The way I see it, by "in the Class A Team", many people seem to think it means 'class a drugs'. I believe it means she's working with 'a class' people, like business men, layors, and other high ranking members of society. my reason; "Call Girl, No Phone". It doesnt mean she calls people. it means she is a call girl, or a "high class hooker". I love this song so, so much. The idea of it is so sad, but it's just so deep.
"And in a pipe she flies to the motherland", is expanding on the idea of this girl smoking drugs.
"or sell love to another man". We all know this means she is a prostitute.
"the worst things in life come free to us". To me this is talking about this girl being bashed and abused by her pimp, which comes 'free', and yet, ironically, she gets paid for it.
"we're all under the upper hand", then refers back to the 'high class' people of society. This girl is "under the command" of all these people. "go mad for a couple grams", then refers back to the last phrase (we're all under the upper hand); as in, even though she hates what she's doing, what she does gets her money for the drugs.
"closed eye, and hoping for a better life". She doesn't like what she's doing. She wants it to be different. She wishes she chose a better way to live her life. She thinks of how her life could've been if she didnt try these drugs when she was 18.
"for angels to fly, to fly fly, or angels to die". This girl, through her struggle, passes away. But the use of the term "angel", gives me the idea that she wasn't a nobody. Someone loved her. she was someones daughter, friend, sister, grandaughter, and maybe even, a true lover.
And to think I only first heard this song today.. I love it, so, so much.
ps. sorry for it being all over the place, i've been listening to bits and typing about it, then skipping around for something else to type up about.
Hope it helps you all out, to understand the meaning, and i hope im right!
Thanks, Ash.x
I aggree with others, im certain class A team is meaning shes taking class A drugs(which we see in the video). And the reason they say "call girl, no phone" is because shes a prostitute working on the street(which we see in the video) and she dosnt have to use a phone.and "in a pipe she flys to a motherland" means when shes on drugs she dreams of going back home and away from the situation shes in. you really need to know the backround of the story to get it. The whole song is about a girl/woman who got...

The whole song is about a girl/woman who got sent over to england by her mother to live with her uncle for a better life. but her uncle sells her to a pimp and gets her hooked on drugs.the mother has no idea of whats happening.the girl wants to go home to see her mother but shes too ashamed
