Pity Poor Alfie / Fever - The Jam

The streets of pleasure took you to top

But every light was red and every sign said stop

I felt so confined, just like glued to this spot, oh

'Cause we were sleeping in the noon day sun

We escaped the test and the marathon run

And no one heard and these mournful cries of "Alfie!"

We put a stop to that

Whoa, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back

So no one's hurt - we might have made it through

But now there's nothing left except the memories of you

With overflowing powerful woes

'Cause there's real and fright

To the top of the stairs to find poor Alfie

And blood stained letters don't count for change

And don't look for blame

'Cause it's a fair exchange

For the last adventure I have left

'Cause we were sleeping in the noon day sun

We escaped the test and the marathon run

And no one heard and these mournful cries of "Alfie!"

We put a stop to that

Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back

Now it's gonna be hard for me to make it through

When all that's left is the memories of

Nothing left except the memories of war and pain

Please pity poor Alfie

Poor Alfie put a stop to that

Poor Alfie I wish you'd please come back

Poor Alfie put a stop to that

Oh, but Alfie I wish you'd please come back

Poor Alfie!

You'll never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

'Cause when you put your arms around me

I get a fever I can hardly bear

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever through the daytime

I get a fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you kiss me

And I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever through the daytime

I get a fever all through the night

Bless my soul I love you

Take me so far away

Take these arms I'll never use

Just believe what my words have to say

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever through the daytime

I get a fever all through the night

You give me fever
