Procol Harum - 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

    boring as heck

    l.... ....

    Tasteless heathen.

    l.... ....

    Talented rockers, great music.

    l.... ....

    Keeping yourself tight and hidden are you?

    l.... ....

    BJ Wison RIP

  12. R.... M....

    this original lineup of Procol amazing

  13. R.... M....

    lucky to hear Wilson Live 1971.great musician

  14. N.... ....

    -.- It was released in June '69 -.-

  15. I.... ....

    This was released in the sixties, so I guess TigerWhiteBlues was right

  16. d.... ....

    A near-perfect melding of piano, guitar, organ and drums. These guys could do it all. They could have been real rock stars if that was their goal but they chose instead to focus on their music instead of showmanship and glitz. Good for them and good, especially, for us - their die-hard fans over the span of four decades.

    d.... ....

    A real chamber orchestra!

  17. N.... ....

    How so? The 70's are just right for this type of innovation.

  18. l.... j....

    And if you don't mind me saying so,they are still ahead of thier time!!!

  19. P.... H....

    Just listened to this LP tonight.

  20. J.... L....

    BJ Wilson's drums are just so creative on this track. No drummer in rock -- no matter how technically proficient -- ever was as inventive or clever as Mr. Wilson. RIP

  21. a.... p....

    Brian May must have been influenced by Robin Trower.

  22. C.... ....

    procol harum were many years ahead of their time.thank god for youtube

  23. M.... P....

    Notable pieza. Procol Harum ha sido injustamente subestimada y es una de las grandes bandas de rock de todos los tiempos.Este disco, como conjunto, es una obra maestra.

  24. d.... ....
