What's it all about
Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about
When you sort it out
Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind
And if only fools are kind
Alfie
Then I guess
It is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs
Only to the strong
Alfie
What will you lend on
An old golden rule
As sure as I believe
There's a heaven above
Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers
Can believe in
I believe in love
Alfie
Without true love you just exist
Alfie
Until you find the love you’ve missed
You're nothing
Alfie....
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day
Alfie...
Alfie...

Ooh deary me
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed
I tell him he should get up ?cause it's nearly half past three
He can't be bothered ?cause he's high on THC
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
I can't even see him ?cause his room is so smoky
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see
I only say it ?cause I care
So please can you stop pulling my hair?
Now now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair my dear mon frère
Ooh Alfie get up it's a brand new day
I just can?t sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
Get off your lazy arse Alfie please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
I'm feeling guilty here for leading you astray
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid
When all you do is stay in playin? your computer games?
I only say it ?cause I care
So please can you stop pullin? my hair?
Now now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair my dear mon frère
Oh little brother please refrain from doing that
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a tw**?
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat
And look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap
I only say it ?cause I care
So please can you stop pulling my hair?
Now now there's no need to swear
Please don't despair
Please don't despair

Until you find the love you've
Missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When I find I'm growing older,
Obstacles that are getting in the way.
If I could click my fingers,
Wish them all away,
Wish them all away,
Wish them all away.
I should try to overcome these obstacles,
Give the world an amazing spectacle to see.
Prove my worth with something visual,
Show more than a modicum of me.
If you had a thought as big as your brain,
That thought's not the sort a brain can contain.
Ready, set, go. I'm a human kangaroo.
I'll jump for you.
Push myself to see what I can do,
Throw me into territories new.
You know that if you had thought as big as your brain,
That thought's not the sort a brain can contain.
People don't want any answers,
They want to work it out for themselves,
Ruin their health and that's not all.
You know I think that,
If you had a thought as big as your brain,
Sunday's gone,
I remember half the fun we had.
Monday has come,
I know I'm not half as glad, glad.
Jumping ship,
Lost my footing, fell and burst my lip.
What can I say?
I deserved it anyway, way.
I can't have sold my soul,
Cos the devil he looks after his own.
And now I feel,
Like a bug on a roulette wheel, wheel.
Sunday's gone I remember half the fun we had.
Monday has come I know I'm not half as glad, glad.
Step back from the world around you,
Look on to your pastures new,
You will grow.
Live through all your empty moments,
Keep hope that the ones you love, love you.
I'm going down and you follow me,
If you want to.
Going down for good.
If you go down winding roads,
Only winding roads will follow you.
Hold on to the thoughts that matter,
Think back and remember more,
They are yours.
Time stops when you're alawys moving,
Stand still and you'll never leave that spot.
I'm going down and you follow me,
If you want to.
Going down for good.
If you go down winding roads,
Only winding roads will follow you.
Honeysuckle grows and flows,
If you stay it will growe over you.
Scrape me from the city's pavement,
Throw me out into the sea like a stone,
Set sail on the windy ocean,
Swim free it's your only chance to be alone,
It must have been something,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're flying old man, oh yeah.
Yeah man that's the shit,
It's the Alfie shit you know man.
You should be digging it right now.
This is what you're experiencing man.
The Alfie sound. Oh my God.
It surely can't be not that time,
Well I'll just ruin my kind.
I hid the sunlight up my sleeve,
Like an 'International #A' theif.
I curse the daylight it strains my eyes,
As they pull down at the sides.
Do fingers that run the bone,
Ever get a holiday?
Don't think so (Down at the sides)
Sweet dreamers behave and save,
Wonders for another day.
That's just bones.
Come on lazy, move yourself.
You won't move anyone else.
And what compares to slumber's dreams?
You're just a day that's frayed at the seams.
The morning paper, stings with grief.
Well I'll just stay under my sheets.
Do fingers that run the bone,
Ever get a holiday?
