I noticed the pipes in this photo look like he is holding a pyramid shape. This also triggered a memory of when first hearing "Pretty Little Head" I thought what he was singing was "Pyramid". It was only later that I heard it was supposed to have been "Hillmen", not "Pyramid". The lyrics seem to me to be about druids making sacrifice, perhaps the "Pretty little head" is one to be sacrificed?

"In Greek mythology, Zeus (the king of the gods) lusts after a young woman named Callisto, a nymph of Artemis. Hera, Zeus' jealous wife, transforms the beautiful Callisto into a bear. Callisto, while in bear form, later encounters her son Arcas. Arcas almost shoots the bear, but to avert the tragedy, Zeus turns them into bears and put in the sky, forming Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. " Ursa Major (Latin: "Larger Bear"), also known as the Great Bear, is a constellation visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. It can best be seen in April. It is dominated by the widely recognized asterism known as the Big Dipper or Plough, which is a useful pointer toward north, and which has mythological significance in numerous world cultures.

URSA MAJOR, URSA MINOR.druids making sacrifice? Yup. Try reading between the lines, I thought people did that here? You think they are bringing their garland and spices on a picnic? And the lyrics are being directed at a female who is obviously concerned about what they are doing, hence "Don't worry your pretty little head". They even mention why they are doing whatever it is, "For Protection".
