Mercury
The point of no return
Down the lanes behind your home
Stir-crazy youths litter the streets
With smashed up glass and soiled sheets
Do you know what you do when you call her name?
Do you even know how to play the game?
Does it make you into a big strong man?
A leaf in the wind? Or a broken blade of grass?
Flashback to our troubled youth
The boys in the corner eating tins of soup
An angry man haunted by his youth
A broken home broken by his boot
Do you know how you sound when you try your tricks?
Do you even have a clue what makes a woman tick?
So play those cards of beer, guilt and shame
A full house of boys being boys, they'll say
He's emotional
Industrial
Mercurial
Daddy's home after a night on the booze
Knots aren't important when they're tied up loose
Forgotten mornings of violent crime
Your team aren't the only ones that lost last night
He's emotional
Industrial
Mercurial
He takes his toll
So pay your tax
Baby do the math
Can you really afford to be like that?
There's a price to live
And there's a cost to die
And a wage to keep your troubles piled up high
So pay your credit
On direct debit
And sell your home with nothing in it
And fill your tank with the blood diamond fuel
And pay your bills and forget where to go
And take your pills and forget what to do
Forget your home
And your life
And your parents
And your wife
And your kids
And your name
And your love
And all your hate
He's emotional
Industrial
Mercurial
He takes his toll
It's educational
Simply insatiable
Mercurial
He takes his toll
He takes his toll
He takes his toll
Down the lanes behind your home
Stir-crazy youths litter the streets
With smashed up glass and soiled sheets
Do you know what you do when you call her name?
Do you even know how to play the game?
Does it make you into a big strong man?
A leaf in the wind? Or a broken blade of grass?
Flashback to our troubled youth
