I Have Not Been To Oxford Town

 (Music: Bowie/Eno Lyrics: Bowie)
 
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
 
CHORUS
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
All's well
But I have not been to Oxford Town
All's well
But I have not been to Oxford Town
 
CHORUS
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 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
All's well
But I have not been to Oxford Town
All's well
But I have not been to Oxford Town
 
CHORUS
This is my bunk with two sheets
This is my food though foul
This is what I could have been
 
CHORUS (ad lib.)
