The Twilight League


I Have My Lady.
I Stole Her From Joyce
And He Didn't Seem To Mind Much
Off In Some Italian Village Dreaming Of Paris
Yet Wrapped Up In The Greeks And Their Affairs
But Today My Lady, She Is Spoken For And Of
Not In Zurich Because That Crowd Haven't Acquired Her Just Yet
No, She Was Mentioned In The Queens Head
In The Same Breath As Blacks And Dogs
Because A Rozzie Told A Rangers Fan To Go To Hell Or To Cricklewood
Wondering Will 'O Oliver Boy' Make The Transfer Deadline

I Have My Woman.
I Stole Her From Wilde
And He Cared But It Unravelled The Second Time
Though His Mother Still Gave It A Go
But Jane You Were Just Too Early
But Today My Woman, She Is Spoken For And Of
In The Bars Along The Yonkers Boarder
Singing Drunk About An Old Hunger And New Thirst
And Whispering A Change Of Hands
In The Pony Trade, For Katonah Has The Coke Scene Wrapped Up
While Its Hard To Keep P Diddy And His Pals Off McLean With These Cavan Landlords

I Have My Girl.
I Stole Her From Yeats
And Its Fair To Say He Kick Up The Dirt
So I Took Her Up North Before It Would Mean Something
Leaving Him With Mr Gregory's Young Lass
But Today My Girl, She Is Spoken For And Of
As If She Will Live On Confusing Her With The Ripped Notes To Maud Gonne
Later He Can Forget His Youth And Concern Himself With The Distance
From Dublin To The Geordie Shore For Our One Is In Nova Scotia
So We'll Call Our Show Fade Or Pale Street
And Then Go Ahead And Sell Father Ted To Channel 4
