I think the title of this song is referring to the children the singer would have had with his soul mate had they not broken up and had to remain apart for the rest of their lives. These fictional "soho riots" were the turbulent times in their relationship that ultimately caused the final split. The rest of the song goes on to lament the loss of this kind of love in his life and how this lamentation is shared and discussed between them despite that both of them probably have new people in their lives. He knows that he must move on but he is holding on to her on an emotional level because he knows he will never have love like that again. He holds on even though it hurts.
I also wanted to add that it seems as though he is given to the idea of running away with his love and leaving their lives behind. In the beginning he says he has her good clothes in the car, her dreams and her teeth marks. When almost nothing is left of a person, teeth will remain (they dont burn or decompose quite as fast) so teeth are ofte used to identify people, even bite marks are used to identify who did the biting. I think his point with this is that he knows who she is. Out of everyone...

I can easily go along your reflection on that... The way we listen to music reflects often the inside... So for that I can tell that our story is quite alike...
