the "should have been dead on a Sunday morning" definitely holds half of the songs meaning in my opinion.

but what is the meaning it holds?

Yup. Brilliant lyrics in that there is (at least) a dual meaning... At first glance the words indicate a very human feeling of guilt after an extremely wild Saturday night (a suggestion of potential overdoes perhaps) but a deeper look indicates that it is a reference to Jesus himself who (by human standards) "Should have been dead on a Sunday morning" after his crucifixion but instead left an empty tomb for humanity to ponder.
