The Milk Of Human Kindness

(Brooker / Reid)

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
