It seems to me Neil is talking about two people (a man and a woman, I suppose) who went to another town for trying to get a better life, but their plans have fallen through and nothing has really happened as they expected it when they came there. And now the male character who talks at 1st person is exposing what happened to him and specially to her confident woman friend ("In six inch heels, quoting magazines"), who has decided to work as a prostitute for paying her bills ("Go all the way, you knew you could" and "Who pays your bills? How come you came this far?"). Therefore, she has lost a considerable part of their self-esteem while she's trying to survive on this not a little glamourous reality, even though she has always found a way for pretending not to see the 'scars' she has got until today ("I don't expect to talk in terms of sense / Our dignity and injured innocence / It contradicts your battle-scars / Still healed, so far").
"We've drunk too much, and woke up everyone" and "We've laughed too loud, and woke up everyone"
Well, their stylish posture was changed by a new life full of drinks and loud laughs... In short, they have lost their initial pose on having to face the difficulties on this new place which is even harder than the one where they came from...
And finally in the line "We've found ourselves back where we started from", he shows the real dimension of their flop there...
