Jam - Pity Poor Alfie/fever Lyrics
The streets of pleasure took you to topBut every light was red and every sign said stopI felt so confined, just like glued to this spot, ohcause we were sleeping in the noon day sunWe escaped the test and the marathon runAnd no one heard and these mournful cries of alfie!We put a stop to thatWhoa, but alfie, I wish youd please come backSo no ones hurt - we might have made it throughBut now theres nothing left except the memories of youWith overflowing powerful woescause theres real and frightTo the top of the stairs to find poor alfieAnd blood stained letters dont count for changeAnd dont look for blamecause its a fair exchangeFor the last adventure I have leftcause we were sleeping in the noon day sunWe escaped the test and the marathon runAnd no one heard and these mournful cries of alfie!We put a stop to thatOh, but alfie, I wish youd please come backNow its gonna be hard for me to make it throughWhen all thats left is the memories ofNothing left except the memories of war and painPlease pity poor alfiePoor alfie put a stop to thatPoor alfie I wish youd please come backPoor alfie put a stop to thatOh, but alfie I wish youd please come backPoor alfie!Youll never know how much I love youNever know how much I carecause when you put your arms around meI get a fever I can hardly bearYou give me feverWhen you kiss meFever when you hold me tightFever through the daytimeI get a fever all through the nightSun lights up the daytimeMoon lights up the nightI light up when you kiss meAnd I know youre gonna treat me rightYou give me feverWhen you kiss meFever when you hold me tightFever through the daytimeI get a fever all through the nightBless my soul I love youTake me so far awayTake these arms Ill never useJust believe what my words have to sayYou give me feverWhen you kiss meFever when you hold me tightFever through the daytimeI get a fever all through the nightYou give me fever
