The Stranglers - No Mercy

Music video by The Stranglers performing No Mercy. (C) 1984 BMG Rigts Management (UK) Limited

[@tomservo5347]

This band is like Rush for me in that I discovered them on my own without my 3 older sisters' influence. The fact that they didn't like them made the discovery even more special.

[@stammorai]

One of the best things I loved about them,is their ability to sing about every dark matter/aspect of life with such hauntingly happy melodies.Then again,they're Brits,so...One of the best bands ever.And,Dave...we miss you man...

[@easyease]

Hugh's voice so distinctive and cool as fuck.

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

Underrated band, so many great songs and lovely attitude

[@christinasharratt9709]

My very favourite punk group,when I went to big school.So clever talented and sexy what a mix.

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

@@christinasharratt9709 Yes, they have a big library and many lyrics are very clever, funny, critical and sung with an attitude i love (Reminds of Godfathers... damn ain't they also Australian?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3nHdKJvjr2HhdU

[@eileensquires5784]

I didn't know of his passing in 2020 (´;︵;`)

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

Hugh said he was gutted this wasn't a bigger hit. It's a shame they seemed to lose fans in the 80s, Skin Deep is another song that should have been a bigger hit.

[@onlyme219]

Totally true lyrics in this one. More than just a punk band, same with the Damned and the Banshees' in my opinion. They don't get enough credit for their musical talent

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

The Strangler's are in the same class as XTC- very innovative, unique, way ahead of their time, in a league of their own.

No Mercy The Stranglers Every day you're working like a slave Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right Will it be as tough tomorrow, have to wait and see Life shows no mercy Every day your love is getting warmer Just look at her and love her, did you get it right? Will she soothe your brow with kisses, only meant for thee? She'll show no mercy She'll show no mercy And when you hold her close to you Just when you're feeling good, it's true Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Everybody has some secret wishes Just keep your fingers crossed, maybe they'll all come true But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy Life shows no mercy Everybody seems the same all over The search is on for love and comfort constantly If it comes your way tomorrow, count yourself lucky Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy And when you hold her close to you Just when you're feeling good, it's true Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy It shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy (no mercy) Life shows no mercy

[@vialactea6639]

Inventive and truly funny video for a great song. This was likely their best song ever, with creative lyricis and a hypnotic obsessive finale... Life shows no mercy, no mercy...

[@einHasser]

Life shows no mercy so neither I will 19 February 2023

[@tigertruckerman]

At the moment nature also shows no mercy

[@PAULLONDEN]

Never see doctors anymore with those head mirrors ..but how did they work ?????? The "head mirror" was used in examinations of the ear, nose ,throat, and other, eh, body cavities. To use, you swung the head mirror down so that you could look through the hole in the middle with one eye. Then you positioned a light source so that it shone on the mirror’s parabolic surface. By moving your head just so, you could reflect the light rays down the patient’s throat or whatever, to better illuminate items of interest without obstructing the view. Just about all doctors used head mirrors at one time and they became, along with the stethoscope, one of the symbols of the profession. But they could be a bit of a hassle to use and they did make you look like a space alien, so today many doctors prefer a penlight or other examining device. Some ENT (ear-nose-throat) specialists still use head mirrors, though, so look one up if you get nostalgic.

True they are a bit underrated overall , but I feel they are appreciated by the people who really count, and isn’t that what really matters? Who wants hangers-on? Wannabes jumping the bandwagon saying they always loved them?

You just have to read the papers to know this is true.. In return you can be sure l won't be showing any mercy either ( for those who deserve it. ) , come the thousand years rage. Michael 🖤.🔥
