These were two popular names of 'E' or ecstasy pills that were taken in the big sort of clubbing era in the UK around 1998 (could be a connection as he mentions that year at the end of the song). Appropriate as he goes on to describe what it might be like on a drug of this type. Another social group in england at that time were 'rude boys' (now chavs) that all wore sports branded gear like he described, and they were prolly the group that mostly were opposite to the loved up clubbers of the era.
Could be something else in that he says 'spark him... gimmi twos on that' later in the song which is referring to smoking reefa (if someone lights a doobie you says twos on that and it means you go next).
Hope some of this helps other bloc party fans!!!!
Also just noticed the second lline on the second block could be keep the 'past and future out' (living for the moment in clubland)
Could it be that Kele was a bit of a raver back in the late 90s.... could explain the electro beats of some of the latest songs??
The line is 'Supermen and Mitzy Turbos'
