It really represents the feelings of post-industrial working class britain. The hopelessness and desperation brought about through the decimation of industry and the livlihoods of so many midlanders. I don't think the line 'we'll live and die in these towns' is literal its not about the place its about the attitude. If you don't change your attitude you will die this way. You have to help yourself, if you do there are plenty of people to help you.
