Elton John - Oscar Wilde Gets Out

Текст песни: Freedom for the scapegoat leaving Reading Jail Rheumy eyes just pierced his heart like crucifixion nails Shaking fists and razors gleamed, you never stood a chance When the ink ran red on Fleet Street You turned your eyes to France Humbled far from Dublin, chased across the waves Your biting wit still sharp enough to slice through every page Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown The bitter pill you swallowed tasted sweeter going down And looking back on the great indifference Looking back at the limestone walls Thinking how beauty deceived you Knowing how love fools us all A golden boy in velveteen landed in New York The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia Long before the lords and law branded Oscar Wilde a sinner And looking back on a cold bleak winter Looking back on those long dark days Feel like the head of Joan the Baptist In the arms of Salome Don't turn around it's a white gull screaming Don't cry out loud you never know who's listening You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven From the stately homes of England to her prisons And looking back at the hardened lifers Looking back at the wretched poor Thinking maybe they were my saviors Strange to think I'll miss them all Strange to thing I'll miss them all

Freedom for the scapegoat leaving Reading Jail
Rheumy eyes just pierced his heart like crucifixion nails
Shaking fists and razors gleamed, you never stood a chance
When the ink ran red on Fleet Street
You turned your eyes to France

Humbled far from Dublin, chased across the waves
Your biting wit still sharp enough to slice through every page
Destitute and beaten by the system of the crown
The bitter pill you swallowed tasted sweeter going down

And looking back on the great indifference
Looking back at the limestone walls
Thinking how beauty deceived you
Knowing how love fools us all

A golden boy in velveteen landed in New York
The past was so seductive when they paid to hear you talk
Baccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from Virginia
Long before the lords and law branded Oscar Wilde a sinner

And looking back on a cold bleak winter
Looking back on those long dark days
Feel like the head of Joan the Baptist
In the arms of Salome

Don't turn around it's a white gull screaming
Don't cry out loud you never know who's listening
You've seen it all the exiled Unforgiven
From the stately homes of England to her prisons

And looking back at the hardened lifers
Looking back at the wretched poor
Thinking maybe they were my saviors
Strange to think I'll miss them all
Strange to thing I'll miss them all
