about
Clint:
This was the original version of "Mickey's Got a Hold On Me," also recorded in my parents' basement at the same time as "Blizzard." There was also a version of "Rosemary's Baby" recorded at the same time, I don't think any copies of that exist now, though.
We didn't really know what was going on with 32-bit and 16-bit and what happened when you converted them, so this version is a little loud and distorted.
lyrics
i've got a friend
mickey is his name
he takes me out at night
he takes all the blame
he makes me say all the wrong things
and he makes me do what i don't want to
but i know i know i know
he's better than reality
so the choice is clear as you can see
he's got a hold on me (he's got a hold on me)
mickey's got a hold on me (he's got a hold on me)
'this sense of immortality
is temporary' says (he's got a hold on me)
this half-full bottle now in front of me
perception is the next to go (he's got a hold on me)
with him he brings my self esteem
but he'll be back around again (he's got a hold on me)
when i get more inside of me
i don't know what the label shows
but mickey's all the proof that i need
that it doesn't take a genius to figure out
that mickey's got a hold on me
i went out just the other night
i got drunk and i got in a fight
mickey and me, we make a good team
i love him
and he comes in a bottle
he's got a hold on me (he's got a hold on me)
mickey's got a hold on me (he's got a hold on me)
another night spent lonely
drinking til my 40's dry (he's got a hold on me)
thinking about the sentimental side
of me my nonexistent tapestry (he's got a hold on me)
is hindering my game and chemistry
my roommate sucks (he's got a hold on me)
my tape is duct
i owe my best friend forty bucks
i don't know what the label shows
but mickey's all the proof that i need
that it doesn't take a genius to figure out
that mickey's got a hold on me
oh mickey's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
oh mickey's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
oh mickey's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
oh mickey's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
he's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
he's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
he's got a hold on me (oh mickey)
he's got a hold on me
