Of course! As Mark pointed out…Winterson has never lost her skills as Preacher in her delivery: the rule of three; the rhetorical questions; the emotive register; repetition…..
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me
Am sure Winterson won’t mind the reference to Dusty Springfield’s immortal anthem..
