4. Billy Meany

As the waves come over The harbour wall, I’m Fascinated and appalled While you tell me all About billy meany and Yvonne His older sister I was back from England For a week We had to go somewhere Where we could speak So we went down to the harbour Like we always did Back when we were kids You light one up and you Pass it to me And for a moment I’m lost In memories thinking Of another day watching The snow fall and dissolve Into the sea Like I say I’m appalled But I’m also fascinated Did you know me and billy Are distantly related Billy’s mother was my Grandfather’s second cousin I suppose that should Make me feel something But it doesn’t You light one up and you Pass it to me And for a moment I’m lost In memories thinking Of another day watching The snow fall and dissolve Into the sea The day that billy’s sister Yvonne Became a teenage bride billy ups and Emigrates stateside Six months later he committed suicide Yvonne gave birth to a baby boy Three days after billy died Yvonne’s baby was three months Premature But local gossip has it God help him the poor creature He resembles his old uncle bill In every feature You light one up and you Pass it to me And for a moment I’m lost In memories thinking Of another day watching The snow fall and dissolve Into the sea As the waves come over The harbour wall, I’m Fascinated and appalled While you tell me all About billy meany and Yvonne His older sister
