I think this song is about a relationship which is doomed to fail due to the differences in upbringing. I also think the writer is coming to terms with losing his youth and accepting that he can't win the battle to be an individual but must conform in some ways. This doesn't mean he's given in completely it just means he's going to have to take other peoples mistakes a s a guide. Great lead guitar and vocals from an underrated band from just before Brit Pop. Great days to be a kid.
