What’s it all about Alfie?

Undying optimism, strength of character or lunacy?

I don’t get it either sometimes, but I’m glad it’s part of my DNA. COYP!

Two hours before kick-off – Notts County v Wealdstone

My location: Puerto Santiago

What’s it all about Alfie?

What’s it all about Alfie Is it just for the moment we live

What’s it all about When you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind?

And if, if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule?

As sure as I believe there’s a heaven above Alfie, I know there’s something much more Something even non-believers can believe in

I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you’ve missed You’re nothing, Alfie

When you walk let your heart lead the way And you’ll find love any day Alfie, Alfie
