Mike Lyrics

Cover art for Mike lyrics by Xiu Xiu

I think the "pull my finger" line is this sort of random and absurd thing you say when things just become unbearably bleak. This sense of saying something, anything, to lighten the cirucmstances even though it makes no sense at all... just anything to stop you from losing it.

_ written after his dad mike died

  • It is Nigel, not neil.. Nigel is jamie's brother in law, married to his sister
  • pull my finger was a family joke
  • he had a good relationship with his dad and was in bands with him, although his mother and father were not always together so this put a strain on the entire stewart family
  • He was a good man. Quite, peaceful, reserved, very funny at times, very much his own person.
  • THE END

    If he was very funny at times, perhaps that's why it says "pull my fingers" which is known (at least in America) as the sign for passing gas. Geesh...do I have to 'splain everything. Sad song. Odd band. Band with an odd following (Pen*s misplacement, or is it. Arrr Arrr)
