Becoming More Like Alfie Lyrics - Singles - Divine Comedy

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

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

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 

Photos 

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!
