I came to this site looking for opinions on this specific song by Sade - and it's the only one of hers that has zero opinions so far.
I find it interesting that she chose the name 'Sally' - an appropriate name for a lady of easy virtue, but also the nickname of the Salvation Army. So you can read the song two ways - as a paean to a heart of gold, or as praise for all those who take light into dark places.
That's a very interesting point about the "Sally" Army but I don't think they do "dirty work". If had been an organisation it would have been "they're" not "she". To me this is the other half of Paul Simon's the Boxer - "I felt so lonely I took some comfort there". Misery loves company eh?
