The "terrible twins" is such a unique phrase, so this seems interesting but it's hard to read. Who were they?

I hear the Seven Deadly Sins

The beginning of "It Never Rains" is also mysterious.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

If the deadly sins "came to call on" someone, then that someone must have committed sin, or possiby have been sinned against (more likely the former, given the rest of the lyrics).

Those are the "Terrible Twins" from the newspaper... they are now called "Silent twins" because of the documental made in 1986... but in the time Mark was writing the lyrics, who knows....
