(In The Wake Of) The Swollen Goat Lyrics

The line "albatross on your neck" was referenced today in a Sinfest strip, which I will link at the bottom of this post. Does anybody know if this song got that line from a different source? Because in the Sinfest strip, it is represented as "the albatross around your neck," which is slightly different from the line in this song. Is this line from a book, or a movie, or something?
