At one time, the Bishops looked like no more than musical curators. Just another clerical error. But this single may well pull the big congregation these saintly fellows deserve. Essentially it's no more than a Bo Diddley testament given the New English treatment, but done with the verve of hell-fire preachers. Should get them dancing in the aisles, fainting in the fonts, and nipping through nimble knees-up in the knaves. If this doesn't get into the charts, then there's definitely no justice. Rich men mounted on camels will be passing through the eyes of needles into the kingdom of heaven.
