Albion is the latin word for england, same as caledonia is scotland and hibernian is ireland. Pete muses about the good ship Arcadia which would go on a voyage to some sort of dreamland/heaven. Arcadia is mentioned in old myths and legends. Fuck knows what arcady is,maybe going on about that wherever he is right now is almost Arcadia but no quite, hence arcady
Yeah Albion is England and the dream was to get as many free thinking people aboard the good ship Albion and sail it towards the utopia that was Arcadia.
This song has one of my all-time favorite lines---"the catgut binds my ankles to your bedstead." I have no idea what it means, but I just love how it randomly shows up and sounds so perfectly right.
lol ditsy007 gallagher brothers r infamous cunts. no melody? questionable only to someone wihtout ears. Tone deaf? melody runs through this song like the streams of arcady.
<3 .... That is all.

A great and lovely song. but the quality is terrible and destroys so much of the great song.

I believe Arcady in mind of Pete Doherty and of Carl Barat, it is the Ship which drives them to the imaginary country the Albion! :)
