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]
A
[Verse 1]
E E7 F#7
Sing "Give that fine young pig an Irish passport"
D F#m7 A B7
My father threw away his paper hat
A C#m F#7
The pig just brought him thanks and said some prayers
D D6 F#m7 B7
For the safe return of his departed head (That's what he said)
[Verse 2]
E E7 F#7
If they kick you out you'll join the Army
D F#m7 A B7
We won't let you lie around this house
A C#m F#7
I have slaved and prayed and so will you, boy
D D6 F#m7 B7
To leave behind a wretched guilty past
[Chorus 1]
G Am7 C/D
Humane the humane will die with a smile
G Am7 C/D
Firemen and barmen must eat their dinner
[Verse 3]
E E7 F#7
The factories were full of dancing bogmen
D F#m7 A B7
And the Irish food tycoons, they went to Hong Kong
A C#m F#7
My Father gave up work 'cause he'd got so sad
D D6 F#m7 B7
And I ran off to lie and starve and dream
[Chorus 2]
G Am7 C/D
Humane the humane will die with a smile
G Am7 C/D
Firemen and barmen waiting all in a line
G Am7 C/D
And see de Valera, dead pig for a throne
G Am7 C/D
He says "No sun and no stars where you're going"
[Instrumental Fade]
