Artist/Band: Annie Lennox
Lyrics for Song: Legend In My Living Room
Lyrics for Album: Diva



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 on me.

I found myself in a lonely place
With a suitcase full of dreams
And I soon grew up to realize
What living in the doghouse means.
But everyday I told myself
Good things gonna happen soon
'Cause I knew that I was going to be
A legend in my living room.

Have mercy
Have mercy on me.

(Welcome to this perfect world)

Now everyday on a dead end street
Is where I spend my time.
The dust has been collecting
On the corners of my mind.
But I've shed my tears in bitter drops
Until the thorn trees bloomed
To take the spiky fruit
To crown myself the Queen of doom.

Have mercy
Have mercy on me.


Legend In My Living Room

Annie Lennox delivers a hauntingly intimate recording on her 1992 album Diva, where the track 'Legend In My Living Room' stands as a defining moment in her solo career. The song blends her signature ethereal vocal style with a melancholic, atmospheric production that underscores themes of personal history and memory. Released during a period of significant artistic evolution, the recording showcases her ability to craft emotionally resonant pop ballads that resonate deeply with listeners. As part of the Diva catalogue, the track exemplifies the introspective nature of her work from this era, distinguishing it from her earlier synth-pop oriented sound while maintaining her characteristic poetic lyricism and vocal prowess.
