Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

I exit through the spotlight
I out into thin air
a perfume so rarefied
"Here the bride"

Not quite aside, they snide, "she's four"
"There's number three by the door"
Those in the know, don't even flatter her, they go one
"She was speedboats in a trade show when I met her"

at her now
She's to yawn
She looks like she was to it
But it was so much
When I was

She out her arms to me
"another melody?"
So she can dance her out on the floor
The captains of just lie there where they fall

In an eau-de-nil and pale
A satin sash and velvet
She the tipsy headdress of her spouse
While hers recalls a honey

There'll be no sorrows left to
Early in the in your evening gown
But it was so easier
I was cruel

The hall was arranged with hostesses and ushers
Who turned out to be the younger nursing schoolgirl crushes
Parting the waves of those few friends

The ghostly first wife glides up on whispering to raucous talkers
Spilling family secrets out to flunkies and castrato
See that
Watch that
the "Dancing Queen"

Two newspaper editors playground sneaks
Running a book on which of them is to last the week
One of them to me and he says, "I know you"
"You gave me tattoo back in eighty-two"
"You were a child then with a record to plug"
"And I was a shaven-headed thug"
"Things haven't really that much"
"One of us is still getting too much"

are some things I can't report
The memory of his retort
But it was so easier
When I was

at me now
She's starting to
She looks she was born to it
Ah, but it was so much
When I was
