The line "since you said goodbye/ polka dots fill my eyes" makes me think of when you lok at something bright for a long time, then look away, and you see little spots of color. It's like she was a bright shiny part of his life, then when she said goodbye, he's got those little spots of color blocking his vision.

'Oh hurry up, Mrs Brown I can feel 'em coming down and it won't take none too long' I think this bit was hlf-inched from some old music hall song, Chaz n Dave stylee.

this song is about pete's ex girlfriend katie's (surprise surprise) drug addiction and how drugs affected and ultimately ended their relationship
