“Alsatian Cousin” is about falling for someone you know you will never have. In this song, producer Stephen Street creates an ambiance of thick warping guitars and echoing voices.
[Verse 1]
Were you and he lovers?
And would you say so if you were?
On a forecourt, on a Friday
Passing my way
[Verse 2]
Were you and he lovers?
And if you were, then say that you were
On a groundsheet, under canvas
With your tent-flap open wide
[Verse 3]
A note upon his desk:
"P.S. Bring me home and have me!"
Leather elbows on a tweed coat
Oh, is that the best you can do?
[Verse 4]
So came his reply:
"...but on the desk is where I want you!"
So I ask, even though I know
Were you and he lovers?
