When I Was Cruel No 2 (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

I exit through the spotlight glare[00:00:44]

I stepped out into thin air[00:00:50]

Into a perfume so rarefied[00:00:56]

Here comes the bride[00:01:02]

Not quite aside they snide she's number four[00:01:07]

There's number three just by the door[00:01:13]

Those in the know don't even flatter her[00:01:19]

They go one better[00:01:22]

She was selling speedboats in a trade show when he met her[00:01:25]

Look at her now[00:01:30]

She's starting to yawn[00:01:33]

She looks like she was born to it[00:01:36]

But it was so much easier[00:01:42]

When I was cruel[00:01:47]

She reaches out her arms to me[00:01:54]

Imploring another melody[00:01:59]

So she can dance her husband out on the floor[00:02:05]

The captains of industry just lie there where they fall[00:02:11]

In eau-de-nil and pale carnation creation[00:02:17]

A satin sash and velvet elevation[00:02:22]

She straightens the tipsy head dress of her spouse[00:02:28]

While her recalls a honey house[00:02:34]

There'll be no sorrows left to drown[00:02:40]

Early in the morning in your evening gown[00:02:46]

But it was so much easier[00:02:51]

When I was cruel[00:02:57]

The entrance hall was arranged with hostesses and ushers[00:03:26]

Who turned out to be the younger wives nursing schoolgirl crushes[00:03:32]

Parting the waves of those few feint friends[00:03:38]

Fingers once offered are now too heavy to extend[00:03:43]

The ghostly first wife glides up stage whispering to raucous talkers[00:03:49]

Spilling family secrets out to flunks and Castro walkers[00:03:54]

See that girl[00:04:00]

Watch that scene[00:04:03]

Digging the dancing queen[00:04:05]

Two newspaper editors like playground sneaks[00:04:41]

Running the book on which of them is going to last the week[00:04:47]

One of them calls to me[00:04:53]

And he says I know you[00:04:54]

You gave me this tattoo back in '82[00:04:58]

You were a spoil child then with a record to plug[00:05:04]

And I was a shaven headed seaside thug[00:05:10]

Things haven't really changed that much[00:05:16]

One of us is still getting paid too much[00:05:20]

There are some things I can't report[00:05:27]

The memory of his last retort[00:05:33]

But it was so much easier[00:05:39]

When I was cruel[00:05:44]

Look at her now[00:06:14]

She's starting to yawn[00:06:17]

She looks like she was born to it[00:06:20]

But it was so much easier[00:06:26]

When I was cruel[00:06:31]
