Marilyn Monroe (3)
The jury found him guilty
Sent him down for seven years
Though he acted like they gave him life
He couldn't stop the tears
And when we went to visit him
He didn't want to know
It seems like jail's sent him off the rails
Like Marilyn Monroe
His mind's gone dancing
Can't stop dancing
They showed him to a doctor
And after routine tests
A prescription note the doctor wrote
For the chronically depressed
And now the tears have stopped
He sits and counts the days to go
And treats his ills with daily pills
Like Marilyn Monroe
They stop his mind from dancing
Stop it dancing
What are ya doin'?
I'm takin' me tablet
Listen, Mickey, I've told ya they're just junk
You'll be home soon
You should come off them
Why? I need to take these
Mickey, you've been taking them
Look, the doctor said, he said-
What did he say?
He said, about me nerves an' how I get
Depressed an' I got to take these cos they make me better
I get depressed but I don't take those
You don't need them, Mickey
God, Linda, leave me alone
I can't cope with this. I'm not well
The doctor said, didn't he, I'm not well
I can't do things. Just leave me alone, Linda
With grace for good behaviour
He got out before his time
The family and the neighbours said
That he was lookin' fine
But he's feelin' fifteen years older
And his speech is rather slow
The neighbours said
You'd think he was dead
Like Marilyn Monroe
No cause for dancing
No more dancing
Where's me tablets gone, Linda?
Mickey, you promised
I know I promised but I can't do without them
Look. We've managed to sort ourselves out this far
But what's the use if-
We have managed to sort ourselves out?
I'm not stupid
You sorted it out, Linda
You an' councillor Eddie Lyons
Now give us me tablets, I need them
What about what I need? I need you
I love you
Sent him down for seven years
Though he acted like they gave him life
He couldn't stop the tears
And when we went to visit him
He didn't want to know
It seems like jail's sent him off the rails
Like Marilyn Monroe
His mind's gone dancing
Can't stop dancing
They showed him to a doctor
And after routine tests
A prescription note the doctor wrote
For the chronically depressed
And now the tears have stopped
He sits and counts the days to go
And treats his ills with daily pills
Like Marilyn Monroe
They stop his mind from dancing
Stop it dancing
What are ya doin'?
I'm takin' me tablet
Listen, Mickey, I've told ya they're just junk
You'll be home soon
