Lyrics - No Mercy by The Stranglers

Everyday you're working like a slave
Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right.
Will it be as tough tomorrowhave to wait and see -
Life shows no mercy.
Everyday your love is getting warmer
Just look at her andl love herdid you get it right?
Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee?
She'll show no mercyshe'll show no mercy.
And when you hold her close to you
Just when you're feeling good it's true.
Life shows no mercylife shows no mercy
Life shows no mercylife shows no mercy.
Everybody has some secret wishes
Just keep your gngers crossedmaybe 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 mercylife shows no mercy.
And when rou hold her close to you. . .
Life shows no mercylife shows no mercylife shows no mercyno mercy
Life shows no mercyno mercylife shows no mercyno mercy
Life shows no mercyno mercylife shows no mercyno mercy
Life shows no mercyno mercylife shows no mercyno mercy.
