a salty dog - the milk of human kindness lyrics
when you knew that i had given all the kindness that i had
did you think that it might be time to stop?
when you knew that i was through
that i’d done all i could do
did you really have to milk the final drop?
not content with my mistake
you behaved just like a snake
and you left me for a wasp without a sting
tell all my friends back home
that i did it on my own
and that to their well-worn cares they should cling
when you knew that i had given all the kindness that i had
did you feel you had to break that lonely vow?
when you knew that i was through
that i’d done all i could do
did you really have to sow that final plough?
not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake
and you left me for a wasp without a sting
tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own
and that to their well-worn cares they should cling
