The song is written towards Isobel Campbell who was in the group and is about B&S visiting London with the band Arab Strap. if you listen at one point he sings "the boy FROM the Arab Strap" instead of the usual "with".Stuart Murdoch was in a relationship with Isobel for a while and I think this was written as the relationship was breaking down.
@spat 11 years late, but my aunt was friends with them back in Glasgow when she was a waitress, and apparently they said part of it was about her (guessing the bit about the 'waitress') So I guess they have a lot of stuff going on in this song
