The yellow walls are lined with portraits
The walls are adorned with portraits.
And I've got my new fetching red leather jacket
The speaker has a new attractive red leather jacket.
All these poses such beautiful poses
Various poses, likely in a figurative sense, are observed.
Makes any boy feel like picking up roses
These poses make boys feel romantic and inclined to offer roses.
There's never been such grave a matter
Comparing fashionable items is presented as a serious issue.
As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
The comparison of sunglasses is emphasized within these poses.
All these poses such beautiful poses
Continuation of the focus on various attractive poses.
Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes
These poses make boys feel as beautiful as royalty.
The green autumnal parks conducting
The parks in autumn have a vibrant, lively atmosphere.
And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing
The streets in the city seem to be singing joyously.
All these poses oh how can you blame me
The speaker questions how one can blame them for being attracted to these poses.
Life is a game and true love is a trophy
Life is seen as a game and true love as an achievement.
And you said "watch my head about it"
A request or a caution to watch the speaker's head.
Baby you said "watch my head about it"
A repetition of the request/caution regarding the speaker's head.
My head about it
Reiteration of concern about the speaker's thoughts or mental state.
Oh no oh no oh no
Expressing worry or concern.
Oh no oh no no kidding
Asserting seriousness rather than joking or kidding.
Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
Lounging amidst many justifications or motives.
For the smoke the days away into the evenings
Spending time idly, perhaps smoking, throughout the day into the evening.
All these poses of classical torture
The various poses are likened to classical methods of torment.
Ruining my mind like a snake in the orchard
These poses are negatively impacting the speaker's thoughts.
I did go from wanting to be someone now
A shift from aspiring to be someone to being in a less ideal state (drunk and wearing casual footwear in a posh area).
I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue
Consequences of deviating from traditional virtues.
Once you've fallen from classical virtue
Regret for lacking emotional support due to losing virtues.
You won't have a soul to wake up and hold you
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the beauty and vitality of autumnal parks.
In the green autumnal parks conducting
Reiteration of the vibrant nature of city streets.
All the city streets a wondrous chorus
The previous boyish feelings have matured into manhood, questioning its significance.
