Lyric discussion by Graspthenettle 

Cover art for Living Next Door To Alice lyrics by Smokie

One of my favourites too. I like lyrics with a story. I don't usually think it's necessary to pull them apart like a novel at a book club, sometimes it's just about escapism and reading what you like into it.

However, I'm glad the earlier poster realised that Alice couldn't be dead as she walked out head held high, lol.

As for no sympathy for someone who hasn't 'made a move' in 24 years. I'm guessing that if you grew up as children and became friends it is hard to risk that in case she doesn't feel the same and you lose the friendship as well.

Ok, so that's enough psychoanalysing ;o) let's just enjoy the song.

Finally to Chubby Brown and all you other infantile idiots who are probably still sniggering at 'rude words' - GROW UP!
