Please Ing

Yeah, you know I never asked you to feel it,
But your eyes are begging me to steal it.
First time that I gave it to you, you was bleeding.
You was begging me, I was pleasing.

Ghost in my Face
03:38

There's a ghost
On my face
It hasn't gone away since
You walked out
There's a ghost
Sitting in my bed
Watching the son go down
But this ghost
Goes by many names
I prefer to call him
And the ghost
In my face
In my bed
And in my heart
It just won't go out
Ghost
In my face
Will you leave me alone please
Take me out of this place
Ghost
Why do you torture me so?
Its cos I never believed
I never believed
Never believed
Never believed
Never believed in
I never believed in ghosts
Last week a ghost flew by my ear
Wasn't too scary but it came quite near
Made a little light shine upon my face
And I ran the fuck out of that place
There's a ghost
Living
Inside my face
There's a ghost
Sitting
At the bottom
Of the stairs
Waiting for me
I would kill it if I could
But I don't believe in ghosts
I would kill It if I could, but
I don't believe in ghosts

Thats floating through my leaves

When You

When you coming round to call
When you coming round to call
On my pretty baby
When you're knocking on my door
When you call me on the phone
I answer straight away cos
You're the prettiest girl
You're the prettiest girl I've seen
Look at you look at you pretty baby,
Look at you, I can't believe
You're now walking up the road
You're now walking up the road
And you're carrying a heavy load
I'll be waiting by the door
I'll be waiting by the door
And standing once more
For your call
When you're coming up to me
And you're saying hello
I'll say hello back
And you'll say hello back
And I'll give you a kiss
Give you a kiss
Yeah I'll give you a kiss
On the cheek and on the lips
And you'll say what was that for?
And I'll say thank you for knocking on my door

Round Here

The coconuts are good this time of year
I've never seen your face before
But you're here
When you last came into town
I was like a clown begging for a couple of pounds
Reading papers and reaching the news
Never drank so much God damn tups o' too
When I sat there with you
Listen to records on my vinyl player
Fucking it up, save it for later oh yeah
But they're mixed in for two
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
Watching you walk in the park
Was a fun thing, especially after dark
When the owls came out
The moons so full and its so bloody shiny
I will skip a penny across the sea
And back to you

Did You Ever?

Did you ever see that thing that was coming out the kitchen wall trying to find you that time?
Did you ever figure out that thing you thought that time when we was crossing the line?
I told you once before you never even heard a sign
But all those things I told to you
Fell deep down inside
Did you ever think about those things that we talked about at length that night?
I remember making jokes and funny games and me and you would split our sides
Yeah
We'd split our sides
You know its right
You know I miss them nights
Mate, did you ever think about that time we were so fucking high we couldn't even smile
But it all worked out by the end of the morning cos the night came just in time
Was it 8, was it 9, or 10 O'Clock we got the ninth bag?
I know the party really got started, but
I overdid it, embarrassed myself, or even you or your mate Dan
Cos I know he's only up for a week
Did you ever think about that time
We was walking through the field, alright
5 O'Clock in the morning
Shoes left in the river
It was alright
Till you said to me "Hey Mike
Don't you think we should be getting a lift home?"
But I always think about that time, that I left you, alright
And it never felt right
And I'm sorry for all that
But I hope you think of the time
That we lived it up, alright,
Cos that times what they call a time of your life

Old Man Mike San Juan, Puerto Rico
Music for just after the after party
Hi, I'm Mike, I've been making music as "Old Man Mike"
since 2009 after a friend jokingly called me that when I was listening to some nice morose (in the best possible way) Nick Cave music. I thought it was funny in my 20's, because everyone else was tiny and lil and baby. And those will get old quick. But Old Man Mike is ready made history: timeless
