Just found something which may be the actual meaning of this song (Richard Archer is the HF lead singer)...
Richard Archer was dragged back to his hometown of Staines, crushed by the lack of success his former band Contempo had seen and the death of his father after his struggle against cancer. "I moved back to Staines because I ran out of money and it was quite a shock," he says. "There's no record shops, there's no decent pubs, there's no venues, there's no decent clothes shops. Look around, it's quite pleasant but if you're a young person living here then you're into a certain type of music - chart house - and a certain fashion, and if you're not into that there is nothing here for you. Here, you can't get home if you're out in central London after eleven. There's no night bus, there's no late train, you have to get a cab if you can find one and that'll charge you eighty quid to get home from central London. A lot of people live like that."
