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 |
