Special Needs- could be seen as two different things. Either the person actually has special needs (disability isn't perticually special needs) or they need something special to help them through a tough time..namely the person this song is aimed at. Personally I think that this song is based on some kind of experience that Brian or one of the other band members may have had and is based on something once said to them.
I see two possible readings of this song, that a person was in some sort of an accident at the age of 19 and is in a relationship with big dreams and hopes that has to be finished because of the accident. The middle part with the repetition of "me" can be read as an eccoe of the sirens of an ambulance that references to the "6 months off" which could be the time they spent in hospital, but they're blaming themselves.
Another reading could be that it's about someone with a coke adiction "whenever noses start to bleed". The person has a strong adiction to coke and the song is aimed at someone that they need to get over it but couldn't stand the pain of watching them do that anymore. The "6 months off for bad behaviour" could be a reference to time spent in rehab and the realisation that it's their own fault. they could be reflecting on all the things they want from life that the other person can have but they can't because they can't get off the drugs. The middle "me" part could be a reference to them getting their release again because it slows down this could show them going into a state of relaxation due to the drugs.
Either way this is a very self centred song about someone who's always feeling sorry for themselves and concentrates only on the things that they can't have.
(This is just a personal reading into the song..it's probably not all that acurate..just thought i'd share my ideas).
