"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 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! |
" 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 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. | |

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! | |
