Mickey Lyrics
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
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
I wanna go home
Home
Home

Home
Home
I Home
I wanna go home
I wanna go Home
To you my mother
