'Alma Mater' is latin for 'nurturing mother', the pun here i think is that, in this case, the mother is overly nuturing and he wants freedom. he sings "To someone, somewhere, oh yeah... Alma matters" - to someone an overly nurturing mother is something they have never had and perhaps need or want, but morrissey just wants to be left to ruuin his life his own way.

this is my interpretation, any disputes?
@Banksk Alma is spanish for soul. So he's meaning "soul matters".
