Per a 2018 Facebook post, the specific person is his manager:
BAD OLD MAN
This was literally written over night during the making of THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON around 1998. Simple descending notes, with a tyraid about my manager, celebrity and modern life in general. A real deription song of a city fallingh apart under inappropriateness and sleaze. Greatest top 40 achievement slipping this in at No.31. Not many chart songs include the words ‘paedophile’ or ‘drowned his stepson in the duck pond” - Utterly poptastic.
