Irish Cousin - Kirsty MacColl

Id like to say that you gave me the best days of your life

So have one on me Ive been away but I think of you much more these days

Thanks for the memories

Here comes the moon again

It makes me think of when I last saw

My irish cousin

He looked so happy then

I cant believe that hes gone at all

My irish cousin

He said «surprise!»

And I could not believe my eyes

When I saw love

Yes I saw love

Hey, its good to hear your voice

Even if Im number 32 in your little black book of things to do Hey, would you like to go out today

Maybe see a show

I dont know about you

So little time, so many things to do

I used to have these conversations all of the time

With my irish cousin

Well, here comes the moon again

I cant believe thats when I last saw

My irish cousin

We had a row in every bar in dublin

But we loved it cause we were equal

Two very lonely people

Oh, is it too late to tell him that I miss him?

I cant remember kissing him goodbye

My irish cousin

I let him down so many times but he never kicked me out

He let me cry, hed let me shout

He said «thats what its all about»

Here comes the moon again

It makes me think of when I last saw

My irish cousin

He made me laugh beyond the call of duty and I loved him

Im so glad I told him

But maybe thats what did him in I wouldnt put it past him

My irish cousin

He said «surprise!»

And I could not believe my eyes

When I saw love

Yes I saw love

In my irish cousin
