Becoming More Like Alfie - The Divine Comedy

Becoming More Like Alfie - The Divine Comedy

Once there was a time
曾经有一段时间
When my mind lay on higher things
我总是心高气傲
And once there was a time
曾经有一段时间
I could find pretty words to sing
我总是想不出自己认为完美的歌词
But now well now I find
但现在我发现
It saves time to say what you mean
直截了当地说出你的本意 可以节省大家的时间
I know it seems so unrefined
我知道 这听起来很粗俗
But it's time to let off some steam
但现在 是时候放弃那些繁文缛节了
Oh come on
来吧
Everybody knows that No means Yes
大家都知道这很难做到
Just like glasses come free on the N H S
就像在医保里报销眼镜费用一样难
But the more I look through them the more I see
但我看透的越多 我就越发现
I'm becoming more like Alfie
我越来越像电影里的阿尔菲了
Once there was a time
曾经有一段时间
When a kind word would be enough
我觉得一个好词对我来说已经足够
And once there was a time
曾经有一段时间
I could blindfold myself with love
我被爱蒙住了自己的眼睛
But not now now I'm resigned
但如今 那些事都过去了
To the kind of life I had reserved
我已经从过去的生活中脱离
For other guys less smart than I
而那些没有我聪明的人
Y'know the kind who will always end up with
你知道的 他们只有沉迷于
The girls
女色之中
And besides
而且
Everybody knows that No means Yes
大家都知道这很难做到
Just like glasses come free on the N H S
就像在医保里报销眼镜费用一样难
But the more I look through them the more I see
但我看透的越多 我就越发现
I'm becoming more like Alfie
我越来越像电影里的阿尔菲了
Oh come on
来吧
I'm becoming more like Alfie
我越来越像电影里的阿尔菲了
