when i was cruel

• (bkz: when i was cruel no 2)
• can u talk 'ur way out of this,did someone flip 'ur switch
  now there is only right or wrong ,can u tell which is which
  but it was so much easier,when i was cruel
  
  why did u leave 'ur happy home,why did u travel far abroad
  so u could sleep with strangers
  u must have heard just how absurd
  the words poured out of u ,u fraud
  i guess u don't know what pain is
  
  so don't pretend u r innocent
  do i look like 'ur fool.
  perhaps u have forgotten,when i was cruel
  
  oh but i was cruel and i would make u very sorry
  lonely cowards followed me like ghouls
  and u liked me too...when i was cruel...oh u know u did
  
  but if u should feel anything,a signal from within
  go back in 'ur laboratory and try to dial it in
  'cos it was so much easier when i was cruel
  
  why did u leave your happy home
  why did u travel far abroad
  so u could sleep with strangers
  u must have heard just how absurd
  the words poured out of u ,u fraud
  abandon 'ur dreams of vengeance
  
  so don't pretend u r innocent
  do i look like 'ur fool
  perhaps u have forgotten
  when i was cruel
  when i was cruel
  oh u know
  u did...
  
  elvis costello
• önünde saygıyla eğildiğim ve gecelerime eşlik eden elvis costello albümü.
  yine yapacağını yapmış ve bu haliyle yıllardır onu dinleyenleri performansıyla yine hiç şaşırtmamış.
  bir insan yıllardır aşk hakkında şarkı yazıp bu kadar çeşitlemeyi her albümde nasıl yakalayabilir diye bir kez daha düşündüren albüm.

• elvis costello'nun gecen yillari kendini tekrarlayarak degil; yaptiklarina yeni seyler ekleyerek degerlendirdiginin elimizdeki kaniti olan albumudur. anlattiklarinin hemen hepsinin kendi hayatindan kaynak aldigini söylemis ki bizi hem bu durumu sahane anlatan sarkilar hem de dust 2... ve dust gibi ufak suprizlerle selamlamis. eski bir dostla olan bu bulusmada elvis costello bize "ne konusacagiz simdi" telasini yasatmiyor; ben 45 oldum , yaptigim isten hala gayet memnunum (bkz: when i was cruel) , ask hakkinda neseli seyler hissediyorum (bkz: 15 petals) diye alip goturuyor sohbeti.. biz de husu icerisinde dinliyoruz.
