"The Salt In My Tears" by Martin Briley

"I won't cry for the wasted years 'cause you ain't worth the salt in my tears!" OUCH! Hell hath no fury like an English singer/songwriter scorned!

The Englishman here is Martin Briley, who had a modest hit with this song from his 1983 sophomore album, "One Night with a Stranger", pushing it to #55 on the album chart. None of the other great songs by Briley hit the charts, relegating him to "one hit wonder" status. 

"The Salt In My Tears" reached #36 on the Billboard Top 100. Be sure to check out his other material, he wrote some other great songs that somehow went under the radar. Briley did find greater success writing many songs for other artists - among this diverse, long list is Kenny Loggins, Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Night Ranger, *NSYNC, and, of course, David Hassellhoff.
