Mercy Mercy

<p>We used to sit and watch the kids belly flop divin in the river<br/><br/>Share a bottle a scrumpy by the neck,lie in the sun and you&#x27;d make me laugh<br/><br/>Take of early and head on home to get dolled up for the Casino<br/><br/>We&#x27;d head out lookin all shiny and new, we were Teddyboys we had to be cool<br/><br/>Later that night we&#x27;d go down to Mario&#x27;s for fish and chips and vinegar<br/><br/>A smile for the camera man got me and you in a photograph<br/><br/>But time goes on and on and nothin beautiful lasts forever<br/><br/>I know what you&#x27;ve done and what you&#x27;ve been through<br/>I dont understand why you do what you do<br/><br/>I give you my hand its a hand you can hold on to<br/><br/>MERCY, MERCY<br/><br/>We drifted apart and you grew strange you were more into whisky then women<br/><br/>The first time you got lifted you loved it,you wrote your own epitaph<br/><br/>Here lies a wanted man could&#x27;nt take the rules when they hit him<br/><br/>Here lies a man with an attitude and a polaroid shot of a hand he could hold onto<br/><br/>MERCY,MERCY<br/><br/>The older you get the harder it bites,when you fight you go kamikaze<br/><br/>It hurts so bad to see you fall back from your tender ways<br/><br/>Now all you&#x27;ve got is in a police bag beside a row of walkie-talkies on the mantlepiece<br/><br/>I know what you&#x27;ve done and what you&#x27;ve been through<br/><br/>But I dont understand why you do what you do what you do<br/>I give you my hand its a hand you can hold onto<br/><br/>MERCY,MERCY,MERCY, MERCY
