[00:00.000]A Lady of a Certain Age (Edit) - The Divine Comedy
[00:06.189]Back in the day
[00:07.548]You had been part of the smart set
[00:11.478]You'd holidayed with kings
[00:14.008]Dined out with starlets
[00:16.808]From London to New York
[00:19.398]Cap Ferrat to Capri
[00:22.478]In perfume by Chanel
[00:24.507]And clothes by Givenchy
[00:26.466]You sipped camparis with David and Peter
[00:33.415]At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
[00:38.845]Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
[00:44.275]Armed only with a cheque book
[00:46.535]And a family tree
[00:49.375]You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[00:55.175]Until the light of youth became obscured
[01:00.634]And left you on your own and in the shade
[01:06.063]An English lady of a certain age
[01:11.543]And if a nice young man
[01:14.083]Would buy you a drink
[01:17.033]You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[01:22.543]You wouldn't think that I was seventy
[01:27.943]And he'd say
[01:29.083]No you couldn't be
[01:36.113]You had to marry someone very very rich
[01:41.392]So that you
[01:42.592]Might be kept in the style to which
[01:46.991]You had all of your life been accustomed to
[01:52.510]But that the socialists
[01:54.710]Had taxed away from you
[01:58.070]You gave him children
[02:00.320]A girl and a boy
[02:03.410]To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
[02:08.849]And when the time came
[02:11.119]They were sent away
[02:14.289]Well that was simply
[02:16.109]What you did in those days
[02:19.249]You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[02:25.129]Until the light of youth became obscured
[02:30.649]And left you on your own and in the shade
[02:36.109]An English lady of a certain age
[02:41.529]And if a nice young man
[02:44.009]Would buy you a drink
[02:47.028]You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[02:52.398]"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
[02:57.597]And he'd say
[02:58.767]"No you couldn't be"
[03:06.877]Your son's in stocks
[03:08.357]And bonds and lives back in Surrey
[03:12.157]Flies down once in a while
[03:14.677]And leaves in a hurry
[03:17.637]Your daughter never finished
[03:20.036]Her finishing school
[03:23.146]Married a strange young man of
[03:26.136]Whom you don't approve
[03:28.106]Your husband's hollow heart
[03:30.666]Gave out one Christmas Day
[03:34.066]He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
[03:39.485]And so you come here
[03:41.284]To escape your little flat
[03:44.964]Hoping someone will fill your glass
[03:47.984]And let you chat about how
[03:50.464]You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
[03:55.694]Until the light of youth became obscured
[04:01.304]And left you all alone and in the shade
[04:06.804]An English lady of a certain age
[04:12.213]And if a nice young man
[04:14.153]Would buy you a drink
[04:17.583]You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
[04:23.103]"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
[04:28.653]And he'd say
[04:29.413]"No you couldn't be"
