RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics : "Should I Betray?"

Should I betray you to Charlene?
She doesn’t know the things I’ve seen
She must still think you’re Mr. Clean

Just like the man she wed

Should I betray you to your spouse?

The wife who waits back at the house
She doesn’t know that you’re a louse
That’s not the man she wed


She doesn’t know the deals you make
The throats you cut, the vows you break

To buy up some old lady’s stake
Quick before she’s dead


She doesn’t see your oily smarm
You pour on in the place of charm
When you’ve got some shopgirl by the arm

Steering her into bed

That virgin forest you chopped down

To build another ugly town
I’ll tell your wife you bribed them round
To back your plan instead


But perhaps she doesn’t want to see
The heel that you turned out to be

That’s why she’ll take a gin or three
To drive doubts from her head


While she’s working hard enough
With housework, kids, and all that stuff
You’re out there with some bit of fluff

Cruising on the Med

She thought the leopard’s spots were paint

She thought she’d turn you to a saint
Kept hoping, though the hope grew faint
That you were better bred
