Martin once said it's about a day where nothing happens, a black day, a blank day... It has a sarcastic tone to it, esp. the line "I'll drink to that".
The "a brief period of rejoicing" is producer/label manager Daniel Miller impersonating Winston Churchill... it goes along pretty well with the song.
