Title: My Low Down Man
Character: Mycroft
Number of tracks: 10
Disclaimer: Songs are the property of their respective artists. Cover designs were created by me in Photoshop. Please do not repost without proper credit.
Notes: As noted, this mix is mostly focused on Mycroft, though if you listen to the lyrics you'll notice that Sherlock managed to sneak in there quite a few times. Most notably as a squirrel. Moriarty makes an appearance if you squint. Artists include Squirrel Nut Zippers, Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, and The Cure.
1. Smalltown Boy (Bronski Beat)
You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
For the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home
2. Low Down Man (Squirrel Nut Zippers)
That low down man with his low down ways
I know he'll go some day
I'll wait till then
The story's ending
It wont be long
But from now on
If he could see through my eyes
And be the one who cries
He would see
He would never be
That low down man of mine
3. Boys Don't Cry (the Cure)
Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
4. Old Boyfriends (Crystal Gayle) --- Tom Waits cover
Old boyfriends
Lost in the pocket of your overcoat
Like burned out light bulbs on a Ferris Wheel
Old boyfriends
...
They look you up when they're in town
To see if they can still burn you down
He fell in love, you see
With someone that I used to be
5. Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk (Rufus Wainwright)
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker
A little bit harmful for me
If I should buy jellybeans
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter
A little bit fatter
A little bit harmful for me
And then there's those other things
Which for several reasons we won't mention
Everything about them is a little bit stranger
A little bit harder
A little bit deadly
...
Still there's not a show on my back
Holes or a friendly intervention
I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish
A little bit tower of Pisa whenever i see you
So please be kind if I'm a mess
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
6. Cold Blooded Old Times (Smog)
Mother came rushing in
She said we didn't see a thing
We said we didn't see a thing
...
And though you were
Just a little squirrel
You understood every word
7. Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
8. Desperado (the Eagles)
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
9. Losing My Religion (Jacqui Naylor) --- R.E.M. cover
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees
10. Bang Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down (Nancy Sinatra)
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
