Alright, all of those opinions are just as valid, but I think it's just another anti-capitalist or anti-power song.
"In the sad town, cold iron hands clap, the party of clowns outside" The iron hands are the machines producing with no point at all (production could have a point if needed) and calls them "clowns" ironically.
"rain falls in grey far away, please, please, Baby Lemonade" The smoke (I'm resuming) from the pipes contaminates far away places (Asia, Africa, South-America and other many starving places). "Baby Lemonade" could be the early earth (with no pollution, literally and metaphorically) or calling for something innocent or "not needed of insult" to forget about it (not to avoid it, but to forget and don't suffer from it)
"In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost" The rutinary, but stupid life of pointless duties and making "your name like a ghost" might be the common and incredibly stupid phrase of "being someone by having a good´ job" (similar to the "Ive seen al good people" from Yes feeling)
"I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade" He shouldn't be screaming, but no matter how, he's doing it to stop it all, and he shouldn't have met anyone (or everyone) this way (everyone calling him crazy). The washing machine is the system washing heads about "time is coming, you'll die, be crazy!" (the clock) so ice (even if it might look cold to the system) is good to stop all that stupidity.
I just draw the structure, it could be he thought the Floyd were gonna lose themselves by going into that mass-production, or "Baby Lemonade" could be drugs or an unknown nickname. The important thing is he is asking for optimistic to stop pesimistic. (No need to say Syd was a focking genius) and that, if he thought the Floyd were losing themselves he was right (look at "The Wall" about all Roger's pesimism), but now it all turned out good.

Love the Floyd!
@Bachi This interpretation is completely crazy, but I like it for its consistency.
