Mercury Rising Lyrics


How sad, this is what your life has
Been reduced to a single room apartment
Containing no more than a mattress
How sad when the strings have been
Removed from the blinds
And all the outlets have been painted over
And the television screen is streaked
With blood smeared from your knuckles
As you were trying to punch it out
But you underestimated your strength
Or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough
Startled by a knock at the door
You rise for the first time in two days to answer
But you can only greet the visitor with one short statement
Hello my first name is distance
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
Hello my name is distance

And I really don't care if I never wake up again
And I really don't care if I never wake up again
And I really don't care if I never wake up again

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Stranglers are a rock music group, formed on September 11, 1974 in Guildford, Surrey, England, United Kingdom.

Original personnel were singer/guitarist Hugh Cornwell (from Kentish Town, London), keyboardist/guitarist Hans Wärmling (from Sweden, replaced within two years by Brighton-born keyboardist Dave Greenfield), London-born bass guitarist Jean-Jacques Burnel and drummer Jet Black (real name Brian Duffy)...
