The Girls And The Dogs Lyrics - Scott 2 - Scott Walker

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 on (???) 

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 

They just lift a leg 

As they watch it end 

Oh, the dogs 

They give nothing at all 

And that's the reason 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
