Yup, we’re loving Lily Allen on MissMalini.com today 🙂 this next song called Alfie (the last track from her debut album Alright, Still) is a sweetly protective tribute to Lily’s little brother Alfie Owen-Allen in which she tries to persuade him to emerge from his room and stop wasting his life away. She complains that he is spending too much time stuck in his room smoking weed, watching television and playing computer games! (Sound familiar anyone?!)
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you’ll get laid, When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
Um, I guess it worked because Alfie got off his ass and scored a role as Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones. PS. I love that the video starts like a Disney cartoon 🙂 thank you Marvie, you’re the best! xoxo
“Alfie”Ooooo deary me,
My little brother’s in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cos it’s nearly half past three
He can’t be bothered cos he’s high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he’d like a cup of tea,
I can’t even see him cos the 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.[Chorus]
Oooooo I only say it cos 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 frere.Ooooo 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 for leading you astray,
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you’ll get laid,
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?[Chorus]Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I’m trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.
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.
[Chorus]
Please don’t despair
Please don’t despair
Mon frere
