I think the Razor Boy is a bad partner, an abusive partner.
Our Hero is in love with a woman who is in an abusive relationship. The lady is attracted to this unsavory fellow because he is higher up in the social hierarchy -- more "popular" -- than Our Hero ('You'd gamble or give anything/To be in with the better half/ But how many friends must I have/ To Begin with to make you laugh' )
I think the lady's "fancy things" that the Razor boy is taking away are her dreams and hopes and pretty fantasies, as the abusive partner slashes away at them like a razor while all Our Hapless Hero can do is look on and watch this woman destroy herself with this relationship.
@CuteSparkina I think razor boy may refer the guys grooming as too perfect. I agree, will you still have a song to sing means material things vanish and then will you still have a soul.
