^AmFreedom for the scapegoat, leaving Reading ^DGaol ^AmRheumy eyes, just pierced his heart like crucifixion ^Dnails ^AmShaking fists and razors gleamed, he never ^Bm/Astood a chance ^AmWhen ^Gthe ^Bb/Fink ra^Fn red on ^E7Fleet Street you turned your eyes to ^AmFrance

^AmHumbled far from Dublin, chased across the wave^Ds ^AmYour biting wit still sharp enough to slice through every ^Dpage ^AmDestitute and beaten by the ^Bm/Asystem of the crown The ^Ambitter ^Gpill you ^Bb/Fswall^Fow tasted ^E7sweeter going ^Amdown

[CHORUS]

^DmAnd lo^E7oking back with a ^Amgreat indifference ^DmLooking back at the ^E7limestone ^Amwalls ^BbThinking how beauty ^Amdeceived you ^DmKnowing how love foo^E7susls us ^E7all

^AmA golden boy in velveteen landed in New ^DYork ^AmThe past was so seductive when they paid to hear you ^Dtalk ^AmBaccarat and champagne flutes, tobacco from ^Bm/AVirginia ^AmLong be^Gfore the ^Bb/Flords and ^Flaw branded ^E7Oscar Wilde a ^Amsinner

[CHORUS]

^DmLooking back on the ^E7cold, bleak ^Amwinter ^DmLooking back on those ^E7long, dark ^Amdays ^BbSet like the head of John the ^AmBaptist ^DmIn the arms of ^E7susSalome^E7

^AmDon't turn around it's a white gull screaming ^DDon't cry out loud, you never know who's listening You've ^Fseen it all the ^Cexiled Unfor^G7given From the ^Bbstately homes of ^FEngland to her ^Amprisons ^AmLooking back at the hardened lifers ^DLooking back on the wretched poor ^FThinking ma^Cybe they were my ^G7saviours ^BbStrange to think I'll ^Fmiss them ^Amall ^BbStrange to thing I'll ^Fmiss them ^Amall

[CHORUS]

And ^Dmlooking back on the ^E7great ^Amindifference ^DmLooking back at the ^E7limestone ^Amwalls ^BbThinking how beauty ^Amdeceived you ^DmKnowing how love fools us ^E7susall ^E7
