Notes:
I think the video is self-explanatory in its ridiculousness and self-indulgence. How was I supposed to resist the siren call of this song? This was worth 4 hours of 'work', so don't expect anything deep and insightful. ;)
Anyway, I find very interesting the duplicity of Sherlock. At first glance he seems a terrible human specimen, but when you go past the first impression the only faults he really has are his uncommon intelligence and unsettling honesty. I love that the only ones that get this are Watson and Lestrade.
(But what is that face on Lestrade at 1:08? I only noticed it when I was editing...)
Lyrics:
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm beggin' please
Stop playin' games
I don't know what this is
Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell.
[Chorus]
You got me beggin' you for Mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won't you release me (yeah yeah yeah)
You got me beggin' you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won't you release me (yeah yeah yeah)
I said release me (yeah yeah yeah)
Now you think that I
Will be somethin' on the side
But you got to understand that I need a man who can take my hand
yes I do
I don't know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
[Chorus]
You got me beggin' you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me beggin' you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said you better release me (yeah)
I'm beggin' you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I'm beggin' you for mercy
You got me beggin, you got me beggin', you got me beggin'
Mercy
Why won't you release me
I'm beggin' you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me beggin' you for Mercy
I'm beggin' you for Mercy
I'm beggin' you for Mercy
I'm beggin' you for Mercy
I'm beggin' you for mercy
Why won't you release me yeah
yeah
