When I Was Cruel No.2
作詞:Antonio Amurri, Bruno Canfora, Elvis Costello
I exit through the spotlight glare I stepped out into thin air Into a perfume so rarefied Here comes the bride
Not quite aside, they snide, she's number four There's number three just by the door Those in the know, don't even flatter her, they go one better She was selling speedboats in a trade show when he met her
Look at her now She's starting to yawn She looks like she was born to it But it was so much easier When I was cruel
She reaches out her arms to me Imploring another melody So she can dance her husband out on the floor The captains of industry just Lie there where they fall
In eau-de-nil and pale carnation creation A satin sash and velvet elevation She straightens the tipsy head-dress of her spouse While hers recalls a honey house
There'll be no sorrows left to drown Early in the morning in your evening gown But it was so much easier When I was cruel
The entrance hall was arranged With hostesses and ushers もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com Who turned out to be the younger wives Nursing schoolgirl crushes
Parting the waves of those Few feint friends Fingers once offered are now too Heavy to extend
The ghostly first wife glides up On stage, whispering to raucous talkers Spilling family secrets out to Flunkey's and castrato walkers See that girl, watch that scene Digging the dancing queen
Two newspaper editors like playground sneaks Running a book on which of them is going to last the week One of them calls to me and he says, ‽I know you You gave me this tattoo back in '82â€
You were a spoilt child then with a record to plug And I was a shaven headed, seaside thug Things haven't really changed that much One of us is still getting paid too much
There are some things I [incomprehensible]report The memory of his last retort But it was so much easier When I was cruel, oh
Look at me now, she's starting to yawn She looks like she was born to it Ah, but it was so much easier When I was cruel
