Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two newspaper editors like sneaks
Running a on which of them is going to last the week
One of calls to me and he says, "I know you"
"You me this tattoo back in eighty-two"
"You a spoilt 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 some I can't report
The of his last retort
But it was so much
When I was

at me now
She's to yawn
She looks like she was to it
Ah, but it was so easier
I was cruel
