the context yarb uses here is incorrect. Keanes use of the word bollix here is literally you can stick it in you ballocks - ballocks being another term for the male appendage. Irish expressions do not have to make sense and there is a certain poetic licence taken for the most part.
For an example by an irsh person of its (american) correct sense check out colm meaney in a start rek episode who couldnt put some techno gear together and in frustration throws the equipment away "ah this is bollixed"
