    Our first hit on MP3.com!!! This Brit-inspired driving groove was #1 on MP3.com's New Wave chart for the third time in December 2000. Thank you! Infidelity. Remorse. Unforgiven. What a lyrical wallop for a melody this uplifting! "There's a place that I know too well. There's a place where I know you will Fall on your knees, Hit the ground, Beat your chest and cry for Mercy."

    Story Behind the Song
    Rick wrote this one. Sometimes simplicity is best. He wrote this on a $40 Yamaha handheld synthesizer and an Amiga 500. Naturally the band didn't let the rinky keyboard into the recording session!!! Still, the music is simple. The words, however, are not. It's not easy to capture infidelity, remorse with an unforgiven resolve into a compact tune -- Mercy does. And more. With less.

    Too many songs go heavy on the vanilla. An apology is accepted. The past is forgotten. Here the insidious meets images of the pardon archetype -- a church. Knelt. Self-flagellation. Crying for Mercy.

    But it won't do you any good.

    Lyrics
    Lyrics by Rick Munarriz
    Music by Rick Munarriz

    These friends of mine
    They tell me things
    Funny how you're out when the telephone rings

    There's a chance that I have to take
    There's a chance you'll make a mistake

    Fall on your knees
    Hit the ground
    Beat your chest and cry for Mercy

    Like I always knew you would
    Cry for Mercy
    Cuz the others said you should
    Cry for Mercy
    Like I always you knew you would
    Cry for Mercy
    But it won't do you any good

    These things I hear
    You get around
    Never mind the strangers who see you in doubt

    There's a place that I know too well
    There's a place where I know you will

    Fall on your knees
    Hit the ground
    Beat your chest and cry for Mercy

    Like I always knew you would
    Cry for Mercy
    Cuz the others said you should
    Cry for Mercy
    Like I always you knew you would
    Cry for Mercy
    But it won't do you any good
