Let's start at the beginning again with a brandy and a cigarette And your conspiracy theories on space travel- said you just hadn't bought it yet said you hadn't bought it all yet Let's start with your crushed velvet coat draped across my bed All that sexual energy tangled in burgundy- said until then you hadn't found me yet said you hadn't found me just yet Hey my little little la-de-dai Hey my little lai-dee Hey my little little la-de-dai Hey my little lai-dee You said you'd had an Irish dream Said you'd led an Irish life You saw fourteen stations and reincarnations of some Irish poet's mistress or wife some poet's mistress or wife Chorus And I believed every word as only a young girl can And now that I'm older and many years wiser I long for a lover I can't understand I long for that kind of man Chorus
