The song is autobiographical.
Dave Davies wrote it when he reached a point in his life where he realized he couldn't remain the hard-partying raver anymore and he had to grow up. The "clown" is Dave's former self.
Ii read it in one of the many books on the Kinks I've read, probably "Kink: An Autobiography" by Dave Davies.
