Company of Thieves – Oscar Wilde

I’ve got an awsome tune for everyone tonight, coming from the Chicago, Illinois indie/alt-rock band Company of Thieves.  Oscar Wilde can be found on the band’s first major label release Ordinary Riches, digitally released in January of this year.  Named after the famous Irish writer Oscar WildeOscar Wilde reviews, the song won the New York Songwriters Circle contest in 2007.  Ordinary riches would peak at #5 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, and at #162 the Billboard 200 chart.  

Episodes and parallels
Don’t you want the invitation
Big bright accent, catty smile
Oscar Wilde confrontation
Ah, Live like it’s the style
When we waltz on your front porch
We are all our-own devil
We are all our-own devil
We make this world our hell
Porcelain teacups decorate
Tables and the conversation
Beauty pageants, all the time
Is running out, the time is running out
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running in time
We’re always running from time
