lyrics

Show, show, show me mercy
Gave the telly to a junky
Show, show, show me mercy
Drank a load of morning whisky...

Give me strength!!

Show, show, show me mercy
I’m a lazy git, mauled by inertia
Show, show, show me mercy
I’m Northern junk, trainers are filthy...

Give me strength!!

Mercy...

Show, show, show me mercy
Brought the wrong kids back from the nursery
Show, show, show me mercy
Sold the dog for gamblin' money

Give me strength!!

Mercy...mercy upon me

Show, show, show me mercy
I know, I know, I ain’t worthy
Show, show, show me mercy
I act dead hard but I’m really mardy...
