Alfie
Lily Allen [www.musikaki.blog.br] Lyrics

Oh, deary me
Expressing concern and worry about the situation at hand.

My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed
The singer's younger sibling is in their room smoking marijuana.

I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three
Encouraging the younger sibling to wake up and not waste their day sleeping.

He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC
The younger sibling is too high to get out of bed and be productive.

I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
Offering the younger sibling some tea as a way to connect with them and care for their well-being.

I can't even see you 'cause the room is so smokey
The room is so filled with smoke that the singer can't see their sibling clearly.

Don't understand how one can watch so much TV
Expressing confusion about why the younger sibling would spend so much time watching TV instead of being productive.

My baby brother Alfie, how I wish that you could see
Expressing a desire for the younger sibling to see the potential and opportunities that are available to them.

Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
Reiterating that the artist only wants the best for their sibling and is coming from a place of love and concern.

So please can you stop pulling my hair
Asking the younger sibling to stop being immature and disrespectful to the artist.

Now, now there's no need to swear
Addressing the younger sibling's use of foul language and telling them to calm down and be respectful.

Please don't despair my dear, Mon frere
Reassuring the younger sibling that the artist is not trying to bring them down, but rather trying to help them improve their life.

Oh, Alfie get up it's a brand new day
Encouraging the younger sibling to wake up and make the most of each day.

I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
Expressing frustration with the younger sibling's lack of motivation and drive to be productive.

You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
Encouraging the younger sibling to find a job so that they can contribute to the household and be financially responsible.

Get off your lazy arse
Using strong language to emphasize that the younger sibling needs to start being proactive and stop being lazy.

Alfie, please use your brain
Encouraging the younger sibling to think critically and make smart decisions.

Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
Suggesting that the younger sibling could use their artistic skills to find a job in graffiti art.

I'm feeling guilty if I leading you astray
Expressing a sense of responsibility and guilt for potentially not setting a good example or leading the younger sibling down the wrong path.

Now, how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid
Using crass language to emphasize the younger sibling's lack of romantic prospects and potential sexual frustration due to their lack of ambition and motivation.

When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
Pointing out that the younger sibling is spending too much time playing video games instead of being productive or developing real-world skills.

Oh, little brother, please refrain from doing that
Politely asking the younger sibling to stop their negative behavior.

I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat
Being direct with the younger sibling and calling them out for their bad behavior.

It's time that you and I sit down and had a little chat
Suggesting that the artist and the younger sibling have a serious conversation about the younger sibling's life choices and future.

Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap
Encouraging the younger sibling to be present and engaged in the conversation by removing their hat and making eye contact.

Please don't despair
Reassuring the younger sibling that they are not alone and that the singer is there for them.

Mon frere
Endearingly referring to the younger sibling as 'my brother' in French.
