Lyrics Irish Cousin - Kirsty MacColl

Irish Cousin

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
