I don't think he's necessarily depressed, I think this guy just really wears his heart on his sleeve. He's so excited about being in love that he wants to tell everyone about it ("get it on telly") and when the romance doesn't work out EVERYONE knows (probably because he can't hide his sadness either).
So when he sings "'cause I'm not of your kind / Tell me how to live without glee on my sleeve", he's saying that he feels everything so passionately that he can't be guarded about his feelings like other people can be (like the "mister" and "sister").
I love the whistle. Great song.
