about

From the forthcoming collection, Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down

lyrics

Mickey’s in town with a taste for blood
His cleaver hangs down from his old black belt
The lambs, well they’re all sleeping on the hay

He takes a great gulp from a bottle o grog
He swears and he swings at the lambs he loves
Hey Mickey, why do you do those things?

Then I heard, Mickey’s coming for me
And I ran
I ran

Cause the word out on the street is
He’s bad
He’s bad
But don’t let the bastards get you down

Mickey drives in, his eyes are sparkling
The lambs go quiet and stop their dancing
The door swings open and in comes the light

His jeans are dirty and his shirt is frayed
His breath is rancid from tooth decay
Yeah Mickey, he’s a dentist’s delight

Then I heard, Mickey’s coming for me
And I ran
I ran

Cause the word out on the street is
He’s sad
So sad

So I turn to face the heat
And I say, Hey Mickey
Don’t let the bastards get you down
