The song is about Peter Stringfellow's City of Angels, a lap dancing club that Robbie has made no secret of having been a frequent patron. He references it again in the lyrics to "Dig Your Polished Nails Into The Dirt"

"St. Peter's gonna be unfaithful
Tell God he's got a dirty angel"

Re read the lyrics again. worth noting;

"I sit and wait" as you do in the lap dancing club
"do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old" plenty of dirty old men in the club

"So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead"

LOVE is DEAD so I'm loving Angels INSTEAD
He's slept with lots of strippers, sometimes paying for the privilige

"And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong"

because he's paying her

"And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones"

Do you need a picture?

St Martins Lane, on which Angels is situated is a one way lane.
"And my pain walks down a one way street"
