A Lady Of A Certain Age - The Divine Comedy[00:00:00]

Written by：Neil Hannon[00:00:02]

Back in the day you had been part of the smart set[00:00:23]

You'd holidayed with kings dined out with starlets[00:00:29]

From London to New York Cap Ferrat to Capri[00:00:34]

In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy[00:00:39]

You sipped camparis with David and Peter[00:00:44]

At noel's parties by Lake Geneva[00:00:50]

Scaling the dizzy heights of high society[00:00:56]

Armed only with a cheque book and a family tree[00:01:01]

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur[00:01:06]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:01:12]

And left you on your own and in the shade[00:01:18]

An English lady of a certain age[00:01:23]

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink[00:01:29]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:01:34]

You wouldn't think that I was seventy[00:01:40]

He'd say no you couldn't be[00:01:45]

You had to marry someone very very rich[00:01:53]

So that you might be kept in the style to which[00:01:58]

You had all of your life been accustomed to[00:02:04]

But that the socialists had taxed away from you[00:02:10]

You gave him children a girl and a boy[00:02:14]

To keep your sanity a nanny was employed[00:02:20]

And when the time came they were sent away[00:02:26]

Well that was simply what you did in those days[00:02:31]

You chased the sun around the cote d'Azur[00:02:36]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:02:42]

And left you on your own and in the shade[00:02:48]

An English lady of a certain age[00:02:53]

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink[00:02:59]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:03:04]

You wouldn't think that I was sixty three[00:03:09]

He'd say no you couldn't be[00:03:15]

Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in surrey[00:03:24]

Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry[00:03:29]

Your daughter never finished her finishing school[00:03:35]

Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve[00:03:40]

Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas day[00:03:45]

He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles[00:03:51]

And so you come here to escape your little flat[00:03:57]

Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how[00:04:02]

You chased the sun around the cote d'Azur[00:04:07]

Until the light of youth became obscured[00:04:13]

And left you all alone and in the shade[00:04:18]

An English lady of a certain age[00:04:24]

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink[00:04:29]

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink[00:04:35]

You wouldn't think that I was fifty three[00:04:40]

He'd say no you couldn't be[00:04:46]
