With references to penthouses and duplex dwelling, I always took this song as a sneer aimed at middle class people. Could it just be Morrissey lashing out at those people snubbing him on social media or in the press? After all, those people were mainly the more educated people from the middle class. And Moz has a habit of hitting back at his distractors in songs.
I think he tries to be funny with his wordplays, but they are not easy to get. WTF is meent by a rough trade stranger? Anyway, But some words can be taken as condescending.
It’s a lovely and uplifting tune though.
