I think it's one of those lyrics where the words just sound nice together rather than having any particular meaning. None the worse for that - great song on a great (and under-recognised) album.

Robyn Hitchcock – Brenda's Iron Sledge Lyrics	7 years ago
Brenda = Margaret Thatcher and the iron sledge is Armoured Punt HMS Incredible from Steve Bell's 'If' cartoons around the time of the Falkland war. Ok, so the chronology doesn't quite work but that's what it is in my mind!
