Eurythmics Legend In My Living Room Lyrics

Legend In My Living Room Lyrics

When I was just seventeen I ran away from home

To be with all the pretty
people 

To be on my own

Bright lights and trains and bedsit
stains

And pavements paved with gold

And I believed in everything that
everybody told me

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

I found myself in a
lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams 

and I soon grew up to realise
what living in the doghouse means 

But everyday I told myself good things
would happen soon

'Cause I knew that was going to be a legend in my living
room 

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

(Welcome to this perfect
world)

Now everyday on a dead street is where I spend my time

The dust
has been collecting on the corners of my mind

But I've shed my tears in
bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed 

To take the spiky fruit to
crown myself the Queen of doom

Have mercy

Have mercy
