The Living End - Alfie Lyrics

The Living End Lyrics

"Alfie"

Do you know why he's hangin' on?
Alfie you've waited too long
You've been stuck there in a coma
Well we need you to wake up
And come back home

Because the beer's gone flat
The jokes are getting old
We need you to turn back on the lightbulb
So wake up Alfie
Let's have a crack
We're waiting for you to come back

Oh Alfie can you hear me calling you
Alfie can you hear me calling
Well I don't know if I'm even getting through
Can you hear me calling out for you

Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Can you hear me calling out for you

We've been trying
To sing our old songs
Without you here
It all sounds so wrong
And now there's nowhere
Left to play
They put a sold sign out the front
And burned it down anyway

And now the beer's goin flat
The jokes are getting old
We need you to throw us all a lifeboat
So wake up Alfie
Let's have a crack
We're waiting for you to come back

Oh Alfie can you hear me calling you
Alfie can you hear me calling
Well I don't know if I'm even getting through
Can you hear me calling out for you

Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Can you hear me calling you

Oh Alfie can you hear me?
It isn't the same without you now
If it's goodbye Alfie
Then we'll see you on the other side

Alfie if you can hear me
Hurry up Alfie
That joke isn't funny anymore
We're all just fucking bored

So Alfie can you hear me calling you
Alfie can you hear me calling
Well we're trying but we're just not getting through
Can you hear me calling out for you

Oh Alfie can you hear me calling you
Alfie can you hear me calling
Well I don't know if I'm even getting through
Can you hear me calling out for you

Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Can you hear me calling
One more time!

Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Bag it up
Bag it all up now Alfie
Can you hear me calling out for you
