I read that this song was written about Manchester, the city the band hail from. I figure its mostly a homecoming piece (hence, Station Approach); a love/hate with the city. You leave it for whatever reason, and then you come home to the buildings that you know so well that you might as well have built them yourself. But it's possible that something about the city drove you away in the first place... Perhaps you only leave to come back. But yes, 'You little sod' is so endearing, no matter how you look at it!
