Lyrics "I Have Not Been to Oxford Town"

[Verse 1]

Baby Grace is the victim

She was 14 years of age

And the wheels are turning, turning

For the finger points at me

 

[Chorus]

(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

 

[Verse 2]

And the prison priests are decent

My attorney seems sincere

I fear my days are numbered

Lord get me out of here

 

[Chorus]

 

[Bridge]

This is your shadow on my wall

This is my flesh and blood

This is what I could've been

 

[Verse 3]

And the wheels are turning and turning

As the 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

 

[Chorus]

 

[Bridge]

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

Pay the private eye

(All's well)

20th century dies

(All's well)

20th century dies

(All's well)

 

[Outro]

All's well, all's well

Toll the bell

Pay the private eye

(All's well)

20th century dies

Toll the bell

Pay the private eye

 

(All's well)

 

[Verse 1]
Baby Grace is the victim
She was 14 years of age
And the wheels are turning, turning
For the finger points at me

 

[Chorus]
(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

 

[Verse 2]
And the prison priests are decent
My attorney seems sincere
I fear my days are numbered
Lord get me out of here

 

[Chorus]

 

[Bridge]
This is your shadow on my wall
This is my flesh and blood
This is what I could've been

 

[Verse 3]
And the wheels are turning and turning
As the 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

 

[Chorus]

 

[Bridge]
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
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
(All's well)
20th century dies
(All's well)

 

[Outro]
All's well, all's well
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies
Toll the bell
Pay the private eye
(All's well)
20th century dies

20th century dies
