black leather jacket seen - Sick Boy
Sick Boy is wearing a black leather jacket, which gives him a tough and rebellious look.

always in trouble with the law don't ya know? owayo - Sick Boy
Sick Boy is always in trouble with the law and this is well-known, hence the phrase “don’t ya know?”. The ‘owayo’ at the end is probably just a meaningless sound in this context, but it could be interpreted as an expression of Sick Boy’s bravado, as if to say “I don’t care”.

Sick Boy enjoys drinking with his male friends and will do it all night long. The ‘owayo’ at the end may be another expression of his devil-may-care attitude.

naa naa naa naa - Sick Boy owayo - Sick Boy naa naa naa naa - Sick Boy owayo - Sick Boy
These lines are repeated several times throughout the song and seem to be more about the sound and rhythm than the meaning. They may be intended to create a sense of energy and excitement to match the rebellious spirit of the song and the character of Sick Boy himself.

Sick Boy travels on a large motor bike, which is another symbol of his confidence and fearlessness.

he combs his hair up just right - Sick Boy
Sick Boy takes care in styling his hair in a way that he deems appropriate, which can be seen as another way of projecting his image and attracting attention.

with tatoos up and down his arms don't ya know? owayo - Sick Boy
Sick Boy has tattoos all over his arms, which is another way of expressing his individuality and perhaps his defiance of societal norms. The ‘don’t ya know?’ and ‘owayo’ lines are repeated from the earlier section as if to reinforce his attitude towards authority and conformity.

he's got a girl wrapped around his arm - Sick Boy
Sick Boy has a girl who is attracted to him and is physically close to him, which is another way of showing off his appeal and status.

such a sick boy we're all sick boys i'm a sick boy naa naa naa naa naa naa
The final lines of the song reinforce the idea that Sick Boy is not alone in his sense of alienation and rebellion. ‘We’re all sick boys’ suggests that many people might see themselves as outsiders or non-conformists, while ‘I’m a sick boy’ is perhaps a way of expressing the singer’s own identification with Sick Boy’s attitude and lifestyle. The ‘naa naa naa’ line is repeated once more, ending the song on a note of defiance and energy.
