Feb. 15th, 2008 09:36 pmLast night I dreamed that Oscar Wilde did guest back-up vocals for Pet Shop Boys and they were covering A.E. Houseman's "oh who is that young sinner..." poem about Oscar Wilde's arrest that's in "The Invention of Love."
The dream combined my recent realization that that poem has the same rhythm as the song "Windmills of Your Mind" (seriously, try replacing "when you knew that it was over were you suddenly aware / that the autumn leaves were turning to the color of his hair" with "And between his spells of labor in the time he has to spare / He can curse the God that made him for the color of his hair") with listening to Pet Shop Boys (possibly covering New World Order?).
