Spear Of Destiny - 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 k**ing 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 Home Home Home I Home I wanna go home I wanna go Home To you my mother
