Hip Priest (Live, Jimmy's Music Club, New Orleans, 23 June 1981)

He's not appreciated.

He's not appreciated.

He's not appreciated.

Drink the long draught, Dan,

for the Hip Priest.

I said drink the long draught, Dan,

for the Hip Priest!

He's not appreciated

He's 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's not appreciated.

It's purple psychology.

Not just an old lady's.

That's hip hip hip hip hit hit hit Hip Priest

That's hip hip hip hip hit hit hit 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 hit hit hit Hip Priest

All the young groups know

All the young groups know

They can't ever take advantage because I'm a Hip Priest.

I was as clean as a packet of chocolate chips.

That's hip hip hip hip hit hit hit Hip Priest

And if the good people knew they would say

He's not appreciated

He's not appreciated

So drink the long draught, Dan,

For the Hip Priest
