This song describes the play/story, "The Kings of the Kilburn High Road." It tells of five old men, friends in Ireland, meeting at a bar on the Kilburn High Road, who have come together to tell one another the stories of thier lives in England upon the sixth party member's death. They had left Ireland even though they are Anti-England. In the end, they are discouraged that their homeland, Ireland, has changed and that for the most part they are unhappy with their lives and the direction their lives had went but can still remember the good times they had.
