"are you all settled in? right, then 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 gla**es 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
And once there was a time
I could blindfold myself with love
But not now
To the kind of life i had reserved
For other guys less smart than i
Y'know
And besides
Everybody knows that no means yes
Just like gla**es 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!
