The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde):

Very interesting, I was aware of some other references in her songs, but considering how much I love The Picture of Dorian Gray I can't believe I missed this one! The other Dorian Gray references come in Paper Doll (one of my very most favourites) and *I think* Rooms on Fire? I'm not sure, I'd have to look again. Oh, and Tragedy of One's Own Soul

Actually, I love the lyrics to these songs, just the music doesn't match or something.
