This song is actually about three sections of Neil's life, he grew up and his friends and him threw a lot of parties when they were younger, the second stage is when he left for London for university and his parents drove him to the station and dropped him off, the third stage is him in the Pet Shop Boys but some of his friends have passed away, at least one of them being of aids (Your Funny Uncle is specifically about a certain friend.) and it's about how you're still there having a good time but you wouldn't realize that you would still be here without some of your friends, etc.
