Textes et Paroles de Oxford Girl

I met a man whose brother said he knew a man who knew the Oxford girlIs it true what you hear, did he do it out of fear?Was the day drawing near when a child would start to show?Was it rage or shame or the damage to his name?Was it something worse, does anyone know?Did she pay a price for making them look twice?Like a glimpse of paradise across a dull and bitter landDid she pass them by, did she dare to meet their eye?Did she scorn them all and did they understand?A grief to her father -did she really leave him?a lover to her brother -yes we all believe himtemptation to her betters -no better then she should beunfaithful to her lover -he always knew she would beShe says: I never had a chance to prove them wrongMy time was short, the story longNo I never had a chance to prove them wrongIt's always them that write the songDid he go to ground, was the suitcase ever found?Did the police come swarming round on a trail already cold?Did he lead them on a dance, did he run away to France?Or did he shop himself before the day was old?O she was bound to lose if she set her face to chooseThey never could excuse her for stirring up their fearsShe was much to young, the earth has stopped her tongueYou can hear the voices calling down the yearsShe says: I never had a chance to prove them wrongMy time was short, the story longNo I never had a chance to prove them wrongIt's always them that write the songI met a man whose brother said he knew a man who knew the Oxford girlIt's always them that write the song
