It's supposed to be about one of the TP&TH roadies, "the English refugee", and his adventures on the road. But whether the first two verses are about him as well I'm not sure.
There's an alternative lyric to verse 2:
South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up till everything went black
Somewhere on Lonely Street.
And it was just that evil poison
That I put up my nose
Thank god for a long-neck bottle
The angels' antidote
Song was on Torpedoes, but it's much older than that - from Mudcrutch days.
