@excompost: I agree with your interpretation; I'd just add that the protagonist of this song can't be happy no matter what he does: "back to the family (his family of origin)" proves stale, boring, soporific, punctuated by the madness of the "master" and his money-greed and sister and her weird physical-appearance obsessions. But returning to the chosen "family" of hectic work life in London is no better: phone rings constantly, job duties pile up, his boss is never satisfied with his work. No satisfaction anywhere.
