"Postally pipped" is a play on "pipped at the post", i.e. overtaken at the last minute. "Our pigeons have finally landed" is to do with pigeon racing; if your pigeon at least lands, you've had some degree of success.
I love this song, but it gives me the creeps.
I imagine it's from the perspective of someone who is hired to help organised criminals fix horse races, has been doing so for years, but then decides this time to fix the race in his own favour instead, and run away with the proceeds.
In his mind he's imagining the great time he'll have, but you know that he will eventually get tracked down.
Just listen to it with that in mind and you'll see what I mean.
