Mickey (BBC In Concert - 29th Apr 1987) |
Nothing happens in my life he said |
Laying one night in his bed |
He’d had enough of the jobcentres |
Like he’d had enough of his city and guilds |
And his mother she cried |
And he asked her why |
And this she said by way of reply |
Your grand daddy fought in the 1418 |
Your father too in '44 |
Now little Mickey’s gonna run away |
And find himself a war |
Now mickey ain’t smart |
But mickey ain’t dumb |
In fact all he wanted was to have a little fun |
He’s bored with the streets |
And the pubs he knows |
And he don’t want to marry |
The girls he knows |
He’s lived all his life in this northern town |
And his father ain’t around |
Mickey’s leaving home |
Mickey’s leaving home |
Mickey’s leaving |
Hooooooooooooooooome |
Now mama’s little boy went to ulster one day |
He was lucky he didn’t get his |
Legs blown away |
They gave him medals for kicking front |
Doors in |
Now mickey’s grown up and he |
Ain’t laughing |
For when he was a boy he |
Remembers listening to |
The stories of the irish that his |
Telly told him |
But since he went there now he ain’t so sure |
What he’s killing for |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
Now orders came through |
An army that day |
Mickey told mama |
He’s going away |
I’m going to the falklands |
I’ll be back someday |
Please don’t cry |
I’ll write you on the way |
Mickey on deck |
Was happy that day |
Laughing with his mates |
In the sea and spray |
They landed on the beach in the |
Dark that night |
Orders were issued and |
Machine guns barked |
Luck ran out there |
That day |
A mine went off and |
Mickey was blind |
The boys felt arms |
Kissed him tenderly |
They carried him to |
The beach then they |
Walked away |
Mickey was lucky |
There that day |
Even though he laughs |
He can explain it away |
And his mother she cried |
And he asked her why |
And this she said by way of reply |
Your grand daddy fought in the 1418 |
Your father too in '44 |
Now little Mickey’s gonna run away |
And find himself a war |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
Take me home |
I wanna go home |

To you my mother |
