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".

[Verse 1]
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
We went to a cheap hotel
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
A no soap no sleep hotel
C F C F
It did for us and for public scorn.
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
In the dying town where we were born
A Bm7 E7
How I hoped she wouldn’t change her mind.
A Bm7 E7
Up until it was time to find
A D7 C
She was even crazier than I
[Chorus 1]
G D
In the big sleeping house

Painted white

Facing south

With the ghost to grin at you

Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
This is the night before
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
We’ve had a little and we want some more
C F C F
It shakes the world and it makes us sweat
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
We make no promises we make no threats.
A Bm7 E7
And I gave her what she did demand
A Bm7 E7
It was weak and it was built on sand
A D7 C
And she clawed through it with both her hands.
[Chorus 1]

A Bm7 E7
I heard she went off to America
A Bm7 E7
She has position and possessions now
A D7 C
And I will bet she can’t remember how
[Chorus 2]

In the big sleeping house

Painted white

Facing south

She held my hands up to her face

And said damn this place

This haunted place
