Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

I exit the spotlight glare
I stepped out into air
a perfume so rarefied
"Here the bride"

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

at her now
She's starting to
She looks she was born to it
But it was so much
I was cruel

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

In an and pale carnation
A satin and velvet elevation
She the tipsy headdress of her spouse
hers recalls a honey house

There'll be no sorrows to drown
Early in the morning in your evening
But it was so much
When I was

The entrance hall was arranged with hostesses and
Who turned out to be the younger wives nursing schoolgirl
Parting the of those few feint friends
Fingers once are now too heavy to extend

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

Two editors like playground sneaks
Running a book on which of them is to last the week
One of calls to me and he says, "I know you"
"You gave me this tattoo in eighty-two"
"You were a spoilt then with a record to plug"
"And I was a seaside thug"
"Things really changed that much"
"One of us is getting paid too much"

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

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