I Have Not Been To Oxford Town - Alternative Single Mix
Baby Grace is the victim
She was 14 years of age
And the wheels are turning, turning
For the finger points at me
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
No, I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
And the prison priests are decent
My attorney seems sincere
I fear my days are numbered
Lord, get me out of here
Here (all's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
This is your shadow on my wall
This is my flesh and blood
This is what I could've been
And the wheels are turning and turning
As this 20th Century dies
If I had not ripped the fabric
If time had not stood still
If I had not met Ramona
If I'd only paid my bill
(All's well)
I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
This is my shave in hell
This is my salute
This is what I could have been
This is what I could have been
(All's well)
But the wheels are turning and turning
(All's well)
As this 20th Century dies
This is my bunk with two sheets
This is my food though foul
This is what I could have been
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th Century dies
Toll the bell (But I have not been to Oxford town)
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies (no, I have not been to Oxford town)
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye (no, I have not been to Oxford town))
(All's well)
20th century dies (I have not been to Oxford town)
(All's well)
20th century dies
(All's well)
(All's well)
(All's well)
(All's well)
She was 14 years of age
And the wheels are turning, turning
For the finger points at me
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
No, I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
And the prison priests are decent
My attorney seems sincere
I fear my days are numbered
Lord, get me out of here
Here (all's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
This is your shadow on my wall
This is my flesh and blood
This is what I could've been
And the wheels are turning and turning
As this 20th Century dies
If I had not ripped the fabric
If time had not stood still
If I had not met Ramona
If I'd only paid my bill
(All's well)
I have not been to Oxford Town
(All's well)
But I have not been to Oxford Town
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
This is my shave in hell
This is my salute
This is what I could have been
This is what I could have been
(All's well)
But the wheels are turning and turning
(All's well)
As this 20th Century dies
This is my bunk with two sheets
This is my food though foul
This is what I could have been
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th Century dies
Toll the bell (But I have not been to Oxford town)
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies (no, I have not been to Oxford town)
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye (no, I have not been to Oxford town))
(All's well)
20th century dies (I have not been to Oxford town)
(All's well)
20th century dies
(All's well)
(All's well)
(All's well)
(All's well)
