It seems to me that the first three verses are about the music industry and how he felt about his career. I think the last three are referring to King George VI, first calling him the angel of death and then singing about how his father died "like a mole in a fox hole" but that "everyone was still in the run" (this verse could mean all of the leaders in government that were controlling the war). The next verse is what makes me pretty sure it was about George VI, (And who is the master of fox hounds? And who says the hunt has begun? And who calls the tune in the courtroom? And who beats the funeral drum?).
Please let me know if there's anything wrong with what I wrote or if you see more than me.
