Bilingual
He's a pleasure took him to the top
But every light was red, every sign said stop
He felt so confined, just like glue to the spot, oh
As we were creeping in the noonday sun
He escaped the test and the marathon run
And no one heard Alfie's muffled cries, oh
Alfie, you put a stop to that
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
'Cause although it's hard we might have made it through
But now there's nothing left, except the memories of you
ย
The overflowing bath full of kisses we ran right
To the top of the stairs to find
Poor Alfie and a bloodstained letter
We count the change and don't look for blame
It's a fair exchange
For the last dignity I have left
ย
So talk of pressure or depression but listen to me
ย
Alfie, you put a stop to that
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
'Cause although it's hard we might have made it through
But now there's nothing left, except the memories of
Nothing left, except the memories of
Morning pain, please, pity poor Alfie
