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

Just listen to these strange bass lines Danny makes in the opening, it makes you wonder if they are "right",and then he makes it open up and it sort of just fit in! What a bass player to jam with!

I've been watching 'Later' with Jools Holland for as long as I can remember. Must be a good 20 years. And there's been many iconic and memorable performances over the years, but this must be my favorite. To be honest, I hold my hands up, I'd never really heard much about Richard Thompsom at the time, but after watching this, I went out and bought a lot of his back catalogue... Everything about this song excited me. It's lyrically divine, it's melodically sublime, and it's musically bloody excellent. Really love the lyrics.

HIS MELODIES RECALL TIMELESS BALLADS, WHILE HIS PLAYING - SOMETIMES SET IN TRICKY (BUT NOT SHOWY) TIME SIGNATURES - MOVES AMONG JAZZ INVENTIVENESS, FOLK RESONANCE AND ROCK & ROLL CAPACITY. RICHARD IS SO DEFT THAT HIS EXTRAORDINARY ORIGINALITY SEEMS COMPLETELY NATURAL.

Kickass! Danny plays some really on the edge tones, simply fantastic! The whole band is on the thin end of the wedge sometimes. If Richard would have kept the song going for a couple of minutes more...

I saw them in Cincy during this tour... as tight a band as I've ever heard! I was totally awe-struck. Shame few of his videos on here contain some of the stories he would tell between songs... he's also an excellent story-teller.
