A fictionalised account of a run-in with Satan, Devil Came a Calling is an allegory for the temptations to reject God and his law that come with material abundance and popularity, such as Paddy McAloon was likely no stranger to at this point in his career.

Devil Came a Calling Lyrics

The Devil came a-calling
We took a midnight stroll
I asked him what he wanted
He said your immortal soul

For fifty years I’ll spoil you
Like the only man alive
With power, wealth, a mansion
On Fellatio Drive

The Devil came a-calling
All smiles and flattery
In his hands a contract
Exclusively for me

When the fifty years are over
I asked what happens then
He pretended not to hear me
But he offered me his pen

He showed me a house
It was as big as a star
He said to me Patrick
What do you think so far

The Devil came a-calling
No brimstone, fire, nor rain
In fact, I found him charming
Articulate, urbane

The Devil came a-calling
Charisma all the way
Imagine being master
Of all that you survey

He showed me his world
Hell, he threw me the keys
Introduced me to women
They went down on their knees

The Devil came a-calling
We took a midnight stroll
I asked him what he wanted
He said your immortal soul

In his hands were papers
He told me they were signed
My memory is hazy
I’m sure that I declined

The Devil came a-calling
No brimstone, fire, nor rain
In fact, I found him charming
Articulate, urbane

In his hands were papers
He showed me they were signed
My memory is hazy, I thought that I had declined
My memory is hazy, I’m sure that I declined

The Devil came a-calling
The Devil came a-calling
