Annie Lennox

When i was just seventeen i ran away from home
To be with all the pretty people
To be on my own
Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
And pavements paved with gold
And i believed in everything that everybody told me
Have mercy
Have mercy upon me
I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams
And i soon grew up to realise 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
