The song is about a certain type of Englishman who's set in the past, who has quite a lot of inherited money ("those family shares will protect him) and likes to think of himself as posh and classy ("He knows his claret from a beaujolais") - but is actually a boring dickhead who's full of himself.
There's a case to be made that the song is a dig at Morrissey, mostly through this couplet...
"I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way"
...which could point to Mozzer's obsession with the Krays. But the rest of the song doesn't seem to back it up.
