Text: Lloyd Cole. Mercy Killing.

Shirley, I love you 'til I'm drunk
And on and on and never to stop
The way, I see it it's sad to say it but it's true
You're gonna be all that I need

So sad to see her looking so rusted
There must be more to life than this
Or we'd be mercy killing us
Yeah, killing us baby

The last train's leaving, there's nothing left
'Cept to confess to love and happiness
The way I see it it's sad to say it but it's true
You're gonna be all that I need

So sad, sad to see her looking so rusted
There must be more to life than this
Or we'd be mercy killing us
Oh yeah, killing us baby

We'll slip past a graveyard
Love me do
