Lyrics for Mercy - (On the Box - live 1979)
Crooks lay in the baited state Waiting for the dead assassin A rust-pure powder-puff A shimmering opaque red Papers spread, no-one driving We howled direct ahead The window looms forth with tinted The hearse, a taxi, it steers I'm leaning over backwards Full custom in the glee In areas dogged by king Married forth and old maid Keeping cover in the nude Descruff The school destroyed, razor club Panic spreading, well Threat of fire Crowding beneath a layer of foam Refugees intertwined alone Within the institution walls The pastel blue clinical whites Smashed with lipstick Mersey nurse denied Sleep the dark grey stockings In the raking torchlight With the 4am stubble And midnight transvestites Married forth and old maid
