lyrics
Mickey found a bike in his father's garden
Black and gold with flaming skulls on it
He knew just as soon as he sat upon it
It was a gift from Dad from the great beyond
It moved his soul
When he let it roll
Out into the street
Every eye, every eye watched him
As Mickey rode, free as anyone could be
Everyone, everyone wished that
They could be as cool as him
Every morning Mickey would go out riding
Life was magic being alive then
Supercool existence with this enhancer
He spoke to God and he heard God answer
Holy mackerel, Dad had saved his soul
Every eye, every eye watched him
As Mickey rode, free as anyone could be
Everyone, everyone wished that
They could be as cool as him
But then one day when he went out
Something came to cause him doubt
Something came to bust his dreams
Very cold and very mean
A gang of bullies blocked his way
All set to murdelize that day
The biggest one jumped in his space
And roundhouse kicked him in the face
And boy and bike fell to the grass
Mickey's heart was beating fast
He knew this day could be his last
So he got up and kicked his...
Ask me no questions, tell you no lies
That creep went down and started to cry
All of his gang ran off in a fray
Mickey grabbed his bike and rode away
Yeah!
He was in control
When he let it roll
Out into the street
Every eye, every eye watched him
As Mickey rode, free as anyone could be
Everyone, everyone wished that
They could be as cool as Mickey
Yeah Mickey!
Mickey found a bike in his father's garden
Black and gold with flaming skulls on it
He knew just as soon as he sat upon it
It was a gift from Dad from the great beyond
From the great beyond
From the great beyond
Mickey found a bike in his father's garden
Black and gold with flaming skulls on it
He knew just as soon as he sat upon it
It was a gift from Dad from the great beyond
It moved his soul
When he let it roll
Out into the street
Every eye, every eye watched him
As Mickey rode, free as anyone could be
Everyone, everyone wished that
They could be as cool as him
Every morning Mickey would go out riding
Life was magic being alive then
Supercool existence with this enhancer
He spoke to God and he heard God answer
Holy mackerel, Dad had saved his soul
Every eye, every eye watched him
As Mickey rode, free as anyone could be
Everyone, everyone wished that
They could be as cool as him
But then one day when he went out
Something came to cause him doubt
Something came to bust his dreams
Very cold and very mean
A gang of bullies blocked his way
All set to murdelize that day
The biggest one jumped in his space
And roundhouse kicked him in the face
And boy and bike fell to the grass
Mickey's heart was beating fast
He knew this day could be his last
So he got up and kicked his...
Ask me no questions, tell you no lies
That creep went down and started to cry
All of his gang ran off in a fray
Mickey grabbed his bike and rode away
Yeah!

When he let it roll
Out into the street

Yeah Mickey!

From the great beyond
From the great beyond

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

Disheveled Cuss
by Disheveled CussBig, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums.
