Sandi Thom lyrics - can anybody enlighten me?

'And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale'

Does anybody know the link between the National Anthem and (I presume) Procol Harem?

The song "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" makes reference to both the Punk and Hippy "eras"...

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air


"God Save The Queen" is a punk anthem courtesy of the Sex Pistols and Procol Harum's classic single is symbolic of the late 60s. Thus that lyrical sentiment quoted in your question continues to evoke both styles of music.
