Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

I exit the spotlight glare
I stepped out into 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 flatter her, they go one better
"She was selling in a trade show when I met her"

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two newspaper editors like sneaks
Running a book on which of them is going to the week
One of them to me and he says, "I know you"
"You gave me this back in eighty-two"
"You were a spoilt then with a record to plug"
"And I was a seaside thug"
"Things haven't really changed much"
"One of us is getting 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 like she was born to it
Ah, but it was so much
I was cruel
