#TenuousEasterJams No4 Ol' Tom has taken in a number of bits of biblical storytelling and put them in some really great songs. This is the closing song from The Mule Variations and its a wonderful thing.

Come down off the cross, we can use the wood
Does life seem nasty, brutish and short? Come on up to the house The seas are stormy And you can't find no port Come on up to the house
Such a great song, by such a magnificent artist. Genius.
