Living Next Door To Alice-Smokie

[00:08.220]Sally called when she got the word, [00:12.600]She said: "I suppose you’ve heard about Alice". [00:23.480]Well I rushed to the window, [00:25.370]And I looked outside, [00:27.620] [00:28.400]But I could hardly believe my eyes - [00:32.390]As a big limousine rolled up [00:35.470]Into Alice’s drive... [00:38.850]Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving, [00:41.420]Or where she’s gonna go, [00:43.150]I guess she’s got her reasons, [00:45.100]But I just don’t want to know, [00:46.850]’Cos for twenty-four years [00:48.920]I’ve been living next door to Alice. [00:55.160]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, [00:58.930]To tell her how I’m feeling, maybe get a second glance, [01:02.550]Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice... [01:11.430]Grew up together, [01:12.050]Two kids in the park, [01:15.800]Carved our initials, [01:17.320]Deep in the bark, [01:22.830]Me and Alice. [01:26.450]Now she walks through the door, [01:28.430]With her head held high, [01:31.140]Just for a moment, I caught her eye, [01:35.790]As a big limousine pulled slowly [01:38.350]Out of Alice’s drive. [01:41.800]Oh, I don’t know why she’s leaving, [01:44.230]Or where she’s gonna go, [01:46.170]I guess she’s got her reasons, [01:47.990]But I just don’t want to know, [01:50.110]’Cos for twenty-four years [01:51.990]I’ve been living next door to Alice. [01:58.180]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, [02:01.870]To tell her how I’m feeling, maybe get a second glance, [02:05.550]Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice... [02:14.240]Sally called back, asked how I felt, [02:18.530]She said: "I know how to help get over Alice". [02:28.900]She said: "Now Alice is gone, [02:31.480]But I’m still here, [02:34.000]You know I’ve been waiting [02:35.760]For twenty-four years..." [02:39.450]And the big limousine disappeared... [02:45.240]I don’t know why she’s leaving, [02:47.350]Or where she’s gonna go, [02:49.110]I guess she’s got her reasons, [02:51.090]But I just don’t want to know, [02:52.810]’Cos for twenty-four years [02:54.620]I’ve been living next door to Alice. [03:01.040]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, [03:04.890]To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, [03:08.380]But I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice... [03:16.800]Now I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
