Currently, this is my favourite Paul Weller song...always transient though, he writes so many great songs. This is really clever, because it leads you to think it is about a member of a family that goes off on adventures, then comes back and regales his family/friends about it.
However, this is actually where he goes in his mind. It is his family's understanding of this side of him, and the fact that they would rather have him about than not, even if he is a miserable b*stard...because when he comes back (to normal not from an adventure) he is just a pure joy to have about.
No matter where he goes - his family love him and send with him their whole breath and magic. Even though they can't understand it fully.

Absolutely brilliant.
