____________________ / 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
Verse: “I keep thinking that you are going to change I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange But I'm a fool to think something so impossible You ain't ever gonna change You ain't ever gonna change Oh no, Jericho Until I blow”
Verse: (similar to previous) “I keep thinking that you are going to write I keep thinking that you are going to compromise But I'm a fool to think something so improbable You ain't ever gonna rise You ain't ever gonna rise, oh no Jericho, until I take you by surprise”
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”
Verse: (similar to previous, and add one extra bar of E7) “I keep thinking that you are going to change I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange But I'm a fool to think something so impossible You ain't ever gonna change You ain't ever gonna change Oh no, Jericho Until I blow Until I blow”
