Motels, The - Mission Of Mercy Lyrics

Great legs thats all I got to say ! Good tune though

Cool Song.

Everyone in this band filled their spots..unbelievably tight...and i think bob clearmountain produced the recording..one of the best mixed rock albums i ever owned

And the sluttiest guitar rifts in recent times.

You could put an x rating on the voice of hers.

Killer Motels tune

Try to copy that china man.

I get the feeling that horrible gwen Stefani tries to sound like Martha Davis, unfortunately Stefani fails! Martha Davis sounds sultry while srefani sounds constipated!!

My band RPM covered this when I was at Penn State in the 80's..great song..we killed it!! Big crowd pleaser..always got the crowd up and on the dance floor!!!!

A drive through L.A. circa 1980's!

Sexy bitch and listen to that guitar!

Great then , great now!

for " four and one" album

How could 18 people dislike this song?

One bad song. Too bad they didn't do more.

I’m 58 and I want to rock.💃🏻

I could do with some mission of mercy right in this very moment, thanx.

This is 1980 not 1982 GD it.

Awesome bass, great dance song in the early 80s.

Peter Gunn theme. Lol

Martha 💯Rocks!!

On a mission of mercy. Ive got to testify. You lost yer emotions. You are parali. Lie. Lie. Lie. I. I. ized.

good stuff.

Hot A Real rager u could'nt have sounded better sond pressure at it best !!!!!

Wow, this video brings back some memories! I've gotta go get my All Four One album out and put it on the turntable.

Whats a turntable?

Outstanding!

You Rock Martha👌

what a weird song !

G A W D Damn!

Happy Birthday Martha..still sexy at 67..

I never knew....... mercy could feel this way ;o)

One of my Favorite 80's bands

I need all the bong workers to go to 151 zone

Martha back in the day was a modern day Patsy Cline.

Smoking guitars

I love you Martha!

they used this tune for the supershops radio commercials back in the 70s.

My gosh I love this song and I love Martha's voice!

Martha was a sexy little kitten..🐱

No copycat here! Just a bad ass singer. Love the way she pronounces mama as mau- muh.

and "in a hUrreh!"

Martha Love

clasicasa de The Motels , grandes recuerdos , lo escuchaba en D9.....

Memories of 1980!

As Fucking now as it was in the 80s. Hell yeah! Can't turn it up loud enough.

Brilliant time.

chicks rock.

puffngirl good call my man got back from europe and thats all he wanted to heat motels

The Motels - Fricken rocks the low desert of Southern California - U.S.A. 04.15.16

great!!!

I remember my grandma (heavy metal drummer) playing this song.

+Avery Spillane what is your grandma, the drummers, name?

Do it to it Jewett.

Hi Avery, What was the name of your grandma's band? And, where did they play?

Martha Davis I love you

What a great band !

Fading footsteps on hot cement.
Now the mercy of his mission still isn't quite clear
He had a different angle than what it would appear

great lyrics.

Thanks for that. Awesome lyrics

All Four One. another one of those awesome albums from an awesome era. I mean how often does it happen today where every track on an album is bomb! Back then it was happening all the time. This is another example. Ahhhh those were the days!!! I thank God in Heaven I was around for it! I would not want to have missed it!!

mama hasnt been sleeping well at all
as she lies stretched out in the hall, waitin for him to call..
Martha belts out NO HEROIN

In 1982

Martha Davis stole the 'thunder' away from Heart's Ann Wilson

Where has the album version gone?

I can sing like Martha

@Barb Regets if youre not in a band,get in one,we need to hear you!!!

will bring my guitar 🎸

Id pay to see that.

slight variation with heavier drums, you'll either like it or not The Motels MISSION OF MERCYdrum cover

pure rockin' heaven genius..........nobody sings it like Martha....

Easy on the eyes too.

@Puffingirl1 and she is so sexy and just oozes sex appeal.. great band

+MrPizza063 - A Classic Girl For Sure - MrPizza063

Martha would go on the Mt. Rushmore of great female rock singers along with Ann Wilson, Grace Slick and, of course, Janis.

@MrPizza063 You forgot Pat B

amazing as well she rocks

Brian Washington don't forget Pat benatar

Brian Washington one more miss Tina Turner

Human gem. Precious treasure.

Wish I could be a little further up...HEAVEN...mmmmmmmm!!!!!

Ft.Worth   #@#$#$% Dallas.....

guys not huys....sorry

Indeed.

This is a seriously kick-ass song. My favorite Motels song by far and the radio never seemed to play this one enough back in the day. Davis' voice and the lead guitar=goose bumps.

KROQ, 'the Rock of the eighties'.

very true. NOT a ''girl band''.

I don't consider them a girl band. Most of the band members are huys.

no more than Heart would be considered a girl band. raw. rock.

one of the best girl bands EVER, i just love me some Motels!!! \/ out

I've always loved this song. Glad it's workin' for you today.

We used to cover this song back in the 80's... and it still holds up!

was always a big fan of Martha and the motels. haven't listened to them in quite a while. this song still hold up today. they were great until the mid 80's when they got way too poppy and commercial

Great!!!!!!

chipmonk you just brought me back to my fun youth where i was banging any thing that moved, i miss the good days yes i know you cant go back but my my the memories thanks . tbone

You are most welcome.

Circumpunk, Thank you, for taking me back to one of the happiest times of my life !

You are right, I rember that album. I uploaded this off a cd I got at Best Buy called "The Motels". Maybe it is a compilation that includes this song from All Four One?

Name of the album is actually All Four One.

You are correct sir. I did think they sound alike. Who's prettier is the question? Tough question, no?

Am I the only one who upon hearing No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" for the 1st time(before you knew who they were), Songs like Sunday Morning and Spider Webs, thought hey Martha Davis has new music out! I always thought Gwen sounded a lot like Martha Davis.

Thanks for catching that.

flippin great band...classic case of ones that got away.

@bratfett Thanks Chris! Happy New Year buddy!
