The Disappearance of Becky Sharp
Those cold maudlin tears, oh they won't subdue meThey can't induce my sympathyYou're a crocodileAn infantileThose fake mawkish pearls, oh they won't confound meI will not stand your litaniesYou're a bitter childAnd I'm not beguiledChorusI've been reflecting at length that it might be time you gave this act upWe spectators have suffered quite enoughWhen you consider that mirror your painted face betrays one great mistake:To disappear under veils and display.Don't think your deceit is worthy of a memoryThis is not GethsemaneIt's a petty feudNot some ancient ruseDon't dupe yourself into thinking there's some braveryIn surviving so artfullyLife's not that hardYou're not Becky SharpSongtexteChorusI've been reflecting at length that it might be time you gave this act upWe spectators have suffered quite enoughWhen you consider that mirror your painted face betrays one great mistake:To disappear under veils and display.
