Calling All Demons

A reptile thinking its first thoughts

Sets no limit on what it will excuse itself to do

The head of John the Baptist sitting on a tea tray

There's a fan club meeting down the steps on Briggate

Ice cream, eggs and bread

Raising an eyebrow then the curtain falls

Down in Reading Gaol the writing's on the wall

Oooh Salome everybody knows me

News travels slow

Wipes its feet and comes inside

Coming home from India to the East Side Insh slums

A filthy city river and bubbling sedition

New imagination challenging the right to rule

News travels slow

Wipes its feet and comes inside

Speaks when it's spoken to

Leaves in its own time

Philistine Christians

Focus on a target

The elegant gesture

A glimpse of flesh

Calling all the angels

Calling all the demons

Calling all the angels