Don't think so (Under the sheets)
Sweet dreamers behave and save,
Wonders for another day.
Longing for something to sweep you away.
High in a lighthouse,
I'll keep all the people at bay.
Safe on the rocks I can see my own kind.
Lost in my solitude,
Waiting for someone to tell me.
Tell me when you'll give me to the sea.
Sounds from the sea keep me up in the night.
Ripples of danger,
Another ship enters my sight.
Tell me. Tell me when you'll give me to the sea.
You say that I am alone, but you can't see.
I prefer to listen to the ocean's tide.
Stranded and weathered, I hide from the shure.
Jellyfish whisper your name but I want you no more.
May the waves drown my love.
So I'll be tired again.
I'll stretch my head.
Insert my clothes.
And set off on the open road.
Comb my hair,
Grab my bags
I'm out of here.
Wander 'til I find myself
Hang my phone down by my hips.
We'll maybe get rich.
And oh the sunlight burns my eyes.
And shows my carriage where I drive.
It's gon' be that time.
I crave for summerlanes,
A girl with Puerto Rican ways and,
Oh the joy that overflows that took us lot.
A Jack of spades,
I can't go on I cannot smile.
And yeah, you'll be mine to share,
I'll set my roots down anywhere,
This will be that fair.
And yeah, whatever our fare,
2 and 6 won't get us there.
When will we get there?
Sunshine boy meets sunshine girl,
And head out for their sweet little world.
We're digging for pearls.
And oh the sunlight burns our eyes
Ahead results in where I fly.
Byebye byebye byebye byebye byebye.
Cos now the journey, the story ends.
I believe I believe I believe that the sunshine will pave the way.
Cos now the journey, the story ends.
I believe I believe I believe that the sunshine will pave the way.
Cos now the journey, the story ends.
Tiring.
They talk 'til you snooze.
Never, ever realised.
That tide.
Colour, mystery.
You say kids'll tire me.
Couldn't keep.
Couldn't, these strains.
Leave a poor player's life for me.
Wise feet.
Never leave home.
Tracing you down baby,
Cos' I've outgrown.
Summer, new sound.
Seems I wasn't meant for you.
For long.
Feather, you think of.
Maybe then you'll call na-night,
People figure it out, you're just a reflection,
Of all you're allowed to be.
People moving around a single illusion,
To keep you from falling down.
Don't just do what you're told,
Go and try it out or...
People unable to rise, take it or leave it,
There's little to jeapordise.
People what does it matter? You sit doing nothing,
Just getting as fat as you can.
Don't just do what you're told,
Go and try it out or...
Ahhhhhh.......
People living through doubt, it's hardly an option,
To hope it just all works out.
Don't just do what you're told,
Go and try it out or...
I keep everything.
Everything I want to know.
Limp and lifeless days,
Lifeless days hide blinkered eyes.
Eyes that see the blackness growing into me.
Laughter echoes long,
Echoes long before my thoughts can answer.
Leave me laughing when you're gone,
Nothingness and despair is a friend to me.
I stop for no-one,
Keep looking at the ground,
For you need rescuing.
Look at my shadow,
It follows every move I make,
And it follows you.
Watch and wonder,
I swallow all your fragile life.
(Keep in time you will see what about the one that wanted more)
Stop and suffer,
You are no friend for saddened cries.
(Cry with me show your pain I don't care for anybody).
See me through your willows.
And I still have the time for you,
I will keep you up through all your tired eyes,
And look for you.
Laughing time with sparrows,
Matters fly back across the day,
Swoop and fall in time.
I find a new disguise,
You see through me easily,
Undecided rivers,
Run and soothe your seperate self,
Flow until you'll crumble right before your eyes,
You tickle between my toes,
It's easy when we're alone.
You comfort me while I suffer,
Always enough for you if I am there.
Messing around with you,
Like playing with cats and balls of wool.
You screw up your face with laughter,
Even if after things don't seem quite right.
