Zurich as the Roman customs post that never stopped charging: two saints who carried their own severed heads uphill, women in armour on the Lindenhof, an organ removed from the Grossmünster, a filled-in frog moat now the priciest street in Europe, and a pig market renamed Paradeplatz. The song closes on its own thesis line: pay at the gate.
