"We knew it was Christmas / As we opened a can of god".
I got into a snarly argument with Tom Leonard recently, as to where that
line came from -- I thought it was somewhere around Merkland Street -- which
concluded with Tom saying in an exasperated tone of voice, "Look, Robin, I
*wrote* the fucking poem, and while I can't remember where I wrote it, it
sure as hell wasn't in "A Priest Got On At Merkland Street."
Makes you think, that.
Nah?