Something's going on around you,
Makes the leaves on the side of the street skip and dance.
Kick your heels to make me feel good,
It's hard not to feel so shy.
When nothing you say sounds right.
Don't worry if I am boring,
It's only the yawns that make me feel that way.
It's not enough.
Isobel by name, is a belle by nature,
Frightened of your hands,
But they're not out to get you.
And when you grow to be old,
Just do what you're told,
And life won't be half as bad
With strawberries on your head,
The world seems a better place.
Innocence is beauty, beauty may not last.
And when you're wide eyed with awe,
I'll open the door,
And show what this life can hold.
Follow your heart (I'll follow),
Lead with your mind and we will go.
(Anywhere you want to we will go).
And when it's late, late in the day for you,
Understand my words,
And keep them by your side.
And when you grow to be old,
You need to be told,
A mole burrows into a marrow,
Sleeps all alone until tomorrow.
Who'll grant you free?
Who'll let you be?
A mole can't see,
He'll just dig deep.
"Hey Mole, hello," said the sparrow,
Is that your home, you really are a funny fellow.
Come with me,
I am so sweet.
Between your ground and my tree,
We'll be complete.
If you've ever been consoled,
You'll know what hapened to this mole.
If you've ever been set free,
You know what all this means to me.
If you've never seen the sun,
And never warmed to anyone,
Dig your way out of the Earth,
Don't stop me from breathing,
I burn like an open wound,
Just waiting to heal.
I'm halfway home,
I won't stop believing.
On my own,
Cos I still see the world from here.
Is this like believing?
It seems miracles are everyday
Now you've come along,
And tomorrow I'm just leaving you,
Only time can drag me back.
The rain stopped me from leaving.
If you've got an alibi, then journey through the world.
I'm held down here, but I'll break through the ceiling.
Does this strike a reason in you?
It seems miracles are everyday
Now you've come along,
And tomorrow I'm just leaving you,
Only time can drag me back.
Your beauty only turns me back, cos I belong.
Still see the world from here.
It seems miracles are everyday
Now you've come along,
And tomorrow I'm just leaving you,
Honey what do I say to you, for showing me the way?
For doing all the things you do, blowing me away.
Who's dark day was it when I was told?
Who remembers the day when all the flowers bloom and,
The ground was wet and people flew.
And all the pretty flowers looked like you.
So now I wake up in the morning and smile.
I know if I had ever thought that I could be an astronaut.
That I'll just sit and play guitar.
It's yours if you want it,
No-one's berating me.
Try not to feel so afraid,
It's your move, angel,
It's all there, in you.
A word in your ear,
There's reason to get through,
Yesterday's never ahead of you.
Carry yourself,
Forclose your enemy,
I'm not worthy of you now and I'll never be.
It's yours if you want it,
No-one's berating me.
Try not to feel so afraid,
It's your move, angel,
It's all there, in you.
A word in your ear,
There's reason to get through,
Yesterday's never ahead of you.
Carry yourself,
Forclose your enemy,

Miscellaneous
Free
No I don't wanna wait until tomorrow
Just wanna live my life today, babe
I've been living in confusion and in sorrow
Why can't nobody hear me when I say
I know there must be something out there
I know, that can help me find my way
'cause I'm in desperate need of some answers
To my questions of today
And I'm looking for blame
Before it drives me insane
I don't know any other way
(Chorus)
I just wanna be free
I'm in too deep
It's not what I need
There must be something better for me
See, there must be a light at the end of the tunnel
It's written in the sky
And maybe that I've been a little bit too humble
And I often wonder why
I know, there must be other people who feel the way I do
I know it's hard to understand me
I don't wanna take it out on you
And I'm trying to find
Where I should draw the line
I'm a prisoner of this state of mind
(Chorus)
I just wanna be free
(I just wanna be me)
I'm in too deep
It's not what I need
There must be something better for me
See I've got nothing to lose
This is my life and I choose
And I don't care if I fall
'cause it's all or nothing at all
