It was a joke refering to a recent hapening in Ireland which you obviously don't know about...
In regards to the loan, ah it all makes sense now.
Can't believe i forgot about this had to have a freind point it out to me.
England takes out a loan at a lower interest rate with another country as it's credit rating is currently better.
It then lends to Ireland at a higher interest rate, thus England makes a tidy profit.
Bonjour, la noirceur, mon vieil ami
Je suis venu te reparler
Car une vision piétinante doucement
A laissé ses graines lorsque je dormais
Et la vision
Qui était plantée dans mon cerveau
Demeure toujours
Parmi le son du silence
