The song is about Carol White, a British actress from 60's. "Cathy come home" was a TV drama (directed by Ken Loach) in which she starred. She looked a bit like Brigitte Bardot (therefore a film about her was called Battersea Bardot) but drug and alcohol problems caused her to practically disappear from screen.
