I'd say the lines 'And you know how I feel out of place/Until I'm levered off my face" are pretty self-explanatory..or they are to me. About feeling angular and awkward, like you are somehow different from those around you, until you're inordinately pissed, which gives you confidence and blurs reality, if only temporarily..
Definitely a lot of Peter's paranoia in here. I find it very sinister.. One of my favourite Libertines songs, and the fledgling of The Man Who Would Be King!
The last verse gets me everytime..
