Scott Walker - The Girls and the Dogs lyrics

The girls are as fast as a game
Are as bright as a flame
And you're always to blame

The girls are as pink as the light
And as dark as the night
And they're always right

The girls are as cold as the sphinx
Always dreaming of minks
They drive you to drink

The girls are as soft as a sigh
That whispers good-bye and leaves you to cry

But the dogs well, they're only dogs
Just wagging their tails
As they watch it end

Oh, the dogs well, they're only dogs
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend

The girls can make you feel cold
Can make you feel old an antique to be sold

The girls they play with your heart
They tear you apart you're never too smart

The girls they throw you from towers
They'll whip you with flowers
It depends on the hours

The girls will treat you like trash
Or let you be brash it depends on your cash

But the dogs don't depend on a thing
They just lick your face
When they see it end

Oh, the dogs don't depend on a thing
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend

The girls you know that they are vain
They will poison your brain
They will drive you insane

The girls will laugh at your jokes
How they love the coat
Aw, but it is all a hoax

The girls are still making dates
They still making you wait
And they say you are late the girls
Are yours for a throw at least you think so
Ah but you will never know

The dogs well you know the dogs
They lift up a leg as they see it end

The dogs well you know the dogs
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend

The girls they're not what they seem
They all have a scheme they call it a dream

The girls are as hot as they please
And you're down on your knees
With the greatest of ease

The girls say you're on the right track
Then they take it all back
Tie it up in a sack

The girls they will give it of course
But they give with such force
That it gives you remorse

But the dogs they give nothing at all
For they can do is just watch it end

Oh, the dogs they give nothing at all
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend

And yet it's because of the girls
When they've knocked us about
And our tears want to shout
That we kick the dogs out
