Subject: Lyr Add: ANY MICK'LL DO (Brian McNeill)^^ From: Pene Azul Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:20 PM ANY MICK'LL DO (Brian McNeill) 'Cause any Mick'll do, any black, any Jew Any poor wee soul (bugger) who's not like you They're down from the trees and they're up from the bogs They come round here and they steal your job They're all the bloody same - just no' the same as you And when a scapegoat's what you need - any Mick'll do Gerry Conlon stood before the jury Before the judge in his gown and his wig And the whole damn country was sure he was guilty Even though the evidence was rigged And when it all came out, it was the old familiar shout He'll be guilty of something, sure as hell What's a Paddy more or less, and anyway, he confessed Stick him down in his cell, and his father as well They told Annie Maguire she was a bomber She heard every expert witness testify That they'd found traces of gelignite upon her hands And British justice would not be denied And when they found they were wrong, it was the same old song She's a danger to us all if she's free With every day that goes by, we're more committed to the lie So just leave her be and throw away the key I hate every Jew who kicks a Palestinian And every Nazi who ever kicked a Jew I hate every stupid bigoted opinion And if you don't hate them too, then I hate you But what I hate most of all is the sheer damned gall Of a system that never thinks twice About furthering a grudge with a jury and a judge And when they're loading the dice, tell me who pays the price ^^ |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: any mick will do From: Dave the Gnome Date: 20 Jun 01 - 08:37 AM Good song - I haven't seen it before. Cautionary tale. Make sure your audience understands irony! A poor bloke at our folk club got a terrible tirade of abuse from someone who didn't understand Eric Bogles 'I hate Wogs' song was actualy very anti-racist. Cheers DtG |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: any mick will do From: Noreen Date: 20 Jun 01 - 10:24 AM Very powerful song, and it has a very rhythmic driving tune (you can hear the rhythm in the words) which helps to get the message across- the words are almost spat out. I heard Garva sing it in a club here recently, and it was very moving. I don't know the tune well enough to post it, though... anyone else? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: any mick will do From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 05 Mar 04 - 08:44 AM Just a naughty thought - I wonder if we could shoehorn it into the tune 'Any Dream Will Do' from Joesph's Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat... Robin |
