No Mercy
Stranglers Lyrics

Every day you're working like a slave
Each day, you put in a lot of hard work and effort, almost like a slave.

Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right
You work hard, sweating profusely with the hope of getting things right.

Will it be as tough tomorrow, have to wait and see
You wonder if tomorrow will be as difficult as today, but you can only wait and see.

Life shows no mercy
Life can often be harsh and ruthless with no sympathy.

Every day your love is getting warmer
Your love for someone is growing stronger every day.

Just look at her and love her, did you get it right?
Just by looking at her, you feel a strong sense of love, but you wonder if you're doing it right.

Will she soothe your brow with kisses, only meant for thee?
You hope that she will kiss you and show affection, just for you.

She'll show no mercy
However, even in love, she may be harsh and unforgiving.

Everybody has some secret wishes
Everyone has dreams and desires that they keep hidden.

Just keep your fingers crossed, maybe they'll all come true
You hope that by keeping your hopes up, those secret wishes might come true.

But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy
But if those wishes never come true, don't fret too much.

Everybody seems the same all over
People are remarkably similar everywhere you go.

The search is on for love and comfort constantly
Everyone is always searching for love and comfort in their lives.

If it comes your way tomorrow, count yourself lucky
If you happen to find love and comfort tomorrow, you should consider yourself fortunate.

And when you hold her close to you
When you hold someone you love dearly in your arms,

Just when you're feeling good, it's true
And just when you're feeling happy and content,

Life shows no mercy
You'll be reminded that life can be cruel and unforgiving.

Life shows no mercy
Life never stops being harsh and ruthless.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
Life can be brutal and unkind, leaving no room for forgiveness.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
No matter how much you hope for kindness, life may still be cruel.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
Despite your best efforts, life may still be merciless.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
It's worth reminding that life never truly stops being harsh and unforgiving.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
Life's challenges and hardships can be unforgiving, leaving no room for mercy.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
No matter how much you desire it to be kind, life may still be brutal.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
The cold reality is that life can often be harsh and ruthless with no sympathy.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
Despite your hard work and efforts, life can still be unforgiving and brutal.

Life shows no mercy (no mercy)
Life's challenges and hardships can be unyielding, leaving no room for kindness.
