Leaving Land- a Mickey Smith fanmix
Oh, this was a lot of fun. XD
I got into fanmixs not too long ago…I thought they were a nifty idea. And then I thought I ought to do one, and I went for my favourite character from my favourite TV show. ;)
With thanks to eldritchhobbit for her help. :D
INTRODUCTION: Mickey (Toni Basil)
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
‘Cos let’s face it, that song couldn’t not be in here. (And the BBC think so too, judging by the number of times they’ve used it. ;) ) Same goes for song number one: it’s been used so much that if I didn’t include it the fanmix would feel a bit incomplete somehow.
And now, onto the main event:
TOLD A STORY ABOUT A MAN WHO IS TOO AFRAID TO FLY SO HE NEVER DID LAND-
<a href=”http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X99S1ITV
“>01: Drops Of Jupiter (Train)
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated…
DOCTOR [to ROSE]
This box isn’t just a London hopper, you know, it goes anywhere in the universe free of charge.
MICKEY
Don’t! He’s an alien! He’s a thing!
DOCTOR
He’s not invited. What do you think? You could stay here and fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go… anywhere.
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
What if I was alright?
What if I wasn’t wound so tight?
What if I had the balls to be bad?
Would you still look at me like that?
ROSE
Thanks.
MICKEY
Thanks for what?
ROSE
Exactly.
[She runs to the TARDIS and is gone.]
Maybe I’ll have the guts to go mad
Maybe I’ll mess me up real bad
Maybe I’ll make you wish you had the old me back…
ROSE
He’s not my boyfriend, Mickey, he’s better than that!
*
JACKIE
I thought I was gonna die.
[She starts to cry. Mickey hugs her.]
MICKEY
Come on, yeah? If anyone’s gonna cry, it’s gonna be me. Now, you’re safe in my flat, Jacks – no one’s gonna look for you here, especially since you hate me so much.
03: Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own (U2)
You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
JACKIE
You saved my life. God, that’s embarrassing.
MICKEY
You’re telling me.
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone
MICKEY
I’ll take it on, Jackie. You just run. Don’t look back. Just run.
I noticed tonight
That the world has been turning
While I’ve been stood here dithering around
Well I know I said I’d wait around till you need me
But I have to go
MICKEY
How can you say that, and then take her with you?
DOCTOR
You could look after her. Come with us.
MICKEY
I can’t. This life of yours… it’s just too much, I… I couldn’t do it.
I hate to let you down.
05. She Was My Girl (Jerry Cantrell)
Repeated dreamer
Now and then I see her
And we have lunch
MICKEY
I’ve been thinking, you know… we could… go and have a drink. Have a pizza or something. Just you and me.
ROSE
That’d be nice.
She was my girl
Used to be my world
MICKEY
I’m going out with Trisha Delaney.
[Rose stares, surprised]
ROSE
Right… that’s nice… Trisha from the shop?
MICKEY
Yeah, Rob Delaney’s sister.
ROSE
Well, she’s nice. She’s a bit big…
MICKEY
She lost weight.
[A pause]
MICKEY
You’ve been away!
ROSE
Well, good for you. She’s nice.
MICKEY
So, tell us more about this planet, then.
ROSE
That was it, really…
I miss my girl.
MICKEY
We were nice. We were happy. And then what, you give me a kiss and you run off with him and you make me feel like nothing, Rose. I was nothing!
Should have been my name
Mister Cellophane
‘Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I’m there!
MICKEY
Am I just supposed to sit here for the rest of my life, waiting for you? Because I will!
ROSE
I’m sorry…
07: She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5)
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
MICKEY
You can’t spend the rest of your life thinking about the Doctor.
ROSE
But how do I forget him?
MICKEY
You’ve got to start living your own life. You know, a proper life, like the kind he’s never had. The sort of life that you could have with me.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
ROSE
But it was… it was a better life. And I – I don’t mean all the travelling and… seeing aliens and spaceships and things – that don’t matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know, he showed you too. That you don’t just give up, you don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away, and I just can’t–
She will be loved
She will be loved…
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don’t forget the rest of us
MICKEY
If you go back, you’re gonna die.
ROSE
That’s a risk I’ve gotta take. ‘Cos there’s nothing left for me here.
MICKEY
Nothing?
ROSE
No.
MICKEY
Okay, if that’s what you think. Let’s get this thing open.
