It's entirely to do with the headmaster. In a concert in 1995 in Stockholm he introduced the song with:

"This is a song, this is a new song called Bishop's Robes. This is about an old headmaster we had, cause we went to the same school, cause we're sad. It's about him, and he suddenly decided he was close to God, cause he was a useless headmaster. But now he's a fascist idiot. And this song is about him"
