There is Jesus on a cross
As though an advertisement
For LNER
Or, as it used to be known INRI
Either way
It was Bartolomeo Di Fruosino
Who got the hospital’s commission
Sometime around 1411
This church is not my church
This church is way too sombre
Take me to the bullfights
To drink with you my hombre
Tonight is the night
Of the beautiful people
The great and the good
Are coming to town
It is the feeding
Of the five-thousand
Under chandeliers
And candlelight
Soon the carriages will arrive
For now the final, make-over, make-up
Is being applied, the final quiff
Is being so so carefully quiffed
