No Mercy
Lyrics and Songs by The Stranglers - Go back

Everyday you're working like a slave

Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right.
Will it be as tough tomorrow
have to wait and see -
Life shows no mercy.

Everyday your love is getting warmer

Just look at her andl love her
did you get it right?
Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee?
She'll show no mercy
she'll show no mercy.

And when you hold her close to you

Just when you're feeling good it's true.
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy.

Everybody has some secret wishes

Just keep your gngers crossed
maybe they'll all come true.
But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy -
Life shows no mercy.

Everybody seems the same all over

The search is on for love and comfort constantly.
If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky.
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy.

And when rou hold her close to you
. . .
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy

life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy.
