"How very wrong could you be. This is a beautiful song to listen to, and despite the possibly intentional trickery of the song, it is actually about a snake shaped draught excluder from ikea."

I did read that here: "Everyone thinks it’s about my penis, but it’s not,” he remarked after playing “Snake,” which he elaborated is actually about his plans to surprise a woman in New York City by showing up with nothing but the clothes on his back and a draft snake he’d been keeping for her. As it happened, the girl was “less than thrilled,” so he wrote “I Feel Better” as a sequel, reusing the music from the chorus." (t-sides.com/)

But there seems to be a contradiction here: "Well, basically, there's, the last song on, you know "Snake"? It's me going to New York. "I Feel Better" is me coming back from New York, having failed in my attempts. I took "Snake", I took the snake to New York. The snake, it's a snake, so I took him out to New York to visit my girlfriend, to see if we could sort things out. And then it didn't work, so I flew back. So "I Feel Better" is the sequel to "Snake." (30music.com/int.php)

I prefer to think it's his pet snake.
