Time stands too still
Left you there for the kill
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
Leaves a man with nothing
There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind
Love grows a fear
Suites your taste of bitter ends
But this stake that holds you in
Leaves no place to begin
There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time for selling lies
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind
Words seem so blind
I've been pushed far aside
To my choice seems too small
Any move and I could fall
There's just no mercy in your eyes, child
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm not preaching to the choir
I'm just a painful reminder
And you're a fool to satisfy
Left you there for the kill
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
Leaves a man with nothing
There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind
Love grows a fear
Suites your taste of bitter ends
But this stake that holds you in
Leaves no place to begin
There's just no mercy in your eyes
There ain't no time for selling lies
And I'm afraid I've lost the fight
I'm just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind
Words seem so blind
I've been pushed far aside
To my choice seems too small
Any move and I could fall
There's just no mercy in your eyes, child
There ain't no time to set things right
And I'm not preaching to the choir
I'm just a painful reminder
And you're a fool to satisfy

Her name is Leah Shapiro.
Thanks for that -- I was lazy about looking her up. She was amazing to watch live -- put her heart & soul into the show.

These guys don't 'rock', they 'snooze'. And I don't hear a drummer here, chick or not.
Yeah -- You would have to expand your listening beyond this one song to get it. Try this >>> BMRC Red Eyes and Tears >>> BMRC Devil's Tattoo.

Wish they would come to my town Zürich!

My perverse mind insists it hears echoes of Olivia Newton John in this - "West Virginia, mountain mamma...". Good stuff, though, but then I've been a fan of BRMC since hearing them on RP, and have yet to hear a duff track from them. An initial 6 from the Nottingham jury.

Saw these guys live several years back in a small Portland, OR club -- they absolutely rocked it -- especially the chick drummer.

Good one.
However, this is one of their most mellow tracks. For contrast, check out American X, and several other tracks.
Given their wide range of song styles they can keep their name.
listening to this song, does not make me think of rebel bikers. Perhaps they should rename themselves "choir boys vespa club".

Quite. Think of it as verbal ju-jitsu, completely confounding expectations. I love band names like this, other examples including Bohren and Der Club of Gore and Massive Attack, both of which names make you expect heavy noise.

I enjoy the rhythm guitar.

Just saw them on Saturday...they opened for STP. They were really good and raucous!
Wow. This is good.
...great band...
Take me home, country road... 
Seriously? I didn't even know this was the same group! (as their other songs like 666Conducer) But I like to see the range going on. Very nice all around. Doggit, now I have to find this CD, lol
Bill keeps challenging my tight budget for entertainment! D'oh!!

Nice.
I knew David Gilmour and you sir are no David Gilmour.

Finally!!! My upload. Cannot wait to see them in Atlanta next week. 
We have a chapter in this town. Although it seems they stole the Allen Ginsberg catchcry (who also had mates in the Hells Angels) but it's not a precious play is it Rebecca?
