Crazy, wonderful song, really theatrical in Ray's delivery.
I love the bridge when he sings "This is my street, and I'm never going to leave it...", because I always find myself agreeing and feeling all cosy about the place where I live, but then realising the sad truth that maybe this is all I'm going to see for the rest of my life, and maybe I should get out and see the world more, which I think is what the singer is suggesting these people should do.
"Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun"
sums up English people so well, miserable because of the miserable weather, but too miserable to do anything about it! And I'm (kinda) one of them!
