[Verse 1]
Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do
To change your mind? I'm so in love with you
You're too deep in, you can't get out
You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Yeah, baby, yeah I'm crying over you

[Verse 2]
Don't you know promises were never meant to keep?
Just like the night, they dissolve off in sleep
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Yeah, baby, yeah I'm crying
Oh baby, I'm your child baby
Yeah I'm crying, crying, crying, oh baby
Like a child, child, child, ohh crying baby
Like a child, child, crying baby
Yeah, I'm crying, crying, crying

[Verse 3]
You think you're one of a special breed
You think that you're his pet Pekinese
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah

[Chorus]
Yeah, I was dreamin' last night
I was dreamin', dreamin' you'd be mine
I was cryin', crying like a child, baby
Yeah I was cryin', cryin' like a child, baby
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine baby
You could be mine, mine, mine, you could be mine, baby

[Verse 4]
I'll come to you, so silent in the night
So stealthy, so animal quiet
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Yeah, you should be mine, oh mine
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah

Annie Clark, better known under her moniker St. Vincent (a Nick Cave reference) , is best described as living between the “intersection of accessible and lunatic”. Her demented sense of style is unrestricted by specific rock subgenre, and set free by the complex contrasts of heavy, deep instrumental entwining with Clark’s angelic vocals.

Since her debut solo album in 2007, Marry Me, Clark built up from her artful indie rock style into increasingly intriguing and fascinating sounds. She signed with the label 4AD for her second release, Actor, which was written as inspired by film scores. Clark proved her great strengths as a composer, but didn’t find the heavy guitar sounds she is now known for until her next album.

Strange Mercy was Clark’s third release, which continued St. Vincent’s upward trend of grittier sounds that arouse sense and emotion. In her Coup de Main Magazine interview, regarding the huge influx of heavy, distorted guitar on Strange
