Not sure exactly what "Drunken Skiers Off Piste" is about lyrically, but Cope's pronunciation of piste to sound like pissed, makes the whole song very confusing. It's meant to sound like "beast", and the phrase "off piste" means off the groomed runs (or in the trees) in reference to downhill skiing. Not sure if all of the UK mispronouces this word, or if Cope saw the phrase and ran with it.

Truly, drunken skiers off piste would mean they die from hitting a tree or falling off a cliff. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
