Since no one has tried to explain this, I'll give my interpretation =)
A priest is madly in love with a woman (the nurse), but the nurse decides to kill him (with the most dramatic of methods, a Gatling gun...) and bury his body (the last verse).
This is just one way to think about it, of course.
The lyric in the first line is actually "he takes his dinner in the bed".
The lyric in the first line is actually "he takes his dinner in the bed".
And the last verse should be
And the last verse should be
Polar nettles set on end
Move like starlings up a cliff
Antennae of her foggy touch
The force field round her frosty hips
Whose shape recalls the wicked spade
That buried him but on his lips
The last rites of Nurse
Someday soon
Polar nettles set on end
Move like starlings up a cliff
Antennae of her foggy touch
The force field round her frosty hips
Whose shape recalls the wicked spade
That buried him but on his lips
The last rites of Nurse
Someday soon
