Lyrics
Keaveny, when I found out the news that you were leavin’ me
I couldn’t believe that our time was through
How am I gonna fill my afternoons?
When I'm home waitin’ for the man to arriveOr callin’ out to Mary Ann to show me a sign
It might appear like tears fill my eyes (Keaveny)
Onion fumes have filled the room and that is why (Keaveny)
No need for cryin’Listen to Karen
We have only just begun
Keaveny, I missed you because you were the best thing that ever happened to me (today)So Keaveny, I signed up to your garden radio community
You can’t predict if the equipment’s gon’ fail yaI’m still committed, I’ll even email ya
I will brave the discord Keaveny (Keaveny)
I will testify in your small claims court Keaveny (Keaveny)
On Friday AfternoonsI will tune
In to you
From one to three, for jokes you’ve heardFollowed by tumbleweed, I can confirm
It’s the best part of the week, this time’s reserved
For the lad from Leigh, Keaveny
In the open arms I findA crispy egg and pint
And I like the clientele
And the tunes
Playing on the jukebox
As I sip my si si si si San Miguel
Ryan Gosling says you’re boyfriend materialThose months without you were purgatorial
It’s time for all those bits and bobs and AOB (Keaveny)
Shout out some middle aged poetry (Keaveny)
As you stroll down birthday boulevard KeavenyPlease drink responsibly, Keaveny
You’re turning 50, Keaveny…..
KeavenyKiss you on both cheeks
A voicemail from Sting is a guarantee
Keaveny
Can you still hear me?
I’m just singing your name repeatedly
