I always found the Christian reference in the last stanza to be overt and disturbing. Was Gibb comparing himself to Christ? Or was it that the whole lyric was covertly Christian until the final line, when the poet felt he hadn't made his point yet and had to make it explicit? (By the way, the link to the Macartney website for "Uncle Albert" launches a pop-up-)
