/ Rufus Wainwright / "Jericho; it's a very private song, but what I will
/ Jericho / say is that it's just about a person being a city and
/ Out of the Game / that city being Jericho. It's perhaps the most visceral
/___________________/ song on the album. I mean, there's a kind of intensity
and focus that when pop accomplishes that, it is its, you
know, finest moment. And I think with Jericho we came pretty damn close to that.
You know, it reminds me of certain Elton John songs or Fleetwood Mac. These up-
tempo numbers that are at the same time incredibly emotional and, I wouldn't say
sinister, but war-like." - Rufus

Bridge:
“Baby, I know that you're too sad to cry
My little darling, guess what? So am I
Still I believe we ought to shed a tear
The open hearted have no thing to fear

But I don't even think you hear me at all
Under your medieval ceiling behind your biblical wall
Guess I'll have to put my trumpet back in the case
And get behind this here canon covered in lace
Covered in lace”
