I've never been able to figure out the lyrics, as they are oblique, perhaps he has spoken about their meaning.
But giving it a go, I'd say the first section is about a night of drug taking with one or more people, that starts off well and then turns a sour for him.
The second section seems more general, about being asked for opinions in the press maybe, and not wishing to be taken as any kind of spokesman for a generation. You have to remember how big the band were in the UK at this time.
Enigmatic genius for sure.

That's my punt anyway.
