In this context it is a person who is trying to pull a fast one inn some way but tricking you to do something you don't want to do.
A London thing was seafood on a Sunday for your tea.
The 'winkle man' used to come around and you'd go to his cart and buy your jellied eels, shrimps, whelks and winkles.
When I used to go to my nan we would be given a pin to 'winkle' the winkle out of the shell.
The two things link the conman and the the extraction of the winkle

Ah...
"Can-Utility appears to be a word-play on the name of an old King, Canute (also spelled Kanute, or Knut) The Coastliners are his followers who in one version of the story are sycophants needing to be shown the truth, and in the other are the ones exposing the delusions of the king. Peter’s lyrics seem to weave elements of both tales into one, leading us from the near future of Get ‘em Out by Friday, to a quasi-mythical timeless area."

The contrast between the music and Peter's vocals makes so much early Genesis work.
Yet, sadly, it often led to tensions in the band.

Collins doubling vocals.
So very effective.
These are some of my favourite PG vocals.
