Lyric 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
