Cooksferry Queen Songtext / Lyric

Well there's a house in an alley

In the squats and low-rise

Of a town with no future

But that's where my future lies



It's a secret, but no secret

It's a rule, but no rule

Where you find the darkest avenue

There you'll find the brightest jewel



Now my name it is Mulvaney

And I'm known quite famously

People speak my name in whispers

What higher praise can there be



But I'd trade my fine mohair

For tied-dyes and faded jeans

If she wanted me some other way

She's my Cooksferry Queen






She gave me one pill to get bigger

She gave me one pill to get small

I saw snakes dancing all around her feet

And dead men coming throught the wall

Well I'm the prince of this parish

I've been ruthless and I've been mean

But she blew my mind as she opened my eyes

She's my Cooksferry Queen



Yeaaaaah



Well she's got every rare perfection

All her looks beyond compare

She's got dresses that seem to float in the wind

Pre-Raphaelite curls in her hair



She could get the lame to walking

She could get the blind to see

She could make wine out of Thames river water

She could make a believer out of me



Yes I'd trade it all tomorrow

All the wicked things I've been

She's my bright jewel of the alley

She's my Cooksferry Queen



Yes I'd trade it all tomorrow

All the wicked things I've been

She's my bright jewel of the alley

She's my Cooksferry Queen



Oooooh
