Thompson, Richard - A Poisoned Heart And A Twisted Memory Lyrics
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
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

Indigo Jo: Pete Thomas on tenor sax. He introduces the band before playing "How I wanted to". Search on YT.
Mattacks is such a great drummer, and got a funny style on this song, really sort of calculating the right micro-beat for hitting the snare :-) And Nicol is impressionating a piano sometimes. Pegg seemes relaxed, not these 'Tull tossed-around time signatures here, just an odd thing here and there :-D.
One person must be a lifer.
Hand of Kindness is a top album but sadly not on Youtube apart from live versions which are wonderful.
He's utterly great! I really like his attitude, non-bullshit thing but with a lot of humor and compassion. This song says lots!
