I haven't commented on this website in ages, yet I feel that I now must given some of the comments above.
This song is off Blur's album Leisure, which came out in 1991.
The film of Trainspotting didn't come out until 1996 - the novel wasn't even published until 1993, for Gawd's sake!
This song wasn't written for the movie (although it is used in it).
Excellent song by the way... as for its meaning... I agree, it's obviously about loss of joyful innocence. Could be about heroin - but not necessarily so.
