"This is about a prostitute - 'I'd love to know why she hates all that she does but she gives it all that she's got'. I don't think she is literally meant to be a sister, so much as a close friend, or just a whore he feels a bond for, maybe a bit of both - 'I think what have I done? As she gave me more than she thought she should'. 'Every member of Parliament sniffs on glue' is maybe some sort of reference to the hypocrisy of those who damn prostitutes and the like, but secretly indulge in behaviour they publicly damn."
