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 aside, they snide, "she's number four"
"There's three just by the door"
Those in the know, don't even her, they go one better
"She was selling in a trade show when 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 reaches out her to me
"another melody?"
So she can dance her husband out on the
The captains of industry lie there where they fall

In an eau-de-nil and carnation
A sash and velvet elevation
She straightens the tipsy headdress of her
While hers recalls a honey

be no sorrows left to drown
Early in the morning in your gown
But it was so easier
When I was

The entrance hall was arranged hostesses and ushers
Who turned out to be the wives nursing schoolgirl crushes
the waves of those few feint friends
Fingers once offered are now too to extend

The ghostly first wife glides up on whispering to raucous talkers
Spilling secrets out to flunkies and castrato walkers
See that
Watch 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 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 changed that much"
"One of us is still paid too much"

There are things I can't report
The memory of his last
But it was so much
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
