This is the song that first got me into Emmy The Great. It's pure genius from start to finish.
I think that "We're listening to some old man/Say he came back to life with a hole in his head" may be mistranscribed, to my ear it sounds like "a hole in his hand" which would rhyme better and fit the Easter imagery better.
The "Gloria in excelsis Deo" ( translates from the latin as "Glory To God In The Highest" ) is what the angels sang when Christ was born in the new testament and has been incorporated into many hymns going back at least as far as the third century.
Subtle and brilliant this is one of the finest lyrics I have ever read/heard.
