What's this song about?

1
Picture this, 2:30 on the hottest night in June
2
He awakes for no reason and checks his watch by the moon
3
And his mouth feels as dry as his eyes as he struggles to rise
4
And stops to contemplate his wifes thighs as he does up his flies
5
He finds his slippers where he left them under the chair
6
Behind the two cups and an old copy of Marie Claire
7
And he switches on the coffee machine
8
That of course works like a dream
9
Catches sight of his reflection in the silver surface sheen
10
And it's a face he knows well although it should look less abused
11
With all these moisturizers and the skin products he's used
12
As he moves through the kitchen, his homage to brushed steel
13
Across the new pine floorin' that's plastic but looks real
14
Past the plasma with the wide screen
15
And the cinema surround sound
16
And he stops on his favorite spot by the window and looks down
17
On the orange lit street at the edge of the private car park
18
Where his Audi TT is waitin' safely in the dark
19
Keepin' it all inside of you
20
Somethin' will have to give
21
And if you could you'll take it back
22
But you lose your way in the way you live
23
Now he can hear wind chimes tinklin' out on the balcony
24
And his phone beepin' out a text message in the same key
25
He checks it and it?s Jill who used to be his secretary
26
Before they started an affair and things began to get really scary
27
Now his wife Mary is gettin' weary of his lies
28
Like she's read the whole sordid story in his eyes
29
It doesn't help that Jill?s now sayin' that she's two weeks late
30
His mental state is really startin' to deteriorate
31
He never knew how he got so out of his depth
32
Or why he's broken more than all these promises kept
33
And it?s been ages since he slept properly
34
His sleeps now broken by these dreams of extra-marital activity
35
Tryin' to recapture the rapture he used to get
36
From his material possessions and endless retail therapy sessions
37
Shoulda listened to what his dad said before he died
38
?The best things in life are the ones you can't buy, son?
39
Keepin' it all inside of you
40
Somethin' will have to give
41
Wish you could buy a ticket back
42
But you lose your way in the way you live
43
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to IKEA
44
Away from the shouts and the louts and the girls
45
With the over painted pouts
46
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box fresh Nikes
47
Deliverin' rocks to the house across the street
48
On rusty mountain bikes
49
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to IKEA
50
Away from the shouts and the louts and the girls
51
With the over painted pouts
52
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box fresh Nikes
53
Deliverin' rocks to the house across the street
54
On rusty mountain bikes
