Mercy
(专辑: Burning Times - 2005)
We used to sit and watch the
kids belly flop diving in the
river Share a
bottle a
scrumpy by the
neck, lie in the
sun and you'd make me laugh Take of early and head on home to get dolled up for the
Casino We'd head out looking all shiny and new, we were Teddyboys we had to be cool Later that night we'd go down to Mario's for fish and chips and vinegar A
smile for the
camera man got me and you in a
photograph But time goes on and on and nothing beautiful lasts forever I
know what you've done and what you've been through But I
don't understand why you do what you do I
give you my hand, it's a
hand you can hold on to Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy We drifted apart and you grew strange, you were more into whisky then women The
first time you got lifted you loved it, you wrote your own epitaph Here lies a
wanted man, couldn't take the
rules when they hit him Here lies a
man with an attitude and a
Polaroid shot of a
hand he could hold onto Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy The
older you get the
harder it bites, when you fight you go kamikaze It hurts so bad to see you fall back from your tender ways Now all you've got is in a
police bag beside a
row of walkie-talkies on the
mantlepiece I
know what you've done and what you've been through But I
don't understand why you do what you do what you do I
give you my hand it's a
hand you can hold onto Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
