Well, I had to sign up and provide my 2 cents on this song...
The song seems to be about people's reactions to the message that the world is coming to an end...
The first part is the narrator's reaction; his mind fills with memories of things he considers important to him, or things he like. His favourite melody, electrical irons and so on.
Then he tries to find comfort in the people around him, something he never thought he'd need to do.
The next part is the reaction of other people, and how the world is turned upside down. The line about the priest shows this quite clearly I think. Remember that gay people don't hate religion, but religion hate gay people. And in this song you see the opposite,
And then he sings about the girl in the ice-cream parlour, who seems completely unaffected, and sort of becomes a rock for him to cling to.
Also, on the comments that Jesus hated gay people I have to ask you how you know that... Have you asked him? Keep in mind that the Bible is about as biased as something can get... Actually, I've heard the opposite, that Jesus weren't against anyone, but quite on the contrary supporting everyone... But, I'm an atheist, so what do I know.