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
MICKEY
There’s gotta be something else we can do.
ROSE
Mum was right… maybe we should just lock the door and walk away.
MICKEY
I’m not having that. I’m not having you just– just give up now. No way.
Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space…
09. Everybody’s Changing (Keane)
You’re gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
MICKEY
You’re never gonna stay, are you?
ROSE
There’s just so much out there. So much to see… I’ve got to.
‘cos everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right
Hopelessly, I’ll love you endlessly
Hopelessly, I’ll give you everything
But I won’t give you up
MICKEY
Love you.
ROSE
Bye…
I won’t let you down.

DROPS OF JUPITER! I already have the song, but you get 100 awesome points for using the song. *points to icon*
April 18, 2006 @ 10:07 pm
Drops of Jupiter is my favourite song ever. Ever. I’ve seen it in so many fanmixes and it’s always so appropriate for Doctor Who… I never get tired of seeing it. Then again that might be one of the reasons why I like DW so much! Anyhoo… fantastic fanmix! (And I love the pretty artwork, too… shall me sticking that next to the songs on my iPod *g*) I will be downloading tomorrow, hopefully, because my laptop’s being a pain in the arse, but it is very Mickey. :)
April 18, 2006 @ 10:18 pm
Ooooh, awesome mix! Great choices. Way to go! :)
April 18, 2006 @ 11:51 pm
love it! (will you, perchance, be uploading a zip with the graphics et al?) i’ve been trying to do a mickey mix, but i think i’ve just not had enough time to really think about him. i keep making these totally emo mixes, which IS partly him, but it looses something about his character. so yeah, well done, bravo. and lovely cover art, by the by.
April 19, 2006 @ 4:28 pm
I might try and upload a zip. My computer is notorious when it comes to moving big files around, though. ;) I’d love to see your mix if you do it!
April 19, 2006 @ 12:54 am
Ooh, fun. Very nice matching up with Mickey, good choices. :) I have half the music already, but nabbing Maroon 5, thankee very much, and will think of PotW from now on when I hear it…
April 19, 2006 @ 2:41 am
Gah. You have good taste. Especially U2. <3 Yoinking Drops of Jupiter. :D Yay for fanmixes!! Mickey is very good-looking, also.
April 19, 2006 @ 4:21 pm
Mickey is very good-looking, also. He is, isn’t he? I must get you into Doctor Who one of these days. ;) U2 are awesome. <3
April 19, 2006 @ 2:43 am
nice fanmix. Mickey needs more love and attention. the songs are very fitting (specially “Mister Cellophane”, and of course “Drops of Jupitar”, that is just so very Rose).
April 19, 2006 @ 6:00 am
Oh Mickey, I love the poor man so. That boy need some love.
April 19, 2006 @ 5:32 pm
/Nice/ choices. *beam* And particularly nice idea to work bits of the dialogue into the lyrics, because I can completely see how it fits into canon. I am stealing Mr Cellophane, because I love it so.
April 19, 2006 @ 6:39 pm
Drops of Jupiter! I used that song on my DW fanmix that I made recently. Anyhoo, great song choices! :D
April 21, 2006 @ 12:53 am
Great mix!
April 22, 2006 @ 10:52 pm
good mix, downloaded the toni basil cant stop now and endlessly.
April 26, 2006 @ 7:44 pm
This looks great!!!! There’s no chance you’ll be doing a zip-file with all the songs and the artwork though? I know it’s a lot to ask…
May 17, 2006 @ 7:08 pm
Great choice of songs here. Snagging Hey Mickey.
November 2, 2007 @ 6:39 pm
Hi! Discovered this whilst on the hunt for Mickey/Noel Clarke icons to use as a PB in an RP game, but of course all the files are lost now. Would you mind re-uploading them, please?
November 3, 2007 @ 12:55 pm
Am re-uploading them now. Unfortunately I don’t have the song ‘Mickey’ anymore, though, it seems to have gotten lost. :( Sorry about that…
November 3, 2007 @ 1:37 pm
Or ‘Mister Cellophane’ either. Bugger. Sorry. :(
November 3, 2007 @ 1:47 pm
Ignore previous comment: managed to get that one. :p
November 21, 2007 @ 3:34 pm
*grins* Got them! Thanks loads. I have no Mickey icon. This is a crying shame, really.
