I think it means something... I think you just have to analyse it line-by-line. I think it's about a relationship, where the guy had just been totally ignorant of his partner- the narrator, and any situations (I got that from the first line). I think he was v. materialistic (because a mercedes is a flashy car, and a lear is a private jet. I think he thought he was better than he was (canaries are yellow, he thought he was "platinum"). I also think he's one of those people that thought they had to live their life in a certain way (get a young girlfriend).
In my opinion, the 2nd verse is about the guys "bit on the side", also a materialistic stuck up girl (poster girl posin in a fashion mag), but who doesn't know quite who she's meant to be, a "chamelion" girlfriend (canine, feline, jekyll and hyde...). I then think the "aging blues" is supposed to mean that he doesn't want her any more, as she's getting too old, or their affair is getting too old.
I then think the last line is the narrator saying "piss off, I'm okay by myself, it's time for a change, I don't want you back and I'm not answering your calls".
But tell me if you think that's all complete rubbish.
