Biography:
Microdisney was an Irish musical duo formed in 1980 by Cathal Coughlan (keyboards, vocals) and Sean O'Hagan (guitar).
Like many bands, who might otherwise have gone unrecognised, they were given a wider audience by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel.
They recorded for Virgin and Rough Trade. Albums included the early compilation "We Hate You South African Bastards!" (later renamed "Love Your Enemies"), "Everybody Is Fantastic", "The Clock Comes Down The Stairs", "Crooked Mile" and "39 Minutes".

[Intro]
G D Am7 C/D
[Verse 1]
G D Am7 C/D
They opened up a cocktail bar
G D Am7 C/D
In the shadow of Engels Court
G D Am7 C/D
Now folks dress up and spend their cash
G D Am7 C/D
You can't deny their London pride
C D
They say "Who won the war?
Am Bm
Who ruled the world?
C D
Who showed them all?"
Am7 Bm7
Well who cares?
[Chorus]
Dm7 Gm Am7
Run from the past
Dm7 Gm Am7
Into the past
[Verse 2]
G D Am7 C/D
Your job will go, your house will go
G D Am7 C/D
But they will wave from their video
C D Am Bm
And the police will be there as well
C D
With a boot or gun
Am7 Bm7
To cry out
[Chorus]
Dm7 Gm Am7
Run from the past
Dm7 Gm Am7
Into the past
[Verse 3]
Dm7 C D
Into the past she ran
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
Underschooled and underfed
Dm7 C
And she runs through the deaf city
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 Em7
Looking for a well paid job
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
And she finds it on the gin house floor
[Guitar Solo]
G D Am7 C/D x2
[Verse 4]
C D
And the papers always say "Go back to work
Am Bm C D Am7 Bm7
You're all alone, old fashioned, weak and childish"
[Chorus]
Dm7 Gm C
Run from the past
Dm7 Gm C
Into the past
Dm7 Gm Am7
You got to run from the past
Dm7 Gm Am7 Dm7 Gm Am7
Into the past, yeah
