Lyrics
There's a deep girl in the corner shop
Describes a girl in a corner shop, selling sugar for money during the night.
Selling sugar for money in the dead of the night
Emphasizes the nocturnal nature of her work and the financial motive.
And her soul's in the sugar and her heart's in the mud
Suggests a deeper emotional connection to her work, with her soul in it and her heart troubled.
And she's crying with a stranger
Indicates her emotional state, crying with a stranger, yearning for love.
For someone to love
Expresses her desire for someone to love.
And she sings
Introduces her singing, a medium of expressing her emotions.
"Look at me, see me' 'look at me, save me'
She sings, pleading to be seen, saved, freed, and found by someone, emphasizing the search for a connection.
'Free me, find me 'cause if there's
-Somebody for someone, yeah look at me"
-Somebody for someone

There's a deep boy at the corner shop
Introduces a boy in a similar situation at the corner shop.
Watching sugar sell for money to the dead at night
Observes him watching the sugar-selling, hinting at a parallel experience.
And he sees in her an angel in the cruelest of worlds
Views her as an angel in a harsh world, recognizing her vulnerability.
Hiding in the darkness
Highlights the darkness they both face.
Screaming out for love (screaming out for love)
Expresses his desperate need for love.
And he sings
His singing mirrors hers, emphasizing the universal search for connection and love.
