A Lady of a Certain Age (Edit) - The Divine Comedy[00:00:00]

Back in the day[00:00:06]

You had been part of the smart set[00:00:07]

You'd holidayed with kings [00:00:11]

Dined out with starlets[00:00:14]

From London to New York [00:00:16]

Cap Ferrat to Capri[00:00:19]

In perfume by Chanel[00:00:22]

And clothes by Givenchy[00:00:24]

You sipped camparis with David and Peter[00:00:26]

At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva[00:00:33]

Scaling the dizzy heights of high society[00:00:38]

Armed only with a cheque book[00:00:44]

And a family tree[00:00:46]

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur[00:00:49]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:00:55]

And left you on your own and in the shade[00:01:00]

An English lady of a certain age[00:01:06]

And if a nice young man[00:01:11]

Would buy you a drink[00:01:14]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:01:17]

You wouldn't think that I was seventy[00:01:22]

And he'd say [00:01:27]

No you couldn't be[00:01:29]

You had to marry someone very very rich[00:01:36]

So that you[00:01:41]

Might be kept in the style to which[00:01:42]

You had all of your life been accustomed to[00:01:46]

But that the socialists[00:01:52]

Had taxed away from you[00:01:54]

You gave him children [00:01:58]

A girl and a boy[00:02:00]

To keep your sanity a nanny was employed[00:02:03]

And when the time came[00:02:08]

They were sent away[00:02:11]

Well that was simply[00:02:14]

What you did in those days[00:02:16]

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur[00:02:19]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:02:25]

And left you on your own and in the shade[00:02:30]

An English lady of a certain age[00:02:36]

And if a nice young man[00:02:41]

Would buy you a drink[00:02:44]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:02:47]

"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"[00:02:52]

And he'd say [00:02:57]

"No you couldn't be"[00:02:58]

Your son's in stocks[00:03:06]

And bonds and lives back in Surrey[00:03:08]

Flies down once in a while[00:03:12]

And leaves in a hurry[00:03:14]

Your daughter never finished[00:03:17]

Her finishing school[00:03:20]

Married a strange young man of[00:03:23]

Whom you don't approve[00:03:26]

Your husband's hollow heart[00:03:28]

Gave out one Christmas Day[00:03:30]

He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles[00:03:34]

And so you come here[00:03:39]

To escape your little flat[00:03:41]

Hoping someone will fill your glass[00:03:44]

And let you chat about how[00:03:47]

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur[00:03:50]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:03:55]

And left you all alone and in the shade[00:04:01]

An English lady of a certain age[00:04:06]

And if a nice young man[00:04:12]

Would buy you a drink[00:04:14]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:04:17]

"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"[00:04:23]

And he'd say [00:04:28]

"No you couldn't be"[00:04:29]
