Cyndi comes from a jewish background and Sally, is a boy. Not the friend with a pirate smile.
The song is about a strong friendship between two young girls who always rush out to watch this boys pidgeons flying.. And one day, her friend falls for a boy across the street [Someone shy and tall] and weeks later she tells Cyndi that she's late - her period.
The back alley job, I think, refers to the back street abortion. At the time the song is set, abortion was illegal. Cyndis friend dies after it.
"she left one night with just a nod
was lost from some back alley job"
she left one night after telling Cyndi she was going for an abortion and she was never seen again. I figure she died.
