Legend In My Living Room

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
