"Drink the long
Drink the long draught
Drink the long draught for big priest
Drink the long draught down
Drink the long
Drink the long draught
Big priest"
If we decide to draw meaning from this potentially abstract section then it could be imagined that this is describing priests getting drunk.
Later in the section...
"Check the record
Check the record
Check the guy's track record
Check the record
Check the guy's track record"
Could this be a reference to the shocking history of priests descovered to have a track record in sex offences.
Rock the record could be the priest is like a muso "cool" priest.
In this (completey made up by me and probably nothing to do with it) perspective this is a song attacking peadophillia in the catholc church and therefore making powerful social commentry contrary to the surface appearance of the song being a random, ranty sureal poem without direct meaning. Or is it?
@phil107133 I agree I heard Mr Smith said it was about William of Orange but that sounds less Inter than if it WAS about peado priests so to me it will always be a cautionary cry about peado religious leaders
