I reckon this is a follow on from a previous song on the album, You're the One I Love. In that Gray describes the feelings of a dying soldier on the battlefield for his loved one. Well you know what ? - he survived - "patch me up and send me home". Now he's just bored with hospital food, fed up with just talking to his partner on the phone and itching to get home. David Gray - so unfashionable yet very lovely.
