Hi Steve

I'm rapidly becoming a Chron Gen aficionado! (well slowly maybe).

Here's what I think are the lyrics. The two sections between italicized ?, I'm not completely sure of, but I think they're at least close to the correct words.

Mick



PRETEND

  Right! Right!

I feel like I'm wearing a ball and chain,
And I'm fighting - I will be free again.
It's not ?locked, the key is? inside of me
I just need the courage to set me free.

Are you blind to what can be wrong with you?
You just make it harder for me to do.
Ain't it strange that I never contact you,
And you won't guess this song is about you.
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you


I've still got a lot of respect for you
That's what stops me doing what I must do
Won't you help me, won't you relieve me,
I beg you to ?make you? release me.
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you, love you.


<instrumental break>

  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you
  I just can't pretend to you no more
  I can't pretend to love you




  I can't pretend to love you

  I can't pretend to love you
