Although I did not knew about Neil's time in London look for a gig I do not believe he has wrote a lyrics about himself instead a more general matter.
I believe that the motto of the lyrics is : "You can get it all but inside you'll keep the same unsatisfied guy"
"A boy alone, so far from home Endless rooftops from my window I felt the gloom of empty rooms On rainy afternoons"
First verse - just the London's view to introduce the song
"Sometimes in confusion I felt so lost and disillusioned Innocence gave me confidence To go up against reality"
This verse means things aren't easy but since you don't know how hard it can be you keep moving on to get it
"All the same, we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances"
We are all presented to opportunities everyday, everytime, but you must not just want it - you need to be in the right place at the right time
"Plus ça change - Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same"
It says that you can reach all your goals, fame or fortune but on the inside you are the same guy as before
"Now I've gained some understanding Of the only world that we see Things that I once dreamed of Have become reality"
It means that now I know how the things works and I got my objectives
"These walls that still surround me Still contain the same old me Just one more who's searching for A world that ought to be"
Means, inside me I still not satisfied - I still look for things like I wanted then to be...
