They’re having a discussion trying to figure out how to save money and use one taxi instead of two.
This song was written back when Andy Nicholson was the bassist (before he was replaced by Nick O'Malley). Andy didn’t live in the same area as Alex, Jamie and Matt. He lived in Hillsborough while the rest lived in High Green.

And you don’t have to be no Sherlock Holmes to see Alex is playing on the other meaning of “bang” here.
