Company of Thieves is based around the musical partnership of Genevieve Schatz and Marc Walloch. Walloch provides the unexpected riffing and blues influence while Schatz delivers the soaring and sweet vocal melodies. Their ode to the master wordsmith is a crunchy, mid-paced bit of soulful drama – like a partnership of Neil Young and Fiona Apple. If you like the track, check out the album.
Lyrics for Oscar Wilde by Company of Thieves
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
