The title comes from an off hand comment from Eric Idle. He was interviewed after Monty Python's Holy Grail and the interviewer asked him what their next film would be he replied "Jesus And His Quest For Glory." They, off course, made The Life Of Brian. So it's a nod to Monty Python.
I'll have a think about the meter and some of the rhymes.
Would "At the point of a gun" work better? The barrel of a gun line was reference to Chairman Mao "Every good communist knows power grows out of the barrel of a gun." But I suppose it is not an obvious reference and unlikely to be picked up on by anyone anyway so I can probably afford to lose it.
