This song is about a play girl, who sleeps around, "chokes on cigarettes" to get her by, and has a generally sleezy lifestyle. Her life has no meaning past being a playgirl.
When it says, "a forgien coin on a telephone box", perhaps it is suggesting that she is at payphones trying to get "clients" seeing as how she sleep around.
And when it says,"a question mark on a calendar"
becuase she has no definate plan.
"An empty seat on the alpha line", could mean she empty inside or that her life is nothing,so it's empty.
"a sorting code, an account number", is pretty much the epitimy of this playgirl.
