Good Heavens, Alex Evans

Good heavens
Alex Evans
You've only gone and left us all alone
Good heavens
Alex Evans
It's not as if you've only lost your phone

Oh Alex!
(That's in italics)

So who's there now to make us grin and bear it
When there's nobody to share it
And the burgers need their flipping
And the audience needs seating
And you've only gone and left us on our own

Good heavens
Alex Evans
I'll miss your face and your sardonic smile
Good heavens
Alex Evans
It's not as if you'll come back into style

Oh Alex,
It's far too complex

So who will get my KitKat 'cause you're not supposed to do that
And my tea will be full price for evermore
As I'm not a proper member of the staff at the Courtyard

We're angry and we're sad
'Cause you really weren't that bad as people go
And I wanted you to know
You've left an Alex-shaped hole in our hearts

You've always been around
Since my lungs took in the air, I stood my ground
And I thought I'd always know
You'd be there at the end as the start

So, what do we do now?

Good heavens
Alex Evans
I'll have to get the tea in on my own
Good heavens
Alex Evans
I'd rather we could contact you by phone (or email)

Oh Alex!
(That's in italics)

So you're the A in asshole and loveliness in lovely
You're the straight man and the clown
You're the countryman and proper man in town

Oh Alex!
La la la... Lalex

So I could never find a thing you really couldn't do
You were a versatile performer and a 
Charming entertainer, yes you really were a star

(Except when singing. And getting up. And holding on to a phone for more than 10 days.)

Good heavens
Alex Evans
I've got to stop I'm running out of rhymes
Good heavens
Alex Evans
I must have sung that twenty thousand times

Oh Alex!
La la la... Lalex

Now what?
