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
Seems like jail's sent him off the rails
Just like Marilyn Monroe
His mind's gone dancing
Constant 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 counts the days to go
And treats his ills with daily pills
Just like Marilyn Monroe
They stop his mind from dancing
Stop it dancing
LINDA
What are you doin'?
MICKEY
What?
Taking me tablets
LINDA
Listen Mickey, I told ya
They're just junk
You'll be home soon Mickey an-
You should come off them
MICKEY
Why?
I need- I need to take them
LINDA
Listen Micky I-
MICKEY
No.
See, he said. The doctor he said-
LINDA
What did he say?
MICKEY
He said about my nerves, and how I get depressed
And that I've gotta take these because they'll make me better
LINDA
I get depressed. But I don't take those
You don't need those Mickey-
MICKEY
Leave me alone
I can't cope with this, I'm not well
The doctor said didn't he ay- 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 told him
He was lookin' fine
Bu he's feeling fifteen years older
And his speech is rather slow
The neighbour said you'd think he was dead
Just like Marilyn Monroe
No cause for dancing
No more dancing
MICKEY
Where's me tablets gone Linda?
LINDA
Mickey... You promised
MICKEY
I know I promised but I can't do without them
LINDA
Look- We've managed to sort ourselves out this far
But what's the use!
MICKEY
We have sorted ourselves out?
Do you think I'm really stupid?
LINDA
You what?
MICKEY
You sorted it out
You and Councillor Eddie Lyons
Now give me my tablets I need them
LINDA
And what about what I need?
I need you. I love you
