I just can't agree that Mercy is a weak song lyrically (perhaps inconsistent, but there are a number of high quality lines worth salvaging), especially when compared to Winter. I can get behind the premise, but there isn't much worth keeping here. The good lines are derivative of others, and the bad lines are among Bono's most awe-inspiringly awful.
Mercy's big lyrical weak point is that he uses the word "love" too many times. Synonyms, Bono.
