I think this song is about Jim Morrison. Jules has stated before he was heavily influenced by him. Makes sense when you consider a lot of the lyrics.

"The other side", was a metaphor Jim used a lot.

Also "I hate them all, i hate them all. I hate myself, for hating them. So I'll drink some more. I love them all. I'll drink even more. I'll hate them even more than I did before."

Is that Jim or what ?

"I remember when you came. You told me how to sing. Now it seems so far away. You told me how to say."

And that seems like a touching little tribute to Jim. Jules' does sing a lot like him. Alternatingly mournful and ballistic.
