Introduction:
C
I can hear a Jericho Trumpet
But the sky's perfectly clear
Am
Whether it&rsquo s real or recollection
It&rsquo s like I'm stranded on a pier

Watching waves of emigration
Being rewound off the beach

Ebbs out at my heels

You see that barren blue under the engines
There ain&rsquo t a fish left in the Levantine sea
Am
There ain&rsquo t a dolphin torch in all the West Bank's flanks

The wise man knows that all things flow
Through tubes to their destination

Through the sewers of Athens and the odd BUK missile
And the Underground's tube stations

I&rsquo ve never been one for crusades

But now I hear a Jericho Trumpet

You can't be sure you're doing much more

Than playing for some rumoured stakes

So when the pilgrims become bandits on their transits
N.C.

Now the red top rags are all flying black flags

The lowlifes are making gains

You&rsquo d be thinking they were staff writers

The gulls in Crete are sharpening their beaks

Seamstresses sew in hell

A tailored cut, a perfect fit

A skull grinding its teeth on each lapel
