The song is all about Van coming to terms with his divorce from Janet and accepting that he was to blame for it.
From 1971-1973, The Morrisons lived in San Geronimo, California, on Meadow Way. There's no #1 Meadow way, or at least not anymore.
Fair play to you is about the time Van's wife Janet took Vans only rock star indulgence, a silver Mercedes, packed all her things in it, as well as Shana, their daughter whom Van adored and left him - not to speak to him again until 1994. "Fair Play To You" says Van, because he deserved it (he was a dark, angry man in the early mid 70's due to him resenting the impositions of fame and resenting that he wasn't as famous as he thought his talent and hard work should have made him). He wronged her through hubris, she took his symbol of hubris. Tit for tat.

The simplest explanation is usually right. :-)
