I like to look at this song as a metaphor to Murphy’s “relationship” with the bar scene.
The bar, Darcy, is being referred to as a luring and manipulative love from the past.
Bars profit off patrons drinking away their sorrows.
"Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy"
Murphy gets into the bar scene too young
“when I met you I was five years too young”
Resulting in a dependence on alcohol
“fell for you my darling dear. You shut me off and you showed me the door
But you always came crawling back begging me for more”
The bar/Darcy exploits his dependency for profit
I showed you kindness, a stool, and a TAB
And doesn’t give a shit.
Then you poured me MY PAIN in a DIRTY GLASS”
Murphy’s over indulgence with booze progresses into drugs.
”You bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me.”
“Pager on call…You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall”
The bar/Darcy clears their conscience by denying responsibility.
“How was I to know? That he was just a fiend and a no-good cheat.”
Murphy comes to his senses after realizing Darcy’s intent
“You weren't the first to court me mister you won't be the last
Oh, I'm sure I wasn't honey, I know all about your past!”
And recovers.
“It’s all in the past bitch 'cause now I've got it beat.”
The song begins with Darcy’s regret of losing his business and wants him back.
“Murphy, Murphy, darling dear I long for you now night and day.…I feel now I've lost you to health and good cheer”
The end is Murphy mocking Darcy’s insincerity.
"My dear, my dear
Darcy, Darcy my darling dear.”
this is almost exactly how I interpreted this.. except for the alcoholic progressing into drugs?
"Murphys over indulgence with booze progresses into drugs.
'You bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me.
Pager on call. You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall"

to me that is just referring to the fact that he was in too deep, over his head..and spent most of the time throwing up in the bathroom lol.

good take on this though. I'm positive that's what DKM true meaning is
