I've got a cousin called Mel, where will he go?
There's one thing Kev'll never be on the shelf, because Kevin - he's in love with himself
The O'Neill bros were the driving force behind band and when Ferg went solo they formed That Petrol Emotion. Neither produced anything as good as the Undertones.Great bands fom Ireland at that time, some that should have been huge suc as the Blades and Stiff Little Fingers whose Alternative Ulster is a classic.

Undertones
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 ...

ooops sry Padster..indeed wrong way round....but the sentiment is correct.
Makes sense now,still a lovely ditty which i have belted out when asked to sing in pub!!
Sharkey lost all credibility for me when he was miming A Good Heart on aplane on Xmas show years ago ,live and sound system brke down and he looked like a complete plonker not knowing what to do. He needed his bandmates more than they needed him. When the Undertones reformed a few years ago they got a new lead singer who was nearly as good as Sharkey. Also was a touch of Tiger Woods about Sharkey, proving fame is a great aphrodisiac
signing off good nite friends
