Teksty: Divine Comedy. Becoming More Like 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
And once there was a time I could blindfold myself with love
But not now, now I'm resigned to the kind of life
I had 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
