Goblins
Yet another reference to hangovers here. Goblins are the things in your head which are banging the bass drums the morning after you went drinking.
Perhaps inspired by the BlackAdder episode where the cast get very drunk and sing a song about "see the little goblin, see his little feet, see his little nosey-wosey, isn't the goblin sweet" it is regularly used as part of a description of your morning-after state of health.
For example: I'm very broken – the goblins are driving tractors through my skull.
