel very sad, but also more appreciative of what i have. A lot of the meaning is very clear, it's about a drug addict prostitute. I think when it says she in the class A-Team, he is probably talking about what the men who sleep with her say about her. They probably recommend her to friends etc. "Cos we re just under the upperhand" I think maybe this is talking about how she is on the street and she can see everyone else living a normal life. She lives amongst these people, she can see it but she can't live like that, she is just under the upperhand? When it says "For angels to fly" I think this could be about trying to get out of this life, she can't spread her wings and fly, she's trapped. Then when it says "an angel will die" he's probably talking about her dying from an overdose, which we see in the video.

Class A team's obviously a reference to class A drugs - crack, heroin, coke etc.

That makes so much more sense.
