Lyrics Poisoned Heart and a Twisted Memory - Richard Thompson
O
you
took
my
word
and
you
took
my
key
You
took
my
pride
and
you
took
my
dignity
How
can
I
still
pretend
To
be
what
a
man
should
be
Well,
whatever
I
say
is
in
a
book
Whatever
I
do
there's
someone
there
to
look
You
just
can't
shake
a
man
The
way
that
I've
been
shook
Now
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
O
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
O
see
that
lifer
doing
his
time
If
I
could
have
his
place
and
he'd
have
mine
We'd
be
no
better
off
On
either
side
of
the
line
Well,
you
took
my
job
and
you
put
me
to
sleep
You
feed
me
money,
you
treat
me
like
a
creep
Wish
I
could
get
away
But
I
must
be
in
it
too
deep
Tell
me
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
O
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
Well,
you
tell
me
you're
going
to
get
in
touch
You
send
me
a
letter
that
reads
like
double-Dutch
You
say,
you're
bound
to
lose
You're
a
little
such-and-such
You
got
my
number,
you
got
my
rank
You
drained
my
head,
you
drained
my
petrol
tank
And
when
I
die
of
shame
I
won't
even
know
who
to
thank
Now,
now,
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
O
is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
Is
this
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
A
poisoned
heart
and
a
twisted
memory
