In the liner notes to Sticks and Stones, Mike Roe claims that he wrote “Mercy Mercy” in five minutes in his car. Co-writer Mark Proctor has a bit more elaborate a story:
“Mercy Mercy” grew out of a riff and a phone conversation where I said “Hey, why don’t you try this with that riff”, and he came...
Mercy Mercy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was wallowing
In a pit of snakes
They come crawling
Up around my legs
Now, I despise them
But I know
If they hypnotize me
Down, down I go
[Chorus 1]
Then I say, Lord
Have mercy on me
I say, Lord
Have mercy
[Verse 2]
Love to fly
In a purple haze
Believe lies
Just to save face
But when I crash
On solid ground
Then I go splat
And my up comes down
[Chorus 2]
Then I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy on me
(Hey, mercy)
I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy
(Hey, mercy)
Complete
(Mercy, mercy)
Forgiving
(Mercy, mercy)
Chastening
(Mercy, mercy)
Embracing
(Mercy, mercy)
All right
[Verse 3]
Love to go far
On my guitar
Love when she sings
Love when she stings
But if I bow
Down to her notes
When death comes 'round
That's all she wrote
[Chorus 2]
Then I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy on me
(Hey, mercy)
I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy
(Hey, mercy)
Complete
(Mercy, mercy)
Forgiving
(Mercy, mercy)
Chastening
(Mercy, mercy)
Embracing
(Mercy, mercy)
[Bridge]
I said hey
Hey
Ho
Whoa
[Outro]
Mercy
Unearned
Undeserved
A total work
Mercy
