Legend In My Living Room Lyrics - Diva - Annie Lennox

When I was just seventeen I ran away from home 

To be with all the pretty people, to be on my own, yeah 

Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains 

And pavements paved with gold, 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 realize what living in the doghouse means 

But everyday I told myself good things would happen soon 

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

Have mercy 

(Come on, sister, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

Have mercy 

(Come on, brother, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

Have mercy 

(Come on, mother, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

Have mercy 

(Come on, father, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

Welcome to this perfect world 

Now, everyday on a dead end 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, yeah 

Have mercy 

(Come on, people, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

(Mercy got no children) 

Have mercy 

(Come on, people, sing) 

Have mercy on me 

(I need to hear you say) 

Have mercy 

(All the young girls say) 

Have mercy on me 

(Sing it for yourself, now) 

Have mercy 

(All your love, say) 

Have mercy on me
