The meaning of the song according to Mark Bowen himself -

"The truth behind "the Mark Bowen" song, is that prior to having a permanent singer, the band named their songs after persons, places, or things that were around when the music was formulated, rather than naming them song A or song B, etc. There were no lyrics and therefore no real song name. When the boys sent a tape to LA, so that Chuck could write some lyrics for his upcoming stint as singer, he made up lyrics for the song that was labeled as, "Mark Bowen". I had spent a day or so with Chuck prior to that, but he did not really know me. He just made up a song. I'm happy to have my 15 minutes of fame from that, ha!"

Wow, that's a really interesting explanation. I'm sure people have spend loads of time trying to work out what this song meant regarding Bowen, that's so funny that it has almost nothing to do with him.
