Angels Have Mercy
Performer(s): Wishbone Ash



Look in the mirror, and what do you see?
Reflections of a person that used to be
You’re running ’round town, creating bad debts 
Let’s face it, baby, your life is a mess
You’re driving fast now, and speeding again 
That’ll never help you ease the pain
There’s nothing in a bottle you can take from the shelf
That’ll bring you back to earth, ’cause you need help

The angels have mercy on you
But they can’t stop you doing what you wanna do
May the angels have mercy on you 
I’m gonna help you pull through

Now you’re headed down a one-way street 
Let the needle return
I’ve been there. who you meet?
Watch out, you’re gonna get burned
You can’t blame me for the mess you’re in 
All your life you’ve been fooling yourself

I’ll help you if I can 
You know I’ll be there
Life’s too sweet to show this lack of care

The angels have mercy on you
But they can’t stop you doing what you wanna do
May the angels have mercy on you 
I’m gonna help you pull through

Take a look, a look at yourself 
Take a look, a look at yourself
Take a look, a look at yourself
As the angels have mercy on you!
