	作词 : Forster, McLennan
	I think i'm getting it right this time;
	I can tell by the way she grins.
	She put the postcards up on the head of our bed,
	I can see algiers.
	She said "don't the streets on sunday look great,
	The way they open up their windows
	And offer you things you know you'll never buy."
	Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
	Don't say that you agree
	With the price you paid
	For your captivity.
	Sweet surrender and your
	Poison pen are gonna take you
	And make you whole again.
	Never gonna be the one
	Who said you were the one
	Who liked the lonesome life.
	All the times you stayed
	And prayed and thought you
	Had it made it was for
	Hope then strife.
	So i went and asked my friend the doctor
	"what is it i've got this time?'
	He said "apart from that albatross
	Around your neck, the tests are
	Negative, you really are quite fine".
	So i went out to the airport
	To play for my ticket
	And someone comes up to me and says
	"hey man, they don t pay for that any more
	Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
	Don't say that you agree
	With the price you paid
	For your honesty.
	Sweet surrender and your
	Poison pen are gonna take you
	And make you whole again.
	Never gonna be the one
	Who said you were the one
	Who liked the lonesome life.
	All the times vou stayed
	And prayed and thought you
	Had it made it was for
	Hope then strife.
	Lord i'm tired, i'm just so tired.
	I should retire.
	Don't say that you agree
	With the price at the end
	Of hostility.
	Sweet surrender and your
	Poison pen are gonna take you
	And make you whole again.
	Never gonna be the one
	Who said you were the one
	Who liked the lonesome life.
	All the times you stayed
	And prayed and thought you
	Had it made it was for
	Hope then strife.
