Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

I through the spotlight glare
I stepped out thin air
Into a so rarefied
"Here the bride"

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

at her now
She's to yawn
She like she was born to it
But it was so easier
I was cruel

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

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

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

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

The ghostly first wife glides up on stage whispering to talkers
Spilling secrets out to flunkies and castrato walkers
See that
that scene
the "Dancing Queen"

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

There are 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
I was cruel
