Becoming More Like Alfie Tab

by The Divine Comedy


INTRO: 
                  (9)       
 
    /   
Once there was a  
    / 
time,   When my  
 /     
mind  lay on   higher things 

{as above} 

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!
