The whole song is about depression and loneliness.
The first verse is definitely about the depression of the mother, and her husband thinking he's to blame, but they can't tell the kids hence it is put down to "another bad day".
The "black car" definitely refers to a hearse. Of course, these are not the original lyrics. The original second verse was:
"There's a funeral in the town
some guy from the top estate
it seems they found him under a train
and yet he had it all on a plate".
When you see this it becomes clear that a man who was seemingly doing well in life threw himself under a train as a result of his depression. Sadly, they had to change the train reference following the tragic murder of James Bulger.
