Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

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

Not quite aside, they snide, "she's four"
"There's number just by the door"
Those in the know, don't even 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 she was born to it
But it was so easier
I was cruel

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

In an eau-de-nil and pale
A sash and velvet elevation
She straightens the headdress of her spouse
While recalls a honey house

There'll be no sorrows to drown
Early in the morning in your gown
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 crushes
Parting the of those few feint friends
Fingers once offered are now too heavy to

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

Two newspaper editors playground sneaks
a book 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 tattoo in eighty-two"
"You were a spoilt child 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"

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 starting to
She looks she was born to it
Ah, but it was so much
I was cruel
