The lyrics to this one remind me of a musician I know who moved constantly, always running away to a new town, a new crowd and a new place to fit, but never staying in one place long enough to get care much about anything there. After a while the newness of everything grated, when nothing seemed to matter anywhere... I think this song addresses that kind of social person's loneliness very well for a throwaway bit of brit-pop. (In the end, she found gardening and it all worked out OK amid the daffs.)
Weirdly, until I came here, I always thought the lyrics on the chorus were "there's a LOVE-LOVE feeling around me" and that it was just being all bitter and sneering and sarcastic (I've seen the band live a few times, and still never twigged to this, doh).

Anyway, I kinda like my misheard lyrics better.
