The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin
Now I've got a cousin called Kevin
He's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless clean and neat
The smoothest you can get them
He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket
My ma said they cost a packet
She won't even let me explain
That me and Kevin were just not the same
Oh my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's private joy
His mothers little golden boy
He's gotta degree in economics
Maths - physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Cos I hate university challenge
Even at the age of ten
Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo
Cos he flicked the kick
And I didn't know
Oh my perfect cousin ..
His mother bought him a synthesizer
Got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise
Playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention
But what a shame it's in vain total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf
Cos Kevin he's in love with himself
Oh my perfect cousin

@chinn11 Well, N.I and especially Derry were pretty poverty-stricken back then, not to mention the state of anarchy and civil war that existed there. The thing I've always liked about the Undertones is how they never posed... most punks were middle class brats from well-to-do families wearing expensive "punk" clothing and trying to act tough. These guys never had to pretend.

Oakey seems like a decent enough chap these days, but I got quite the shock when viewing a trite, mundane, humourless Feargal waxing lyrical on the evils of "stealing" music in a dodgy suit.
Granted, pop icons can't all act like as if they're perpetually 22-years old, but Feargal's 180 is nothing short of dreadful.
The Human League made nice, catchy simple pop music, no more no less.
Loved Numan taking the piss out of himself in The Mighty Boosh.
