From a live session where Patrick played this song live: Chomreedhoo is blackbird in Manx Gaelic. The song was inspired by a Manx Gaelic folk song called the Blackbird. Patrick was inspired by the story which was about a lover yearning for their loved one to come home in the metaphor of Blackbird. Patrick said that he however updated the song to London and that it is about "love existing in a hard tough society".

although 'velocheet' doesn't appear in the song, so I'm a bit confused.
