The Calling references

Allusions and references in The Calling.


 * 1) Shoulder the sky is a direct references to an A. E. Housman poem, Last Poems IX. Joey also referenced this poem in the release post for Horror.
 * 2) Do you like my dress? It's got pockets references a frequent complaint that women's clothes frequently have no pockets or insufficient pockets; given the imagery/tone of the rest of the song and the following line being about rocks cracking, it could also be a reference to Virginia Woolf's death.
