Oscar Wilde Gets Out - Elton John
Freedom for the scapegoat leaving Reading Gaol,

eyes just pierced his heart like crucifiction nails.

Shaking fists and never stood a chance

on Fleet Street you turned your eyes to France

Humble fog 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
takes some sweeter going down.

Looking back on the great indifference

Looking back at the lime stone walls

Thinking how beauty deceived you

knowing how love fools us all.

A golden boy in velvet he,
landed in New York

The past was so seductive,
when they paid to hear you talk

and champagne flew
tobacco from Virginia

long before the lords and
law branded Oscar Wilde a sinner.

Looking back on the cold bleak winter

Looking back on those long dark days

Felt like the head of John the Baptist

in the arms of Salome.

Don't turn around if the white dog's screaming?
don't cry outloud you never know who's listening

of the exile are forgiven

from the stately homes of England to her prison.

Looking back on the hard life of,
looking back on the wretched poor,
thinking, maybe there goes my saviour.

Oh strange to think I miss them all,

strange to think I miss them all.

Looking back on the great indifference

looking back at the lime stone walls.

Thinking how beauty deceived you,

knowing how love fools us all.
