Lyrics

He's not appreciated
He's not appreciated
He's not appreciated

Drink a 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 treats

(Couple of lines - see hex induction hr)

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 a long draught, dan
For the hip priest
