motorbar I think the H.P. means "High Price", just my opinion. I LOVE the this song's lyrics!

H.P. stands for House of Parliament. H.P. demands are equivalent to federal taxes in the U.S. 'Clinging to your stocks and Bonds, paying your H.P. demands forever...' Really, nobody could figure that out?

@moongirl57s I'm pretty sure H.P. referred to "Hire-Payment", a scheme popular in England whereby a customer agrees to a contract to acquire an asset by paying an initial installment (e.g. 40% of the total) and repays the balance of the price of the asset plus interest over a period of time.
