“Mickey gets things all mixed up,
the front is back, the taking’s giving.
His brain can’t take the stress,
cant take the strain of modern living…”

“undoubtedly the bands masterpiece…..”
Based on the poems recently published as
Liver & Lights No 56. One Shoe Michael;
A London Song Cycle,
we are proud to finally deliver to the world
a brand new album of thematically
linked songs relating to the life and times
of the mythical One Shoe Mickey,
a former refugee now living in London.
Mickey has taken a bang or two in his hard life,
and his brains are a bit scrambled, but not his heart.
His heart has been made more human by his hardships
and his odd pronouncements seem, despite their mixedupness,
to make more sense than any politician.
Mickey sets out every day from his cardboard home
in search of the One True Glove, reputed to be lost somewhere
in the ancient and mythical city of London.
These ten songs tell of his daily trudges
along our well trodden streets,
searching, always searching, for his lost family,
among the fallen gloves and trodden snails of London.
These songs also commemorate some of the people he meets
along the way; their infinite capacity for kindness, and selflessness
despite their daily struggle.
Liver & Lights No 56. One Shoe Michael,
containing all the lyrics and Mickey’s glove paintings
in full colour reproduction,
is still available for £10.00…Special Offer!!
If you've already paid...I haven't forgotten
.....in the post shortly!!!!
