I think the song is about how the critics loved Pete in the Libertines era, but rip into him now for his personal life (forgetting his music). His relationship with the press and music journalists is a bit like this: 'You used to be into me, Now you've got it in for me' Its not easy getting out of bed because you dont know whether you will be loved or loathed by them on each day.
'Its not easy getting it out of your head' 'oh its too easy, getting it out of your head' - this is Pete saying that you can accept praise just as easyily as critisism, and both overwhelm you. BUT the song is also about a lover playing you hot and cold, and thats why he knows how to find her 'in the flat down by the river' but its still not easy getting out of bed, because she might not be into him this day.
Great song, I love how pete cries 'Its not e-a-a-s-y!' its so heartfelt!
