I think this song starts off from the point of view of the past friend saying how much they hate their old friend who has now become famous and then the envy is shown as the reason for the hate they have,
"You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so"
I think straight after that line the point of view changes to Morrissey, explaining that he knows that his old friends hate him and he knows they can't stand to listen to his songs but he doesn't really care and starts to tease them with him singing "La, la-la, la-la..." almost in a very immature and childish way. Maybe teasing in this way because he knows about thier old friend's jealousy towards him.
