"there ain't no German girl outside" - Joe had a German girlfriend named Gabi at the time; he may be referring to on-tour /in-studio loneliness, when there's no girl, but at least there's music.
"my drummer friend comes shooting by / he said Errol Flynn will never die" - maybe a reference to drummer Topper's heroin problems (to shoot heroin), and once again a reference to a beloved movie star (like Montgomery Clift), Errol's son Sean is the subject of that song from Combat Rock...
(looks like Topper was slightly obsessed? "Let's hear what the drummerman's got to say about / He said is it Errol Flynn's birthday or not?")
