"Hip Priest" lyrics - THE FALL

He is not appreciated
He is not appreciated
He is not appreciated

Drink a long draught, Dan
For the hip priest
I said drink the long draught, Dan
For the hip priest

He is not appreciated
He is not appreciated

White collar hits motorway services
It's the hip priest
From the eyes he can see they know
It's the hip priest

He is not appreciated

It's purple psychology
Not just an old lady's

That's hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, ah hip priest

That's hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip priest
And he's gonna make an appearance, he's gonna make an appearance

Was shown in a freakshow early on
And drunk from small brown bottles since I was so long
'Cause I'm a hip priest
'Cause I'm a hip priest
People only need me when they're down and gone to seed
'Cause I'm a hip priest
'Cause I'm a hip priest
It's appreciation half-won
And they hate their allegiance to hip preacher one
Hip priest

I got my last clean, dirty shirt outta the wardrobe
I got my last clean, dirty shirt outta the wardrobe
And all the good people know

That's hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip priest

All the young groups know
All the young groups know
They can imitate, but I teach, because I'm a hip priest
I was as clean as a packet of chocolate treats
[?]
That's hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip priest

And if the good people knew they would say
"He is not appreciated"
"He is not appreciated"
So drink a long draught, Dan
For the hip priest
