It's about someone from the North of England (an area which is generally quite poor and working class) to go to live in the South, which is often seen as being far richer and more middle-upper class. Euston is a train station in London where the trains from Manchester pull into. His family and girlfriend can't afford to come with him, and he's striving for independence anyway. But as it happens, he already knows he's destined for failure. Anyway, great song.
