As confirmed by Scott at various shows, ‘Snake’ is about a draught excluder that he and his then girlfriend concluded was gay due to being multicoloured. The song depicts him traveling to New York with the ‘Snake’ in an attempt to win back the girl.
[Verse 1]
Me and Snake talk about you every day
I can't wait to see your face
And he tells me he feels the same
We lie awake, we're tired but we can't get to sleep
I'm tired 'cause I've scraped through the day
He's tired because he's been out late, again
And there he lies, staring up with his big gay eyes
And whispers to me "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm tired of missing B"
[Chorus]
I'll wake with Snake
He's soft inside but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
And he's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon
[Verse 2]
Yesterday Snake told me about the time
When we came to meet you off the plane
We all drove home in Wheels
He was proud and awfully glad that I took him out
I said "How does New York sound?"
He said "It sounds quite loud"
So pack your pipes
Pack your Chapstick and your tights
And one shoe for going out at night
We're go to visit B
We'll take a camera
And go to the zoo
And take pictures of other snakes with you
And hope one of 'em turns out to be gay
[Chorus]
I'll wake with Snake
He's soft inside, but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
And he's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon

“…but we did. Oh good god. This song will not go away. What started as a joke (not about my cock, incidentally) has become one of the most oft' requested songs in our band’s short history. Not my proudest moment, but heartfelt and entertaining nonetheless. Good old snake. I wonder if he’s still on t...
