I believe this song is a precursor to "Sunny Afternoon". Both songs are on Face To Face, this comes first, and Sunny Afternoon a few songs later. Both songs feature a guy who was filthy rich at one time, but is not anymore. We don't know why, but we do know that he likes the finer things in life, has an eye for the ladies, enjoys a drink or several, and isn't shy about spending his money.
And doesn't have a hard time finding people help him spend his money. All the people coming to his parties, all the girls accepting jewelry. I would imagine the girlfriend in Sunny Afternoon took full advantage, even taking his car with her.
So apparently he still has the house and the yacht, but not many friends, and hardly any money. He's even drinking beer, for chrissake.
