* Matt McGeever (guitar, cello)
* Sam Morris (bass, keyboards, french horn)
* Sean Kelly (drums)
a much loved but now sorely missed, one off, northwest/midlands hybrid of instinctive salfordian folkies and classicaly trained, satirical, psychedelic enthusiasts. did 2 albums on manchesters finest and most influential independant label, twisted nerve. their debut, 'if you happy with you need do nothing' was a sketchy, low-fi, but charming collection of 3 early e.p's that was then followed up with their twisted nerve debut proper, 'a word in your ear'. this record saw the band move a leap closer to the string and harmony drenched, sunshine psychedelia they were planning for their 3rd album, their debut record on regal/parlophone, 'do you imagine things?'. none of these albums sold particulary well so the band did their best and put together their 4th long player, 'crying at teatime'. this record was much bolder but still bore their, by now familiar, lacadaisical, unpretentious, soothing, yada, yada, yada sound, soooo.... as this was supposed to be their debut into the pop world everybody decided that it was all much too odd, all round, so they did the decent thing, (rather than bending to the celebrity ruled world of a.o.r.) and split up.
Alfie may also refer to the artist named Alfie Silas, known for her work with The Andraé Crouch Choir, and solo work under misc names, notably "Star" which was included on The Last Dragon Movie Soundtrack.

Alfie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look so lonely in the street light
You could be, you could be, somebody else with me if you want
I could be, I could be anywhere else with you
We were just dancing 'round to last night
Said, "Is this it?" And I said, "Damn right"
You could be, you could be somebody else with me if you want
Doo, doo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo, doo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Do you want me to come around?
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue
Do you want me to come around?
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue
I was just thinking 'bout the good times
We used to spend out in the sunshine
You could be, you could be doing it now with me if you like
I could be, I could be doing it wrong but you could make it right
We were out late to watch the sunset
Something nostalgia doesn't forget
You could be, you could be somebody else with me if you want
I could be, I could be anywhere else with you
Doo, doo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo, doo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Do you want me to come around?
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue
Do you want me to come around?
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue
Do you want me to come around? (want me to)
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue (color me blue)
Do you want me to come around?
Pick you up when you're feeling down
I could be, I could be someone with you
Color me, color me, color me blue
The song "Colours" by Alfie is a reflection on the importance of colors in the artist's life. The lyrics show that colors in themselves are essential, they are what keep Alfie alive. The artist also wants to be able to hold colors in their hand, which could mean that colors signify a form of tangible presence and comfort for them. Colors are also presented as a source of renewal, where old things can become new again through the power of colors. The line "Colors are where my brain finds blue" shows that colors not only have physical properties but emotional and psychological ones too. Blue, in this context, could represent peace, calmness, and tranquility.
The repetition of "Colors and colors and colors of colors" emphasizes that colors are plentiful, and there is an abundance of them. The line "Bursts of color 'til I'm sick" shows that colors can also become overwhelming and that too much of them can be detrimental. The artist acknowledges that they only wanted to see, that they are the only thing in their heart, and that everything they have is not free. This could be interpreted as the cost of pursuing one's passions and the price of being true to oneself.
