The third track off “Hex Enduction Hour”, and one of the Fall’s best-known songs. Allegedly it refers to Mark E. Smith’s prowess at Tarot readings, which he used to do in exchange for drugs. One might recognize it from the background of this:
Hip Priest Lyrics
[Chorus]
He's not appreciated
He's not appreciated
He's not appreciated
[Verse 1]
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 hip hip hip hip hip priest
That's hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip priest
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 imitate but I teach, because I'm a Hip Priest
I'm as clean as a packet of Chocolate Treets
One-time feast was tray o'grease, hip priest
I practise bad unfeared art
That's hip 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 the long draught, Dan
For the hip priest
