LILY ALLEN - 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 You Cos The Room Is So Smokey
Don't Understand How One Can Watch So Much Tv
My Baby Brother Alfie How I Wish That You Could See
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 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
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
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
Just Look Me In The Eyes Take Off That Stupid Fitted Cap
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
Please Don't Despair
Please Don't Despair
Mon Frere
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Lily Allen, Greg Kurstin
Producer(s): Greg Kurstin
This Samples Sandie Shaw's 1960s UK Hit "Puppet On A String."
This Song Is A Sweetly Protective Tribute To Lily's Younger 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. It All Worked Out For Alfie: In 2011, He Landed The Role Of Theon Greyjoy In Game Of Thrones.
This Was Released As A Double A-Sided Single With "Shame On You."
In The Video Allen Made For This Song Her Brother Is Played By A Chuckie Doll Type Animation. The Real Alfie Allen Is An Entirely Different Character From The One Portrayed Therein; He Is A Dramatic Actor.
