Lyrics - Becoming More Like Alfie by Divine Comedy

(
Wot, you all settled then?
Right, we can begin.
My name is...)(
Alfie!)
Once there was a timewhen my mind lay on higher things
And once there was a time
I could find pretty words to sing
But now, well now
I findit 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
Yesjust like glasses come free on the
N.
H.
SBut the more
I look through them the more
I see
I'm becoming more like
Alfie
Once there was a timewhen a kind word could be enough
Andonce there was a time
I could blindfold myself with love
But not now - now
I'm resignedto the kind of life
I'd reservedfor other guys less smart than
IY'know the kind who will always end up with the girls
And besideseverybody knows that
No means
Yesjust like glasses come free on the
N.
H.
SBut 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
