LOVE RANG MERCY

from CHORDETTE by the Lambta Da's

lyrics

a little story bout chordette and how
she tried to settle down
married a man who went by herbie e.
then put him in the ground
met at a bar where they would often go
he asked her if she could dance
she brushed him off and then she changed her mind
figured she'd give him a chance
figured she'd give him a chance
...
their love rang mercy, moon white naked
their love rang mercy, loved and hated
their love rang mercy, from start to demise
their love rang mercy
when he looked in her eyes
and she looked in his eyes
...
there had been no degrees of separation from whom
they both had been sleeping with
experimental years now they both had
and also had the same friends
things got messy at the reception
right after their first dance
the liquor flowed and they all had too much
he left the hall with an old romance
he left the hall with an old romance
...
the limo driver drove around like herbie asked
but he'd been hitting the sauce
had not expected to be driving around
till two or three o'clock
and as he noticed that the girl was not the bride
his reaction was too slow
they found them crumpled up in a ditch
chordette became a young widow
chordette became a young widow, their love rang mercy
...

More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
