sometimes is good to be a killer work without remorse sometimes it s good to be heartless let nature take it s course and i dont need tender mercy just someone by my side i leave the gentle things behind sometimes the guide light is flickering and the theme lost in the swell sometimes you have to live without it let the hearts lie still and i dont need tender mercy don t tie me to the mast i let that tenderness go past don t want closer don t want nice love is a lonely ghost gone from my life
