this song is about pick pocketing a letter form a jacket on a train in town, its in the lyrics. The note is to sally cinnamon form her FEMALE lover. The lyrics allude to the person steals the note, and whilst on the train journey he fancies the girl (sally cinnamon) "her eyes are gazing back form every little piece of glass" and "you seem to smile from everything" refers to her reflection in the train windows. Then as he pickpockets the letter, and reads it he realises that Sally is in fact, very much loved and in love and also gay.
There is an old interview which ian brown is asked to explain the drug rferences in his music, which he arrogantly asks which songs have drug references? then the journolist points out that sally cinnamon could well be about Drugs (as a previous poster said), Ians response is very blase and he says, sally cinnamon is about a fictional lesbian
Of course its about finding the letter. The lyrics are explicit in that sense. The letter found (borrowed) is from a mother to her daughter. Bubble gum, test of cherry ade, sent to me from heaven etc. Anyway its not just obvious from the lyrics .. I have also heard this in interview. So there you have it.
