Becoming More Like 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
 [bad word] on!
Everybody knows that No means Yes
Just like [bad word] free on the N.H.S
But the more I look through them the more I see
I'm [bad word] 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'd 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 [bad word] free on the N.H.S
But the more I look through them the more I see
I'm [bad word] more like Alfie
 [bad word] on!
I'm [bad word] more like Alfie
