Divine Comedy Becoming More Like Alfie
(Wot, you all settled then? Right, we can begin. My name is...) (Alfie!) Once there was a time when my mind lay on higher things And once there was a time I could find pretty words to sing But now, well now I find it saves time to say what you mean I know it seems so unrefined But it's time to let off some steam Oh come on! Everybody knows that No means Yes just like glasses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie Once there was a time when a kind word could be enough Andonce there was a time I could blindfold myself with love But not now - now I'm resigned to the kind of life I'd reserved for other guys less smart than I Y'know the kind who will always end up with the girls And besides everybody knows that No means Yes just like glasses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie Oh come on! I'm becoming more like Alfie
