Interesting.  A fellow American at the company I worked for in England 
once
gave me a lecture on this very line.  He suggested it referred to men 
who
sought solitude working in the North Sea oil fields and also the 
sacramental
oil of the priesthood.

I believe he said the "coil" in "and girls who lost their children; 
cursed
the men who fit the coil" referred to IUDs.
