Sorry about bad English, I'm from Russia:)
I think this beautiful song is about birth of a child.
It seems that in the first part of the song unborn child talks about his feelings from the womb of his mother (he's saying WE mostly). It's winter time and he's suffering from cold too, although "the weather remote". "We've been drinking bordeaux" - pretty good from this perspective...
It's Christmas time coming and the child decides that it'd be a good time to present himself as a Christmas gift to his parents ("I'm wrapping up the presents I bought").
"an overcoat
will take me anywhere
oh, we've suffered enough"
This lines shows how child and mother tired of being Ñconnected, the child dreams of himself having an overcoat and being able to go wherever he want to.
But:
"it's scary to leave
and they're leaving from birth
cutting us off
knowing not why
calling on
the telephone"
He doesn't understand why parents and chilren cutting off and leave each other at a given time of their lifes and eventually the only connection left between them is a Saturday evening telephone calls. Why can't they forever be as close together and strongly connected, as they were in the beginning.
Very deep and a little depressive song.

@pterodactille You're reading WAY too much into this, LOL. It's about getting drunk at Christmastime, that is all.
