In a dark backroom or a crowded street
In private life or public speach
Keep everything away from the stifling grip
The beurocratic eye, the red tape brigade
It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay
We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah
Have mercy mercy on me
Have mercy mercy on me
Never occured to us that we were doing any wrong
Never occured to us 'cos we were harming anyone
On a crowded street or dark backroom
In private life or public speach
Keep everything away from the stifling grip
The beurocratic eye, the red tape brigade
It doesn't really matter if you don't wanna stay
We'll do very nicely without them OK and oh yeah
Have mercy mercy on me
Have mercy mercy on me
Never occured to 'cos we were harming anyone
Never occured to us that we were doing any wrong
Have mercy mercy on me
Have mercy mercy on me
Mercy mercy mercy on me
Have mercy mercy on me
Have mercy mercy on me
Mercy mercy mercy on me
