Jericho and St Giles are certainly Oxford references, but of course Jericho is also a middle eastern city mentioned in the bible and so a connection with the Salome references in the previous verses.
"That if I could/I'd string a cord/Right from my stomach/Into yours" is almost a motherly image, an umbilicus between them. Then in "City Song" she sings "They took a human from my waist..." and it's about abortion but it also connects to this one I think.
It seems as if in this story Edward is going travelling to the far east for Christmas 2006.
